The pre-acid 303 was used as the bass sound on 80s smooth-soul merchants Imagination’s hits “Body Talk” & “Just An Illusion” from 1982. You can hear them make good use of the glide, doing an imitation of the then-in-vogue fretless bass slide, but alas no filter-tweaking.

I think that Oscar probably realized what these were all about (even if Roland didn’t), as he’s pretty hip to synths. Taken from his website:

“Since the early 1980′s, Oscar has embraced electronic music wholeheartedly in that the tools help him to compose, and especially orchestrate, more quickly and effectively than traditional methods. Oscar has, in his home, a state of the art recording studio and music room that accommodates his keyboards, synthesizers, sequencers and computers, all for the purpose of creating more music.”
