User reviews

Sorry, just a bad 303

I tried all TB-303-clones and even have a real one, but this is the worst of all. While the sound is okay, you can just create patterns randomly. It has no delay and no reverb.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! When we developed TV3, our goal was to create an acid machine capable of generating bass lines quickly and easily, without the need of much input. Since it also functions as an AUv3 plugin, we initially intended for FX processing to be handled externally by the host. However, we are always listening to user feedback and love updating our apps to make them even better. We'll try to explore the possibility of adding built-in FX in the future ☺️

Colorful Acid without the sequencing stress

Super fun to just generate a random pattern, but works well with traditional MIDI sequencing too. I’ve got a 303 hardware clone but for something quick, this app is hard to beat. Great variety of sounds too. Plus I love the smiley face dude, he’s my hero.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review! We’re glad you’re enjoying TV3 and that it’s helping you in your creative process. We hope the smiley dude adds some extra coolness to your sessions 😎

no Audio Recording

Useless thing. Can‘t be used as AU or within a sequencer. Can not record audio. It is not for musicians. VERY dissspointed!

Response from developer

TV3 can be used either as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plugin. Are you having trouble loading it inside a specific app? While it can’t record audio, it can generate basslines with a single click, and you can also export the MIDI for those basslines. And it is definitely made for musicians, by musicians. If you’re having issues loading the AUv3 version, please reach out to us through our website so we can assist you further. Best regards

Solid acid synth

Decent sounding synth! I was surprised there’s no pattern support or sequence editing (a la Pure Acid), just MIDI pattern export. It’s early days but a stripped back/focused 303 bass sequencer like Rosetta Bassline/Pure Acid would be an awesome addition.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review! With TV3, we aimed to keep things as simple and immediate as possible—allowing users to create great basslines with minimal interaction. That said, we’re always open to new ideas and improvements, and a built-in sequencer would definitely make TV3 even better. Let’s see if we can find the time to make it happen in the future! Thank you for your support 😊
