Roland TB-303

Vintage or Discontinued similar sound

The Behringer TD-3 does a better job of replicating the original 303’s sound, and has reinvigorated the Acid House movement on social media, since it delivers the famed acid sound in a much more affordable package. FutureMusic has been incorporating the original TB-303, the TB-03 and the TD-3 in a head-to-head comparison for the last few months and we have to salute Behringer for doing what Roland wouldn’t during Ikutaro Kakehashi’s tenure (aka “Mr. K” 1930-2017) as head of the concern. In fact, if Roland would have released something very similar to the TD-3 during the early nineties, not only would they have eliminated every single clone that emerged following the deficit in the marketplace, but they would have swelled their coffers, potentially fueling R&D into other music technologies.
