Hello everyone,

The jury has made its decision, and it wasn’t an easy one.
In the end, we selected https://www.audiotool.com/user/trottcrack_gmail_com/ ’s track https://www.audiotool.com/track/n0cy625o/ , a melodic and atmospheric piece with a hint of classic trance spirit and a generous dose of 303.

**Congratulations to Lavalamp! **

Please let us know your preferred color for the Behringer TD-3 prize, along with your shipping address.

Once again, thanks to everyone who joined in.

Original Post

Worldwide, the TB 303 community celebrates the device that left a mark on electronic music. Create a track in the new Studio with a clear Bassline-3 lead for a chance to win a Behringer TD-3-MO SR.

Produce your track here: https://beta.audiotool.com/studio

How this contest works

*Produce your track in the new Studio

*Export it using DOWNLOAD
*Upload it to the old Studio as a sample
*Publish it as a track
*Submit it by March 20, 2026 → https://www.audiotool.com/contest/303_day_create_a_bassline-3_track_in_the_new_studio
*Invite a-records to the project in the new Studio and post the link in the description of the submitted track.

Good news: If programming the 303 felt complex, the new Studio lets you play the device directly via the Note Region.

We are curious to hear what you make.

What do you mean by central role? Do you mean it has to sound the most prominent, or do we have to use it as much as possible?

good idea nephew😎

Both works. If it doesn't sound the most prominent you should at least use it as much as possible.

That's really early :) No extension planned yet. Sorry

2026-03-04 22:02 · 2026-03-04

try to combinate note and pattern track playing at the same time. Leads to cool effects

2026-03-04 23:36 · 2026-03-04

Is there a rule for presets or synths?

2026-03-04 23:41 · 2026-03-04

Also, do we NEED to use the beta studio, my computer cannot run it very well.

a-records · reply
2026-03-05 07:34 · 2026-03-05

The only rule in this regard is that Bassline 3 must clearly play the main role. Other synths and also samples under the known copyright rules are allowed.

Sorry, but this contest is set up in the new studio, so it needs to be used. However, please help us improve compatibility if you're having problems running it on your computer, let us know a few details about the issue so we can look into it. https://tally.so/r/mD87Pp

using a notetrack for the 303 feels cursed

2026-03-10 23:32 · 2026-03-10

Right
I was like hell yeah (ew)
I man hell yeah (but uhh.. no)
That is so convenient (...but the point was the opposite)

2026-03-10 23:33 · 2026-03-10

W0Oah it can do that now?
Awesome.

Snad Breugen · reply
2026-03-11 07:19 · 2026-03-11

Most virtual versions allow it. Including the Roland VST

2026-03-11 08:35 · 2026-03-11

the note track system is a lot more intuitive now imo, for the best part of me being here I did not know how to use the 303 LOL

great change, might try! :)

JayFK · reply
2026-03-11 11:05 · 2026-03-11

It doesn't play polyphon but you can create your notes in the note track and then set notes on the bassline-3 and it will break the playing note from the note track.
Not easy to explain :-)

yito ☮ · reply
2026-03-11 11:21 · 2026-03-11

I mean, considering how rarely I've used it in the past, and if, I just put a pulv through the input, this is a gamechanger.

2026-03-11 12:16 · 2026-03-11

The deadline is being moved back by three days, to March 20.

There were some temporary outages of the new studio due to work on our side, but these have now been resolved.

We look forward to your submissions.

i noticed some odd quirks when having two note tracks on the same instrument with notes that started at the same time but ended at different times

itdoi · reply
2026-03-11 20:46 · 2026-03-11

see my most recent song for said quirks (it kinda sounds like a rasselbock lol)

OH MY GOD UIRYEI YFDUGBDW YES

2026-03-14 19:40 · 2026-03-14

would a voice be considered a lead? most of the instruments consists of 303, but the song im working on has vocals

2026-03-14 20:13 · 2026-03-14

Alright I've got a question: if you win, do you get to pick the color? Cuz that yellow one on sweetwater lookin pretty fire

Snad Breugen · reply
2026-03-14 20:34 · 2026-03-14

Yes, the winner can pick the Color

2026-03-14 20:34 · 2026-03-14

A 303 track with vocals is cool

ngjmh = sound i make when i eat a cake

2026-03-18 15:12 · 2026-03-18

can I add anything like drums or is it JUST 303?

Snad Breugen · reply
2026-03-18 16:10 · 2026-03-18

You can add drums and other elements, but the 303 should play the main role.

2026-03-19 14:48 · 2026-03-19

huh... so a challenge for me? Challenge accepted. Right in time for spring break too.

2026-03-19 15:37 · 2026-03-19
