Roland Boutique TB-03 Bass Line

Development of a Classic

The Roland Boutique TB-03 Bass Line, inspired by the iconic TB-303 Bass Line Synth, uses Roland's advanced Analog Circuit Behavior to replicate the authentic sound and character of the original TB-303. The TB-03 provides efficient control options including a four-digit LED display for enhanced programming and rotary dials to give hands-on control over tuning, cutoff, resonance, envelop mod, decay, and accent. The original TB-303 featured pitch and time write modes, however the TB-03 goes a step further and interprets a new step-mode and fine tempo control to give you more convenient access to the controls that you need most.

Increased Versatility

The Roland Boutique TB-03 Vocoder also functions as a high-quality 24-bit/96 kHz audio interface to provide a simple and effective way of recording straight to your DAW. With a choice of USB or battery power, the TB-03 functions just as well on the road as in the studio. 4 x AA batteries provide the TB-03 with sufficient power, or alternatively you can connect to a USB power source to utilise USB bus power.

Roland Boutique TR-09 Rhythm Composer

Advanced Analog Circuit Behaviour

The Roland TR-09 features a choice of either Step and Tap write modes, with support for shifting between modes during pattern playback. The TR-09 sequencer has 16 steps, each with 16 sub-steps for tweaking your performances so that they are right for you. Just like the original, the TR-09 allows you to select Shuffle/Flam with dedicated buttons, however a display with a rotary encoder is also provided for more precise control over your patterns. Roland have used their new advanced Analog Circuit Behaviour to offer the most realistic, classic recreation of the original sounds from the TR-909 to enable users to experience the influential sounds whilst retaining the ability to edit and tweak multiple parameters.

Versatile Connection of External Gear

The Roland Boutique TR-09 is designed to provide easy and effective connection with external gear, featuring many multi-purpose outputs including a main stereo mini-jack output which can be configured to send the selected instrument to the right channel, while the other instruments output can be sent to the left. The USB and MIDI ports allow for syncing and controlling other gear as well as connection with your DAW. Mix input and trigger output can also be reconfigured to route external audio and even drive vintage analogue synths, enabling you to harness a broader scope of audio possibilities whilst working with your TR-09.

Roland Boutique VP-03 Vocoder

Voice Step Sequencer

The Roland Boutique VP-03 Vocoder features a new Voice Step Sequencer (not present with the original VP-330) which provides you with 16 steps to input a single note, chord, or even your own voice, with each step comprising up to six notes. You can then go further to adjust the order of the steps within the sequence to create an unpredictable sequence with unique rhythms. USB connectivity allows you to save your favourite sequences to your computer using the backup and restore function.

External Microphone Connection

The Roland VP-03 features a full-size XLR Mic input for connection of an external microphone device, however a gooseneck XLR microphone is included with the VP-03 to allow you to capture voices and sounds to filter and shape the onboard synthesized sounds. Other available I/O includes standard MIDI IN/OUT ports and a Micro-B USB connection that handles both audio and MIDI data. These can be used for connecting external gear of your choice.

There are 16 available locations so you can quickly and easily restore your favourite chords using one of the 16 built-in step buttons.
