RolandTB-03 Bass Line
A direct ancestor of the renowned TB-303 Bass Line Synth is the battery-operated TB-03. It functions exactly like the original because the layout and controls haven't changed. Roland's cutting-edge ACB technology, which mimics the mesmerizing flowing grooves of the magic silver box, makes it sound just like it. However, the new TB-03 goes even further because it has a number of improvements over the old model. Programming is made simpler and more precise by the four-digit LED display, and delay and overdrive effects allow you to unleash a distorted, tribal wall of sound that will enrage the audience. In the studio, the TB-03 may transmit control data using MIDI or its USB connector, which also serves as an audio interface.
