Roland TB-303 Emulator?

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a free TB-303 plug in for logic? i used to use a free version on my PC that came with computer music magazine but after recently switching to logic found out it doesn't support VST.

thanks for your help.

the EM1 is good. emagic designed it deliberately around the sound of the 303.
You should wikipedia "tb-303" though, one of the unique features of that instrument is the accent function.

Also, propellorhead's rebirth is just plain classic (and I think it runs on osx...? don't quote me on that)

Audio Realism Bassline is a good software instrument that I use. Interface is just like the TB-303 but has some additional features as well.

There is a demo on their site as well and it is reasonably inexpensive.

No offence, but the EM (or ES1, whichever) sounds nothing like the 303. If that's what Emagic we're going for then ouch. 🙂

Bass Line is very good, and has just been updated to include swing.
This: http://www.d16.pl/index.php?menu=10 is what your CM plugin was based on, but it's still VST only, and no VST-AU wrappers currently work with Leopard 😟

I agree about the ES M (as opposed to EM-1 [believe that's Korg)
I remember from perhaps the logic 7 manual about them comparing it to a 303. I'd also go as far to say, FWIW, if it weren't for the Roland TB-303, would Emagic have designed the ES M? I doubt.

I like this audiorealism stuff though. It'd be cool to have a real 303, but these emulations are pretty slick....

( 303 = Always a good topic on any forum) 🙂
