Acid, with the 303 as a staple sound, became popular worldwide, particularly as part of the UK's emerging rave culture known as the second summer of love. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, as new acid styles emerged, the TB-303 was often overdriven, producing a harsher sound, such as on Hardfloor's 1992 EP "Acperience" and Interlect 3000's 1993 EP "Volcano".

The Roland TB-303 Bass Line is a bass synthesizer released by Roland Corporation in 1981.
10,000 units were manufactured. "Rip It Up", by the Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice, which reached #8 in the UK singles chart in February 1983, was the first UK top 10 hit to feature the 303. Another early use of a TB-303 (in conjunction with a TR-808 drum machine) is Indian musician Charanjit Singh's 1982 album Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat.

Designed to simulate bass guitars, it was a commercial failure and was discontinued in 1984.
It was discontinued in 1984, and Roland sold off remaining units cheaply.
This became the foundation of "Acid Tracks", which was released in 1987 and created the acid genre.
