ReBirth

Veracohr	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 1:34 AM Propellerheads' first program called ReBirth, which is a software emulation of the Roland TB-303, TR-808 and TR-909 has been discontinued by the company. Propellerheads makes Reason. They have announced their discontinuation of development (including, unfortunately, a Mac OSX version) and support. But on the other hand, they now offer ReBirth as a free download. Thank god for small businesses! http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/

Veracohr	Date: September 5, 2005 @ 2:13 AM They are a small business actually. Reason may have sold quite a bit, but the company is only 23 people at the moment (according to their website.) Sure, Reason has more capability, but there's nothing in it that can do a decent 303 emulation. I've only used the ReBrith demo so far, but I couldn't really figure it out very well. One thing that bugs me about it is that you can't play it from MIDI. You have to use the pattern sequencer/wateverthingy that ReBirth has. But I've downloaded it, and hopefully I can figure it out enough to use it. I've wanted a 303 for a long time.
monkvolcano	Date: September 6, 2005 @ 12:07 PM can't play a 303 from midi either.. rebirth is a very accurate reproduction.. you should try asigning all the cuttoff, res, env, and volume faders to a midi controler, and you can select patterns with your computer keyboard.. great for making live acid music... just like the real thing
phccn	Date: September 12, 2005 @ 1:29 PM neat! i remember using rebirth when i was first getting into computer music. great to see its free now. the 808/909/303 combination is still popular the hardware world. its neat cuz you can just hit "record" and adjust everything pattern by pattern. then you could just export each instrument individually and load it into your seq plus every 303 emu i've tried sounds like shit compared to rebirth
