They are missing the point, the 303 shouldn’t be taken apart like that, it should be examined as a whole.Īnd the combination of that oscillator, with that filter, with that sequencer, and those other little details (accent and slide) working together is what makes this thing unique, and so hard to recreate with anything else.
Many people think they can substitude a 303 with any synth which has saw/square and a resonant filter.
Well every synth has an oscillator, filter and amp, and you have a sequencer in your DAW, no? It’s just 1 oscillator, thru 1 filter, and VCA, controlled via a sequencer. It took me 4 years to get to here, and now i think i can see the answer. I’ve been trying to understand - WHY is it so hard to make this sound on my own? What makes it so special? I’ve been trying to recreate this sound for 10 years, i know it’s a single oscillator thru a resonant filter, but no matter what i did - something wasn’t quite right.
I am interested in using a 303, not because it emulates a bass guitar, but because of that special unique sound that comes out of it. It’s an approximation of the sound of a x0xb0x, and the sequencer of the TB-303.įor many reasons, this plugin will not be developed any further, don’t wait for updates/bugfixes. Venom VB-303 is a win32 VST made with SynthEdit/SE_SDK2.
