CHOMPI Club Joining Chase Bliss


Chase Bliss – maker of high-end effects pedals – has announced that CHOMPI Club, the makers of the CHOMPI sampler, are joining their team.

The CHOMPI is currently sold out, but a new version is in the plans.

Here’s what Chase has to say about it:

  1. Nothing changes for now – All support (questions, repairs, etc.) are being handled by CHOMPI Club as usual, the Discord is still active, and CHOMPI Club are continuing to work on resources and ways to make the CHOMPI sampler even better.
  2. This isn’t the end of the CHOMPI Club, they’re just combining resources.
  3. There will be more CHOMPI – They’re working on another run of the CHOMPI sampler, and it will have some firmware surprises (available for free to existing CHOMPI customers). These will be sold through the Chase Bliss website. The new run is expected to be available later this year.
  4. Chase Bliss will take over support – Once the next batch of CHOMPI goes up for sale, Chase Bliss will take over support of the device. This means CHOMPI owners will now have international support. This will apply to all existing and future CHOMPI owners.

‘Happy 303 Day’ Roland Is Offering Free TB-303 Software Bass Line, But Limited to 3,030 Copies – Everybody Needs A 303, Act fast!


It is 3 March, also known, to Roland as 303 Day, and to celebrate the company is giving away free licenses for its official TB-303 plugin via Roland Cloud. You will need to be quick in claiming yours though, as the company is limiting the offer to a maximum of 3,030 downloads.

The original TB-303 hardware launched in 1981, is one of the most iconic synthesizers of all time.

Roland’s plugin version, TB-303 Software Bass Line, was released via the company’s Cloud subscription service on 303 Day 2019. The TB-303 Software Bass Line takes the classic instrument to the next level. Utilizing Analog Circuit Behavior modeling, the virtual TB-303 captures the original hardware’s hypnotic tone and perfectly complements the TR-909 and other classic Roland instruments. With its single oscillator, resonant low pass filter and basic envelope, but adds a few additional flourishes, including a Condition parameter, delay and distortion effects, are a big part of the signature acid sound.

The plugin also redesigns the notoriously awkward sequencer of the original units, which makes programming patterns considerably easier without losing the esoteric elements that contribute to the character of the 303.

You can grab a copy of the software 303 by signing up at the Roland official site. The offer is open until 12pm PST on 10 March or when all 3,030 copies have been claimed, so if you’re tempted we’d suggest making your move now.

Alongside the giveaway, Roland is also celebrating 303 Day with a quartet of online tutorials: Mastering the TB-303 Sequencer in Roland Cloud, Beyond Acid: Pushing the TB-303 into New Sonic Territory, and deep dives on classic 303 cuts Song of Life by Leftfield and Praise You by Fatboy Slim.
