This is where Phoscyon scores over AudioRealism Bassline, because it takes this into account and provides a lot of the basic processing features out of the box giving an instant hit of "the 303 sound", whereas AudioRealism goes for out-and-out 303 emulation and leaves the rest to post-processing with insert and send effects at the user's discretion - less initial "wow factor", but the quality of the emulation is too close to call IMO.
#D16 phoscyon vs abl2 software
One example that is definitely a 303 (in fact 3 of them multitracked IIRC, along with an 808 and an Akai sampler) is Hardfloor's "Acperience 1" which is easily my favourite of the pioneering tracks.īut going back to the processing, in the early days it was a case of putting the 303's signal through a guitar distortion pedal (like a Boss DS-1 for example) and obviously later as these tracks moved out of bedroom and project studios and into the mainstream, a whole plethora of hardware and software studio gear. Wink's "Higher State Of Consciousness" is allegedly an MC-202 and many tracks are SH-101s. There is nothing quite like tweaking an acid line using real analogue pots, something 127 step value midi can't do so well :irazz:Īs usual, the advice here is impeccable - I think the only thing I'd add here is (and this is something I only learned over time since I started doing this stuff) is that what is frequently regarded as "the 303 sound" has as much to do with the processing the 303 is put through as the 303 itself, and in many cases isn't a 303 at all. The guy has gone to extraordinary lengths to get it to sound "just right" and sound comparisons I've heard bear witness to his efforts. If you want the real thing on the cheap (say £150), someone else mentioned the x0xb0x which is detailed on the link following. waiting patiently for Logic compatible AU release. it's a seriously awesome and very authentic sounding 303 style "analogue" squelch monster! One of the most analogue sounding soft synths I have heard (. The Sylenth1 from Lennar Digital does all this amazingly well in one box. I didn't know a distortion plugin could be so detailed, but this one is. The D16 Devastator plugin (from the same company that does the Phoscyon mentioned above) is a fantastic distortion unit. No fancy polyphony allowed!! but maybe run at least a couple of saw waves in unison mode with detune if you can for a wetter sound. You want the synth to be in single voice mode too i.e. high) and tracking the filter envelope via pitch, jumping +/- 1 octave with just the right portamento setting and a few tied notes is very helpful. and anyway these fancy have-as-many-as-you-like-plugins stay in tune waaaaaaay too much for a real analogue soundįor the essential acid squeal, setting resonance to self oscillation (i.e. usually the filters / oscillators just are not "wet" enough to sound authentic.
I've been trying to get a good 303 out of a few soft synths recently (mainly, Albino and FabFilter Twin) with reasonable success.
