has released TV3, a software emulation of the legendary Roland TB-303 that’s free to download from now until 1 December 2024. Inspired by the classic acid bass synth that revolutionised the electronic music industry, TV3 packs all the power of the original while offering a completely unique design and workflow. TV3 features two oscillators (main and sub) and two selectable waveforms (square and sawtooth).
The signal is fed into a 24dB/oct low-pass resonant, non-self oscillating filter, with cutoff and resonance controls. Users also get an envelope section, and 4 unique distortion modes: Saturation, Saturated Wavefolding, Fuzz and Nock, along with an inbuilt high-pass filter. Featuring a minimal set of parameters, the plugin offers a simplified control set, with an Advanced Panel for those seeking deeper control.
Notably, TV3 features a Pattern Generator, making bassline creation not only effortless but also fun. Simply click on the generate button to instantly produce an original pattern and explore unlimited sequences. You can adjust the complexity, length, scale (21 to choose from) and key of your sequences, and export generated patterns as MIDI files directly from the plugin interface into your DAW for immediate use.
Alternatively, you can drag the MIDI file to your computer’s desktop or file system, allowing you to assemble your own bassline MIDI pack in a flash. Feel free to save patches in the plugin and recall them anytime as well. There’s also a bunch of built-i.
