there's gotta be somethin' close to the classic tb303 sound in the virus b right? what are you using to get there? is there a pre-set that's a good place to start? i can't seem to nail this one like i want. the nasalbass sounds a little too rugged. what do you think?

A 303 has:

1 osc
an 18db filter
AD filter envelope

so to do a 303 on the virus:

use a single oscillator, either saw or square (crank the osc balance all the way to OSC 1 and don't use a sub-osc)

select serial 6 pole filter mode, and crank the filter balance all the way to filter 1
use filter saturation, I normall use medium or hard for 303 type sounds.

throw the sustain on the filter enevlope to 0. Use a short attack , and decay to taste.

A big part of the 303 sound is the accent and slide. I usually do this with velocity mapped to filter env amount, or filter 1 cutoff in the mod matrix, then while sequencing use like 32 for non-accented velocity values and 127 for accented. You can vary all this to taste. Slide is done with portamento. So a big part of copping the 303 is in the sequencing, not necessarily in the sound programming.

BTW - I have a Virus A, so some of the parameters may appear a little different on your machine.

Go to the Access site. They have a free downloadable book on synth programming which goes into 303 noises in some detail.

Its called Programming Analog Synths

Virus does really good overdriven squawks, but I don't think it does all that great a job on the cleaner, square wave stuff.

Anyways.. Get a FR-777 and be happy if you're a 303 nut
