what is the best 303 emulation soft synth

**josephjobling** · 08-04-2008, 01:01 AM

Just a quick question. as i can't afford a tb303 i wanted to know what the best software version was. i use computer magazine's cm303 which isn' bad but isn't great. which one sound the closest.

I don't know first hand, but the two I always see recommended are Phoscyon (spelling?) and Audiorealism Bassline.

download rebirth :) Audiorealism is also good.

**rhythmtech** · 08-04-2008, 11:25 AM

rebirth sux cock.. doesnt sound like a 303

d16 phoscyon - for a more modded 303 sound

audiorealism bassline 2.10 for a true emulation.

Just get hold of all the software ones you can and see which suits you best mate.

I use Bassline for most of my acid tracks but recently i've been getting my head round the D16 Phoscyon.
I've never used Audiorealism for acid, infact i dont even think i've got it.

Has anyone got a download link for the Audiorealism 2.10 version?

Nice one.

not that i use much acid i actually like the cm303 quite a lot, try shoving it thru a manic distortion like quadrafuzz, turn the gain up and i've always found it gets results

**josephjobling** · 16-04-2008, 09:20 AM

cheers - i've tried a few plugins with it but non of mine improved it. i haven't got a quadrafuzz - where can i get it and how much.
think i am going to get the phocyon - its only 40 quid (bargin)

**josephjobling** · 16-04-2008, 11:21 AM

btw tried the cm303 through a different fuzz plug in but results not what i wanted - downloaded a demo of the phocyon and its sweet - i think i will buy this one.
only one problem could not find out how to assighn the midi controlls (some are pre set though) is this because its a demo version x

**AcidTrash** · 18-04-2008, 09:18 AM

phoscyon is very good. I have a tb303 clone which is about as close as you'll get because it used the same components and pcb and most of the time I wouldnt bother plugging it in because while its fun to play with the difference is really not much to write home about. It is just an analogue pulse generator. I certainly wouldn't spend £1500 on a tb303 even if I had it spare.. but in the end for lead lines I wouldn't swap the Arlsm bassline for anything.

This is something silly I did using only the emulator...

Nuffin in it. The legend of the TB303 is mostly a case of "emperors new clothes"

**josephjobling** · 19-04-2008, 12:31 AM

fair play - i have always wanted a tb303 and would buy it if i had 1500 quid to spare the i'd spend another grand and send it to devil fish then i would lock my self in the bdroom for a year. - i have now purchased the phohcyon and i love it cheers for all the advice.
one dilema i saw rythmtech's post on the d16 web site where they where dibating this very issue (but in an immature way) then rythmtech (the only one to make any sense) said that the ABL was better at the low end propper emulation and phoscyon was a better moded 303, so i think i will get the ABL in a few weeks aswell - not sure see how this one goes first.
but once again cheers for the sound advice - thats why i love this site.
