| Roland set the house on fire in 1982 with the creation of the legendary TB-303. After 10,000 units, the fire cooled to a coal … and the TB-303 became the best-kept secret (and the hardest-to-find treasure) in the biz.
Sixteen years later, the flame flickeredforth again with the development of the homemade Acidlab TB-303 clone, called the Bassline 1.DJs put it to work, the sound and the groove brought the feet to the floor, and thepercussive public pounded out a demand: Build us a Bassline.
In 2006 Acidlab jimmied up the onboard sequencer for maximum ease-of-play, and the Bassline2 burst into being.
The basics: The AcidlabBassline2 is a monophonic bass synth with a MIDI-clock-synchronized sequencer. The analog audio circuitryreplicates the unique TB303 sound box, and the intuitive sequencer control interface makes on-the-fly creativity … well … fly.
The good audio doctors at Acidlabaren’t chilling on the Bassline2’s success, though … they’ve cooked up the Bombass–the ultimate mono bass synth. They’ve tricked out a virtual TB303 with just about every mod ever mounted: … 2 VCOs, ring modulation, oscillator-sync, sub-octave-oscillator, noise, VCLFO, LFO-reset, filter FM … you gotta hear it to believe it. Then, you’re gonna have to own it.
