Roland TB-3 AIRA Touch Bassline

The Roland TB-3 is a touchbass virtual analogue synthesizer. takes the ground breaking, genre defining, raw bass generating power of its forebear and bulldozes it into the modern day. When the original TB-303 was released in 1981, nobody could have predicted the effect it would have on the global music scene. This little unassuming silver unit, designed to make guide-tracks for bass players, quickly became so popular as a standalone instrument that it went on to define the whole Acid House genre that swept from the US to the UK. The TB-3 is here to take all that we love about the TB-303 and couple it with all that we love about modern audio technology. The best of the old and the new together in one earth trembling box. The TB-303 is one of those amazing old units whose errors became desired effects in later years. When programming patterns using the complex creation method, the TB-303 would often insert random sounds by mistake that would actually add depth to the sequence. The TB-3 stays true to this phenomenon by using a random pattern modification feature to copy this TB-303 characteristic.
