Roland TB-3 Article in Forbes Featuring Ladyada (x0xb0x), Klaus Suessmuth (acidlab), & Mr. Lee (TT-303)

Jasper Hamill wrote in to let us know he published an article on the new TB-3 for Forbes online here. The article features comments from  x0xb0x's Ladyada, acidlab's Klaus Suessmuth, and the first interview ever with Cyclone Analogic's Mr Lee.  Roland believes they captured the essence of the TB-303.  From Brandon Ryan, AIRA group strategy manager for Roland Corporation, in the article:

“'We deeply analyzed what makes a 303 a 303,' Ryan told me. 'We consulted with the original engineers, studied original schematics and constantly compared the TB-3 to our own original TB-303 units. And we think we’ve improved upon the original in some ways. Even with its modern touches, it’s just got that 303 thing – and that’s really what matters at the end of the day.'"

Interface aside, there is one other thing to consider in addition to the raw sound of the TB-303.  There's also the behavior and character of the 303 driven by it's sequencer.  One characteristic that made the 303 shine in my opinion was the accent and glide or slide.  The 303 is capable of an almost rubber band like action when it comes to the glide between notes. You can hear it come in at :57 in this video. I have yet to hear it on the TB-3 or confirmation that it can cover it.  Informally I have heard that it can't, but I haven't given up hope.  Not sure how the other clones compare.  No other synth I'm aware of can do it quite like the 303.  If you have an opinion feel free to comment.

It's worth noting the TB-3 is not the first 303 inspired synth from Roland.  Prior to the TB-3, Roland also came out with the MC-303 and the MC-09 PhraseLab which many consider a great little box at reproducing the TB-303 sound.  Not sure how it did with that slide though.

acidlab Coming Out with $150 Mini TB-303

via this article on Forbes (coming up in a separate post above).

"Suessmouth is so sure that musicians still want the sound of analog that he’s planning to release a teeny-tiny portable acid instrument, which will cost just $150 and offer the same much-loved sound of the 303."

A Little Summer Of Love | A Guy Called Gerald on 303 HR | They Call It Acid

Published on Jun 18, 2012 alittlesummeroflove·2 videos

"A visual art exhibition celebrating the early years of acid house kicks off with a very special event on Saturday 30 June which is also the launch party for a superb compilation of classic British house on Strut Records.*

The event presents the graphic art of DAVE LITTLE; the photography of DAVE SWINDELLS and a private preview of GORDON MASON's acclaimed documentary film 'They Call It Acid'.

The launch party will also feature a live performance of the first British acid house tune, 'Voodoo Ray' by A GUY CALLED GERALD feat. DIANE CHARLEMAGNE**, as well as DJs NOEL WATSON (Delirium), KID BATCHELOR (Bang The Party, Confusion), RICHARD SEN (Strut Records), and other pioneering house DJs alongside current acid house renegades PARIS' ACID BALL (Hannah Holland and Dan Beaumont of Bastard Batty Bass, Disco Bloodbath, Trailer Trash and many more messy parties).

It will be held in Westbourne Studios, an ideal location to exhibit artwork and project it onto triple-height walls and screens, with a 64-seater cinema room, an intimate bar-come-dancefloor and a huge central area which is by turns a performance space, an exhibition area and a chill-out zone to kick back and watch the visuals...

A Little Summer of Love will be free before 9pm, £8 after (incl £3 donation to music charities)


* 'Richard Sen presents This Ain't Chicago, the underground sound of UK house and acid 1987-1991', will be released by Strut Records on June 25.
The CD will have its launch party at A Little Summer of Love. The sleeve notes and photography are by Dave Swindells.

** A Guy Called Gerald's seminal track, 'Voodoo Ray', is to be re-released with fresh remixes by A Guy Called Gerald and Francois K on July 2.

"Native Instruments released Molekular today. It's a great sounding flexible multi effects unit running within Reaktor. Here's a video of a preset i just made making weird melodies from a vocal (an outtake from My World ft Giovanca). Molekular in trails mode, with a step sequencer set to 9 steps in pendulum mode modulating the pitch."

Roland TR-8 Processed Through VT-3 Voice Transformer

"Instead of running a voice through the Voice Transformer, here's what a "transformed" drum beat sounds like. Some of the effects might be useful. Sorry about the hiss. I didn't hear it through my monitors, so it must be on the camera's input."
