OT 303 makes it super easy to get huge, screaming acid lines, chunky distorted bass and rolling riffs into your tracks. The simple main panel and easy-to-use sequencer allows you to get an acid line going in seconds. Enable the sequencer and hit 'Random' for an instant unique pattern, crank up the resonance and distortion and tweak or automate the cutoff. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5K1c6QYw7aM?si=r0-suNCiRJmhdYDs\" title=\"OT 303 acid synthesizer demo\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe spent a lot of time looking at squiggly lines and listening.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOT 303’s sound was developed through comparisons with the Roland’s TB-303, studying the waveforms, harmonics, filter response, envelopes and accents. The graphic below shows some of the comparisons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/2098\/2870\/files\/303_Comparison.png?v=1794057884\" alt=\"Selected OT 303 and Roland TB-303 software waveform comparisons\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet a pattern going\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in 32-step sequencer gives you independent accents and slides, editable note lengths and swing.

A couple of changes to the rhythm or accent placement can take the same notes somewhere quite different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork directly in your DAW’s piano roll, trigger a sequence by holding a MIDI note, or use DAW transport playback.

Keep the envelope short for a tight, percussive line, or open it up and let the notes run into each other. A sub oscillator adds weight underneath, with advanced sound controls for further adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd some drive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main drive section has six characters: 303 Drive, Tube, Bass OD, Diode, Hard Clip and Fuzz. Use a little to roughen up the sound, or push it harder for a more aggressive line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reorderable FX rack adds further distortion options alongside tempo-synced delay and reverb. Change the order, stack distortion stages or run the echoes through the drive. Delay and reverb ducking let you keep the notes clear without losing the space around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGive the sequence some movement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree editable curve modulators can control synth and effects parameters. Draw in a gradual filter change, a repeating rhythmic shape or variations in drive and effects.
