Roland TB-03 Sound Demo + BIG MUFF + MXR Distortion

[@bikeninja956]

the first loop is how Rom de Prisco made one of the tracks for the videogame, Need for speed. a soundtrack renouned world wide. In an e-mail he even mentioned it was all from 90's Roland synths put through distortion just like this, makes for incredible sounds that's for sure.

Well Roland have captured the spirit of the original 303, even if the sound is somewhat brittle at times.

[@Izangho]

sounds amazing

[@st0rmchild]

Wait…you're Aiyn Zahev? The one who did a bunch of the presets for Hive and Repro-5? You do really great work. I'm a big fan.

[@AiynZahevSounds]

Yes that's me. Thank you very much!

[@st0rmchild]

@@AiynZahevSounds I checked out a bunch of sets on your site, and the ones you did for Massive X. I don't usually buy presets (prefer to make my own) but I might have to make an exception in this case. I've learned a lot from your Repro and Hive presets.

[@harmonizauk]

absolutely masterful demonstration! I found myself bopping along the whole time, also you are really good at creating those loops! Any recommendations for decent hardware distortions for this kinda thing?

[@AiynZahevSounds]

I think the MXR is pretty good. I haven't tried out that many. From what I've heard online the RAT pedal is my favorite 303 distortion. Also small analog mixers can offer really good distortion for 303 and 909 etc

[@busknicbuksno948]

[@RoberinoEldorado]

0:00 The Melody right at the beginning is insane. Is this an actual song with a full version somewhere? If yes, what is it called?

Yes! It's the Need For Speed II Main Menu theme by Rom di Prisco! You can search that here on KZbin.

Salut ! je viens d'acheter ce petit bijou mais je n'arrive pas à l'utiliser aha. J'utilise une tb03 de chez Roland pour l'acid. J'ai donc branché de " output " de la tb03 à " input " de la pédale et de " output " de la pédale à line in de ma Maschine mk3 ( qui fait office d'interface audio ) mais aucun son ne sort de la pédale. J'utilise Ableton Live, aurait tu une idée du soucis ? merci beaucoup .

[@naveenlalwani2788]

@@AiynZahevSounds did you program it on the synth or send midi from ableton. Also i wanted to check, does sending midi through ableton create a difference in the sound quality/alter the sound of the tb - 03 in comparison with programming the synth itself?

[@AiynZahevSounds]

@@naveenlalwani2788 I did all these sequences on the 303. Sometimes I did make a midi version just to use as a guide when programming the 303. I don't think it would effect the sound but you would have to send some kind of midi cc for accent notes, or something like that. The sequencer does have a part in the 303 sound.

[@benedictjohnson2176]

Wow great demo! How are you doing those rhythmic squeals? I don't mean the squeal of the resonance, i mean the accented squeals.. is it a fast octave slide? cheers

[@AiynZahevSounds]

Thanks. That's what accents do. Accented notes put extra strength on the envelope to filter, but the shape is a little quirky, it gives the 303 a distinctive sound.

What is the best distortion plugin for 303 acid that you've used? There are soo many pedal distortion plugin's out there... many of them being emulations of real distortion pedals.

This is not and never will be a 303 .Too Clinical and digitally cold...

[@djvar94]

Hhhmmm, actually I've heard far worse. Besides, it does actually sound maybe not quite 100% quite like the original (perhaps due to some small differences in the sequencer rather than the synth engine), but I'd say that's certainly like 95% if not a bit more there. The filters are the exactly the same as on the original (albeit digital but they follow exactly the same modelling as the original) and the synth engine again albeit digital it does follow Roland's ACB Analog Circuit Behaviour. Plus both units have been made by Roland themselves so who better than Roland to create a rebirth model or the original? They know better than anyone the modelling of the circuits, filters etc. So I'd say if you really want to get as close to the sound of the original, you really can't go wrong with this unit. This is definitely one of your best bets.
