TB-303 Give-Aways from Propellerheads and d-lusion

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-school-like-the-old-school dept.

slashflood writes "Good news for those of you who are into music synthesizers: Propellerheads has opened its Rebirth Museum and gives away the 'revolutionary' software simulation of the classic Roland TB-303. Interestingly, that happened just a day after the small German company d-lusion released another 'legendary' TB-303 simulator called Rubberduck as a free give-away."

  1. Greatest user feedback comments ever! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny
    Wish more companies were brave enough to post user comments like these:

    User feedback was overwhelming, ranging from "the door-bending bass response makes rebirths 303 section sound like a touch tone device" to "fucking brilliant" and the most famous quote which says it all: "it is like fucking a hot hollywood bitch for the price of a corner crack slut".

      There could still be cool templates in spreadsheets. Like how many hoes Snoop Dogg had calculated from his record sales.

    When the technology was rare and expensive, it was used to create awesome catchy, melodic, intelligent pop (80's). Now that it's cheap and ubiquitous, it's used to make depressingly boring, repetitive, deeply lazy music.

    Go to hell you elitist twat.

    Should we ban paintbrushes because someone other than Picasso or Michelangelo might pick one up and paint something that offends your exquisitely developed taste. How about pens? Should we get rid of those too, just in case someone draws something you don't like? While we're getting rid of the instruments, you probably should go to guitar center and burn the cheap guitars and keyboards....why, any idiot with fingers might be tempted to pick one up and learn to hammer out something that isn't...80's pop???

    Hey, about we lock up the computers too so brainless numbskulls can't engage in self-congratulatory forum masturbation.

    Hand over the keyboard, douche.

    Thanks.

    Okay, normally I wouldn't have cared about this, but the SIDstation mod had me sold. For that I even gave them one of my e-mail addesses and told them that my post code was 31337.

    There just ain't nothing like the sound of a MOS Technologies SID.

    If you download Rebirth and want to hear what it can do, listen to "A Taste of Haste" in the demo songs folder (because I wrote it and therefore it is good).

    When you're up to your eye balls in MDMA, what you call depressingly boring, repetitive, deeply lazy music just happens to be the best music in existance.

    This is why it's so popular!
