TRoss 303 combines a TB-303-style synthesizer and step sequencer with 64-pattern memory, pattern chaining, controlled random generation and MIDI export.
Its analog circuitry has been modelled component by component from the original schematics, capturing the interaction of the oscillator, filter, envelopes, accents and slides.
All controls are MIDI-mappable, so you can connect your favourite controller and shape the sound hands-on.
"Testing the alpha version of this new release of the Machinedrum emulator.
The developer’s idea is not so much to emulate the Machinedrum’s interface 1:1, but rather to create a more accessible and intuitive implementation of all the Machinedrum’s capabilities.
It’s all there for you to explore.
This magnificent idea will undoubtedly be well received. In fact, until now I hadn’t realized just how complete and powerful the Machinedrum is.
It’s still in Alpha version—don’t forget that. It’s getting better every day. And don’t forget to support the developers if you have the chance.
Here’s all the info & downloads:

Added preset saving, sysex exports, just a ton of stuff i dont feel like writing down
Added Monomodule FX as a standalone FX bus plugin
NEXT RELEASE WILL BE OPEN SOURCE!!
Shnolk Monomodule — beta
A chip-level emulation of the Elektron Monomachine. This installer puts the plugins in the system plugin folders (Audio Unit and VST3) and the Library app in /Applications:
• Monomodule One — one Monomachine track: every synth and FX machine, the three LFOs (instrument)
• Monomodule Six — all six tracks in one instrument: MIDI channels 1-6, one stereo output per track, the hardware's routing (multitimbral instrument)
• Monomodule FX — the FX machines (THRU, REVERB, CHORUS, DYNAMIX, RINGMOD, PHASER, FLANGER) as an audio effect for any channel, with the same pages and LFOs (effect)
• Monomodule Library — a standalone app: import your Monomachine sysex dumps, browse their presets, kits and patterns, hear them with the play glyphs, and drag them into the plugins or the DAW
Requires Windows and macOS 12 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel.
Thanks to @halftoneworld for making this Monomachine Emulator"
"Testing the polyphonic version of the Monomodule emulator, called Monomodule Six.
As you can see, it uses a multichannel configuration for playback—in this case, 5 of the 6 channels.
It runs pretty smoothly, though it still has a little way to go.
I don't know what do you guys think, but this is absolutely amazing. A month ago, this would have been unthinkable.
Thanks to @halftoneworld for doing this."
"Another different emulator. It emulates the sound engine of one monophonic voice per track. All the various machines and effects featured in the Monomachine are present.
Private Beta. Soon in your DAW of choice.
The only file needed is the original Elektron_SFX6-60_OS1.32B.syx you can get @ Elektrons official web"
From the developer: "I'm the developer of this, it is currently only released in the form of a private, invite-only beta, but the full public release coming next week will be free and open source."
"Here is a small demo of this Monomachine/Machinedrum emulator. Yes, you read that right. A true emulator with all its functions included, even parameter locks. Still in Alpha stage and you can see its peaking 75% CPU but its working flawlessly.
You´ll need your original Rom for MD/MM.

"The Alesis PHLNGR, part of the ModFX series, was released in 2002. It is a stereo digital flanger effect unit and like all Alesis effects, it has a sound of its own, with a lot of personality at a very low price."
"When I heard that the guy that designed the famous Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 mod was going to release a low cost synthesizer based on the ssm2044 filters, I knew right then that it was going to be an amazing project.
A man only design, develop and build project. With its own sound makes this a unique synth with a lot of possible modulations functions. Here you can hear some patches I made with it."
"I finally got to try a Korg KMX8 from 1983. It has some of the best harmonic distortion I've ever heard. Mixing in red is a delight. The Master EQ on it is awesome. Until now I had always used the Boss BX series but this Korg mixer gives an incredible sound to whatever you put into it.

"I am a big fan of tubbutec mods. They offer fascinating new possibilities to old synthesizers while preserving their original functionality.
Modypoly update enables new voice modes: 2 Voice, 3 Voice, Polychord and extended unison mode.
Here Im triggering the Monopoly with a TR-606. Chords via Korg Hawk 800."
The Korg Polysix is a vintage analog polyphonic synthesizer that was first introduced in 1981.
Korg developed the Polysix with an eye on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, trying to provide some of the features found on the more expensive synth in a compact, reliable and much cheaper design.
With one oscillator per voice and six voices, SSM2044 4-pole voltage-controlled filters, unique Korg VCO design, awesome envelopes and analog effects, the Polysix sounds fantastic.
The white panel of this Polysix was made by synthronics.de and the inverted keys come from a pair of Korg Poly 800, although the origin of those original Korg grey knobs remains a mystery to me."
"As you know, the MIDI protocol was created in 1983, two years after the release of the TR 606.
That is why the synchronization system it uses is different from the one later used by the industry: our beloved MIDI.
In order to synchronize MIDI devices and sequencers with rhythm boxes from the 80's using DIN SYNC there are different sync boxes.
I opted for the Doepfer MSY2 as it is the cheapest and it turns out that it works great. I haven't had to adjust the trimmers on the back, it works great just out of the box.
NOTE: The clock led is not properly recorded due to the refresh rate of my camera, but is clock solid even if you can't see it correctly."
"This pedal is a very simple synthesizer that was built in 1984. Here I operate it by closing the trigger circuit with my finger and modulating the pitch. Pure electricity!"
