The Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine (DB9), released around 1994, is a British-made analog monophonic bass synthesizer designed as a MIDI-controlled alternative to the Roland TB-303. Housed in a 1U rackmount unit, it features a single voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) offering sawtooth and square waveforms, and a 24 dB/octave low-pass filter—differing from the TB-303's 18 dB/octave filter—which contributes to its deeper, warmer sound character . The front panel provides ten dedicated knobs for parameters such as tuning, cutoff frequency, resonance, envelope modulation, decay, accent, and a hidden glide function. Notably, the accent effect is controlled via MIDI note velocity, influencing both filter frequency and amplitude . While the DB9 lacks onboard patch memory and a sequencer, it compensates with MIDI control capabilities and a built-in CV/Gate converter, allowing integration with pre-MIDI gear . Despite initial marketing as a TB-303 clone, the DB9 has been recognised for its unique sonic qualities, offering thick, full bass tones that sit well in a mix, making it a valuable tool for electronic music producers seeking a distinctive analog bass sound
