Spectralhead Audio has released SilverBox, a VST
instrument plug-in for Windows based on RolandÆs
legendary TB-303.

HereÆs what they told us about it, ôAt the beginning
of the 80s, a new bass synth appeared on the market.
Aimed at bass-guitarists, it featured an in-built
sequencer with slides and accents. Only about a
decade later did it become one of the most popular
instruments in certain styles of acid, techno, house
and trance music. Since that, numerous copies and
software and hardware emulations have been born,
which all try to grasp the character of this
wonderful synth. We did our best to reincarnate this
instrument as an authentic-sounding, convenient and
easy-to-use VSTi plug-in. Countless hours were spent
on analysis and measurements, with the goal of making
the most-authentic sounding emulation. As a result of
the research, SilverBox was born, 25 years after the
creation of the machine.ö
