I had two goes at playing with the emulator that Marc pointed to. The first sounded better, but I didn’t record it.
This is the second, multi-tracked with delay & reverb, also mixed with an ambient improv performed on Audiobulb’s ambient v.3 as well as some twiddly bits cut out and pasted on after being soaked in various vst effects plugins.
I’m fairly certain that the good people at Roland would have expected something closer to real music to come out of their devices, so I guess this fits the assignment.
----------------------------------------------
Pay tribute to the Roland 303 by doing something that is apart from how you think it was intended to be utilized.
Step 1: This is the 303rd weekly Disquiet Junto project since the series of compositional prompts was founded the first week of January 2012. Naturally, we’re paying tribute to the Roland TB-303.
Step 2: If you have a TB-303, well, congrats to you. If you (likely) don’t, consider one of the various emulators that have come out for it, or just pay tribute to it by other means. There are a variety of emulations out there, including this one:

There’s also, of course, Roland’s own tribute, the TB-3.
Step 3: Record a short piece of music that is somehow apart from how you think the 303 was intended to be utilized.
