KODY PROJECT IGI 2 SOFTWARE

So, no, you just cannot substitute a 303 with any synth, you need a synth which is explicitly designed to emulate the 303.įortunately for everyone, there are quite a number of 303 clones and emulations, in hardware and software form, this here is just one of them.

It’s also a common misconception that the unique sound of the 303 is all due to that filter, well, it’s not. The unique 303 sound is 50% due to sequencer which controls the synth engine, and the other 50% goes between the oscillator, filter, accent, slide, and how the parameters (Tone Control) work. Notice how i basically mentioned every single thing on that synth. That’s correct, the only normal thing in the 303 is the sawtooth waveform, which is more or less a pure boring old ramp. So while the square wave, the filter and those other things are indeed unique on their own - this doesn’t mean that you’ll instantly make acid if you take the filter from the 303 and slap it in another synth. Aww, I can’t believe that’s the explanation, I thought it’s the filter! The individual parts are not responsible for the result, it’s the combination of them together in that little box. The first “Beta” release of the VB-303 was in 2009.Īt that time, it wasn’t a very serious project, and it was rather ugly.Īfter that, i started a thread in the DSP section at KVR about my lousy filter. That thread soon morphed into a discussion about Ladder filters and specifically transistor and diode ladder filters.Īnd finally a dedicated thread was created for discussing 303 stuff - Open303.Īt that time i barely knew anything about the TB-303. I’ve been reading whatever was available on the internet, and listening to audio samples from the few places i managed to find.Īt the Open303 thread, we were asking for someone who owns a TB-303 to record us some audio samples that we can look at. Rv0 gave answers to my hundreds of questions with great patience, as well as audio recordings, many of them.Īt some point in time then, some guy (rv0) PM’ed me that he can record samples for me, i really didn’t expect that to happen, this 303 seemed so mythical to me.
