Roland's TB-03 and TB-3 aren't even the only 303 clones on the market – far from it. virtual analog (VA) is a perennial holy war in the synth world – with some folks insisting that analog is (often) superior, and others insisting that those people are pretentious twits, and that there is no audible difference between the two. Specifically, it uses Roland's proprietary "ACB" technology, which emulates the physics of an analog circuit on a component-by-component level.Īnalog vs. The new TB-03 (like most of Roland's recent instruments, including their other recent TB-303 remake, the TB-3) is virtual analog – a digital simulation of analog sounds. The original TB-303 uses analog circuitry. That's a good way to start a vigorous and nerdy debate in synth circles :) Underworld used their 909 and VP-330 vocoder on many songs) posted by naju (117 comments total)
