darenager's video: DA-303 a TB-303 sound pack for Roland MC-101 MC-707 and other Zen Core synths

Purchase sound pack here: https://payhip.com/b/J1zr First there are some comparisons with my stock TB-303 for reference, then a few of the included demo patterns. There are some other demos on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/darenager About As a long time user of the TB-303 and various clones, after a purchasing a Roland MC-101, I was a bit disappointed to discover that there were not any very convincing or accurate TB-303 patches in the presets or in any of the downloadable packs. I decided to create this pack, I wanted to create a variety of TB-303 patches and this is the result. Rather than adding fx I decided just to focus on as accurate emulation as I could, it goes without saying that capturing every nuance of an analog synth as unique as the TB-303, using a sample based digital synth engine is not really feasible. So given that things like the accent behaviour and filter interactions, built using analogue technology in the TB-303, have no direct equivalents in the Zen core synthesis system I decided to create 8 variations of both square and sawtooth TB-303 style sounds, trying to capture as best as possible most of the tones available on the TB-303 and the various clones I have used. So obviously all 16 patches are fundamentally pretty similar, the differences between each being in things like accent response, knob ranges, and depth of modulation and filter cutoff, resonance, filter envelope amount, filter decay ranges, etc. I spent many hours cross referencing between 3 TB-303s including 1 stock calibrated version and two modded examples, my custom x0xb0x, a Roland TB-03, and Cyclone Analogic TT-303 mk1 and mk2 versions, the idea being to have a nice collection of patches which cover that range. I also decided to include a few drum kits, as well as usage tips to allow users to get the best from the sounds, and knob mappings are included in a blank project as well as 16 patterns in a demo project. Thanks for watching! Apologies for the lack of flashy video production values, I only have iMovie and I’m no Spielberg!
