Doepfer A-100 does TB303

Legendary Bass Synth Roland TB303 has many clones trying to create that unique gnarly modulated bass sound made popular by techno, house and similar dance music styles.
Doepfer also created modules for his great modular synth system A-100 to achieve such sounds.
Here I used 1 A-110 VCO (TB303 also has but one VCO ... I tried the A-111 but it's too softish); A-103 3-pole lowpass filter (although according to Wikipedia the TB303 had a 4-pole filter contrary to public belief); A-142 Decay/Gate Envelope (TB303's envelope only had a Decay parameter) - Doepfer's A-142 allows VC modulation which I used to create some kind of note slide effect which seems essential).
At the beginning I use a square wave and after a few bars I switch to sawtooth. I created a house music kind of track to show how it sounds in a musical setup.
Other equipment I use: Studio Electronics SE1x for subbass, Cwejman SE1 MK2 for the sweeping sound; Virus TI2 for housy keys; NI Maschine for all drums and vocal hits.
Enjoy! Leave a comment and rate if you like.

take the beat out!

The resonant parts sound convincing. Where most fail is in the non resonant parts with proper slide, when resonance isn't masking the sound. I can't hear the slide effect at all here.

Really good - thanks for uploading!

This sounds more like an SH-101 than a TB-303

great sound, really good performance!

[electro257]

a very good emulation i think... although the vermona Per4mer is a very good alternative.
