Roland Cloud TB-303

Roland Cloud TB-303

Some instruments are so groundbreaking, they create entire musical genres. Roland’s TB-303 is one of these influential instruments, but it wasn’t always seen that way.
‍
When Roland released the TB-303 Bass Line in 1981 it was marketed as a computerized bass machine to simulate a bass guitar. However, as its unique history has shown, inventive electronic musicians soon discovered the 303. They often came across one second-hand, finding a world of uses for the little silver box and its fluid low end.
‍
Using the 303 in new ways, DJ Pierre and Phuture pioneered what came to be known as acid. This new style helped form a host of other electronic music genres. The iconic sounds of the 303 remain inseparable from dance music, and they form the foundation of countless historic recordings.

Roland Cloud's TB-303 Software Bass Synthesizer takes the classic instrument to the next level. Utilizing the same ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) modeling as the Roland JUNO-106, JUPITER-8, and others from Legendary series, the virtual TB-303 captures the hypnotic tone of the original hardware and forms the perfect complement to the TR-909 and other instruments in Roland Cloud.
‍
Like the Roland TR-808 and its influence on hip-hop, the TB-303 played an essential role in the development of the late ‘80s-early ‘90s rave culture. It is safe to say electronic music as Roland knows it would not exist without this unassuming musical device. The 303 hooked producers with its ability to continually shapeshift and transform grooves in real time. There hasn’t been anything like it since, and now it’s yours to enjoy as part of a Roland Cloud subscription.
