Apologies if this has been posted before. Could you all recommend the best according to your opinion TB 303 Vsti?

non free i can think of.

best are

audiorealism bassline (realsitic 303 sounds)
d16 phcosyn (modded 303 sounds.. kinda like a devilfish mod)
spectralheads 303 (gritty dirty 303 sounds. not perfectly emulated but capable of serious dirt)

all cost about 100 yoyos

think so? the emulation sounds pretty good to me. i think what i'll do is grab the 2 and do some comparing.

it sounds like an emulation of a monophonic bassline synth with a resonant filter, thats where the similarity ends my friend.

yuk. I grabbed a synth the other day which had a 303 type thing on it but :lol: it just sounded like an elastic band being twanged.

Im getting the audio realism one now as we speak.

To be absolutely honest.... the BEST 303 emulation I have ever heard or used is Propellerheads's ReBirth - Get it hooked up to cubase with Rewire! Tremendous!

say what you wish, but the sound from rebirth is SOOO close to the real thing..... I had a 303 and sold it after my student credit card debt caught up and knocked on my door.

Rebirth is a truly aweful emulation of the 303.
It has absolutely no guts at all, it`s very old and thin.

AudioRealism Bassline is the one

All 303`s on this ep were audiorealism

The actual 303 itself is thin out the box untill you mess it up..... Take a rebirth 303 line, buss it out and throw it through some outboard distortion pedals and you have some wickedly amazing acid!!! IMHO :)

?? no it aint! its as fat as ****. the low end is just pure bubbly warmth.

i did a test here before and threw an original 303 and a few emulations thru an outboard fender frontline pedal and the differances were huge. closest thing was ABL followed by the d16.

Although every single 303 has a different sound, they are never thin.
They are called 303 bassline, and I`ve never heard one that sounds thin, one of my mates has an original, as new condition 303 and it sounds lovely and solid, anothe rmate of mine has 4!! and 1 devilfish, he kept buying them to get one with a particular sound the nutter, none of them sound thin either.

Fun, and free... OK no VSTness so you'll have to record it, but it makes some crazy sounds...

Why are so many people so obsessed with perfectly emulating a 303 anyway...
