It’s easily the most used and copied sound. Like the Amen Break of synths.
I think the release of the TR-1000 has brought it back around a bit. Not that it ever went completely away as was stated previously. Side by side, they are an effective combo.
I love seeing so many brilliant creatives throwing their talents at the 303 - hardware hackers, software writers, etc.
its been getting a renaissance since 2006 i think
I have a huge stack of records that prove it was used heavily throughout the 00s. And the 90s too
It's amusing to see comments implying that the TB-303 is some kind of neglected classic. In reality, it can only be considered to have been forgotten for perhaps the two years after Roland ended production in 1984.
"Acid Tracks" came out in 1987 and I genuinely feel like I've been reading endlessly about the 303 ever since.
