People modded the real hardware to do just that (eg. Real World Interfaces' Devil Fish mod: http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/dfish/ http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/dfish/ ). I'm not enough of a 303 connoisseur either to say if this softsynth is realistic or not, but maybe you're remembering the sound of modded hardware.
- djaychela 10y agoNo, I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of RB-338, and definitely not a modded one; I had access to a 303 back in the day for a few weeks and it could have been that, but it was definitely standard. My friend I mentioned before has a number of 303s, both standard and modded, and showed me some of the extreme settings he gets on them (everything he makes is properly extreme!), but I don't know 100% that RB-338 wasn't more extreme than standard.
- laumars 10y agoOff topic, but who is this friend you speak of? TB-303 was one of the synths I always drooled over as a kid, though I do think that it's legend is perhaps bigger than the synth itself was. Going back to this Show HN: this is an awesome project. Sounds good (albeit I too can't comment on accuracy) and performs well too (ie it doesn't appear to grind my browser to a halt like many technical demos do). The UX could use a little work but frankly few DAWs have good UX in my opinion so this is at least as good as the professional products in that department.
- djaychela 10y agoJon Bell aka Captain Tinrib [1] I'm kinda the same with the 303; I have enjoyed playing with them, but never got what some others can do out of them, but I think a lot is the music you're into - I was far more into prog stuff so never really got on that well with pattern-based sequencers.
