Anton Lyubenov Savov aka Antto has released version 1.0 of Venom VB-303, a free synthesizer instrument for Windows.
The Venom VB-303 is an approximation of the classic 303 Bass Line synthesizer.
I don’t want to delay this any longer. I disabled some functions because they are not vital and were a little broken: .303 file import/export and pattern manipulators are disabled. MidiPlay mode has an annoying lock to encourage you to use the sequencer more often.
A huge thanks to you KVR people, for your patience, help, and feedback.
Venom VB-303 is available to download for Windows (VST).
