Best 303 Emulators

Best 303 Emulators
Posted on: 22.05.2012 by Verona Fashbaugh
Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy a 303 VST. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards D16 Group Audio Software's PHOSCYON. For $75, it's not a bad deal. I just thought I would ask if you guys had any suggestions.

By the way, I'm running OSX. So Rebirth 338 is not an option .

Just got ABL2 not too long ago after demoing phoscyon and it for a while. I eventually decided on ABL2 because I enjoy technobox2 on my iPhone so damn much.

The only "problem" I have with it is that it's sequencer is different from the original in a weird way. It only seems to play 16th notes and rests instead of being able to tie 16th notes together. Perhaps I'm just missing how to do it (it was weird on the real TB-303s). But I really like the sound and how it works (notes sent into it choose patterns, which it stores…or you can just play it by passing midi notes into it) and sounds.

I read/listened to a shootout at some point and ABL2 seemed to win that one both in the ears of the author and in mine.

I'd recommend that one.

sorry I meant ABL

Could be cool in one big plugin.

I've got ADM and ABL both great plugins

It's coming, he's said so in his community s. Wish he'd hurry up with Mac64bit versions of the plugs but he said its not that simple as the way he originally made them used some older osx coding frameworks

ADM isn't a 303.

And a single plugin that does what Technobox2 does would be pointless…he's already got plugins that do each individual part…all that's missing is the performance screen, which is really just a compromise for "performing" stuff with an iPod/iPad because it takes so long to get between screens……which wouldn't come up in a production environment and is more easily solvable in a live environment using real MIDI controllers.

I'm not saying you're wrong……but it's effing pointless.

Audio realism ADM but he's also realising Technobox as a plugin soon which is pretty cool

@mostapha: play with the slide and time buttons. slide will link the current step with the next one.

I know it's not what you're looking for exactly, but Rob Papens Predator has been good to me as far as getting some acid-esque/303 sounds. Might be something too look into as the price point isn't that much more than $75 plus it does loads more as well. Really good synth that I find myself going back to time and again for lead/rhythm lead sounds.
