Roland TB-03 Bass Line

Compact bass line with ACB technology, four-digit LED display, built-in speaker for immediate testing and much more.

The battery-operated TB-03 is the direct successor to the legendary TB-303 bass line synth. The controls and their arrangement correspond exactly to the original in the new edition. And thanks to Roland's advanced ACB technology, the sound also sounds like the hypnotising liquid grooves of the silver magic box. However, the TB-03 goes even further than the original with some further developments: the four-digit LED display allows you to programme faster and more accurately, while overdrive and delay effects create a powerful sound board that will send the crowd into ecstasy. In the studio, the TB-03 can be integrated into the setup via its MIDI sockets or the USB port. The latter also functions as a 24-bit/96kHz audio interface.

Thanks to ACB (Analogue Circuit Behavior) technology, which is already used in the popular AIRA series, the TB-03 emulates the expressive, powerful and organic sound of the original exactly and also has a few surprises in store. The sawtooth and square wave of the legendary 303 are of course on board, as are the indispensable controls: Tuning, Cutoff, Resonance, Envelope Mod, Decay and Accent.

The TB-03 has several enhancements compared to the original TB-303: The four-digit LED display enables faster and more precise programming. Numerous overdrive, delay and reverb effects change the sound and mood of the TB-03, and programming patterns has also become much easier with newly added functions such as "Step Write", "Shuffle" and fine adjustment of the tempo.

The TB-03's USB port turns it into a high-quality 24-bit/96kHz audio interface that you can use to record directly into your DAW. In addition, all important settings can be archived and loaded via the USB port.
