Roland Launches Software Version Of TB-303

Subscribers to Roland's Cloud service can recreate 303 sounds via a new software version

Roland has launched a software version of its famed TB-303 bass synthesiser.

Available to subscribers of the Roland Cloud service, the software version uses Analogue Circuit Behaviour technology to recreate the sounds you would get from a TB-303, while the online version also retains the look of the actual product. The original synth’s sequencer has however been replaced by a graphic interface.
