BS-203 MacroAcidizer is the first virtual instrument from Born Second, and it offers a recreation of two Roland classics — the TB-303 and MC-202 — along with the Juteon Bassboy, a more modern homage to the original ‘acid machine’.
The new instrument offers three operating modes: Mode 303, which faithfully recreates an original TB-303; Mode 202, which offers the steeper envelope and brighter top end of the MR-202; and Mode BB, which covers the ‘nastier’ sound offered by the Juteon Bassboy. An onboard Acid Sequencer with a Randomize function allows users to quickly create basslines locked to major or minor scales, while offering detailed control over the likes of note length, density, time divisions and so on. There’s also a built-in effects section that offers a mixture of saturation, delay and reverb.
Compatibility
BS-203 MacroAcidizer is supported on PCs running Windows 10 or later, and Macs running macOS 11 and higher. VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available.
