Hobnox Audiotools is not a new thing, apparently, but it was news to me when I bumped into it earlier today. Imagine running a Korg Tenori-On, a Roland TB-303, a TR-808 and a TR-909 with FX units… in your web browser. I know, it’s insane!

But Hobnox has really done it. They’ve created passable emulations of Roland’s legendary boxes and made them run on Adobe Flash. I fooled around with Audiotools for a while and was utterly amazed by how well the whole thing works. Sure, the sound glitches sometimes when you twiddle the knobs etc. but that’s to be expected, I’d say.

Head on over to Audiotools and have a blast.
