303

The TB-303 Bass Line by Roland became a cult favorite in Acid House and other flavors of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) for its rubbery, slithery synth bass sound. Many attribute the sound of the 303 to its very resonate “3-pole” filter (when it appears it actually had a 4-pole design – check out the link below for the gory details); there are also some synth voices that recreate the single oscillator with its sawtooth or modified square wave and simple envelope generator which only offered a decay control.
