The only real virtual TB303

Many clones are made but only AudioRealism let the wish of a real TB303 come true with the one on one emulation of the TB303 by the ABL2. Great and easy to work with and very flexible and staple of my several acid projects. It makes even things possible which can not be achieved by the real TB303. This plugin is addictive and gives enormous inspiration, thats why I made the last two years so many acid tracks and there are many more to come. If you cannot affort a real Roland TB303 this is your very best oportunity to get the real sound of the Roland TB303.

Worth the price

There are plenty of free VSTis out there that can somewhat approximate the sound of a 303, but nothing comes anywhere near as close as this. This plugin takes me back to my roots of producing with ReBirth, but with the addition of 17 years experience as a producer.
