Product Description
Only produced from 1981 to 1984, the Roland TB-303 was a tremendous commercial flop as a replacement for the bass guitar, however it soon found its place as one of the most-loved synthesizers for what became known as Electronic Dance Music (EDM). An ultra-affordable and faithful homage to the iconic synthesizer that spawned house music, plus an all-new Distortion circuit, the TD-3-BB lets you conjure up virtually any sound with incredible finesse and ease. With its pure analogue signal path, 16-step Sequencer and authentic VCO, VCF and VCA filters, the TD-3-BB is sure to become one of your favourite synthesizers.
Great care has been taken in engineering the TD-3-BB, including the true to the original VCO, VCF and VCA designs and pure analogue circuitry with matched transistors. This highly-focused attention to detail is what gives TD-3-BB its ultra-flexible sound shaping capability, which covers everything from super-fat bass and lead tones to stunning effects – all the way out to the otherworldly sounds of your imagination.
Your TD-3-BB comes ready to rock, thanks to its default signal routing that doesn’t require lifting a single patch cable to instantly create amazing sounds. The highly-intuitive layout lets you easily tap into the inspired sounds of 1980s and ’90s progressive rock, wave, EDM and synth-pop music tracks that made rock and roll history – or to design incredibly fat and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right!
The very heart of TD-3-BB’s sound is its versatile 24 dB/octave filter, which lets you freely experiment with the low-pass Cut-off frequency and Resonance settings to dial in the perfect sound.
TD-3-BB’s authentic Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with transistor wave-shaping circuitry is ultra-easy to use and provides your choice of reverse-sawtooth or pulse waveforms for the ultimate in sound creation.
