The best deal celebrating 303 Day came from TB-303 Bass Line maker Roland itself, when it gave away 3,030 licence keys for its TB-303 software version. Naturally, those went pretty quickly, but fortunately, there are still some residual 303 deals kicking around at Plugin Boutique which you can take advantage of for a limited time.

First up, you can save a mighty cool 84 per cent on Audio Blast’s Abx3 soft synth, which takes inspiration from the legendary TB-303.

While commercial failure during its initial production run between 1981 and 1984 – owing partly to its somewhat unrealistic take on natural bass sound – remaining units were sold off cheaply by Roland and subsequently snapped up by electronic musicians and producers. Its sound became a staple in EDM genres like acid house, Chicago house and techno.
