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

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."

Semi-Offtopic, but there's a nice alternative to Fruity Loops for Linux users...still in Beta, but:
http://lmms.sourceforge.net/

It's pretty good.

Anyways, I'll be sure to pick this one up.

Propellerhead did not remove copy protection

[Anonymous Coward]

Propellerhead made it free without having the sense to remove the copy protection. That's why you have to download a huge 500MB ISO instead of a 16MB application. The music gear website MusicThing has all the info on this.

Correction

[slashflood]

They are called Propellerhead (without the trailing 's') and there is also a small note over at O'Reilly. d-lusion is considering to release the source code and maybe a Linux version. There is a discontinued open source project, called Reborn.

ReBirth is awesome... Enjoy!

I bought ReBirth-338 a few years ago (1998 or 1999, I think) and was very impressed by it. It not only has a TB-303 emulator, it has two of them! Along with a TR-808 (w00t!) and a TR-909 (woo-hoo!!!) beat-boxes emulators, all in there.

It also has a simple, yet effective, sequencer for all the synthesizers, a few effects (distortion, delay, compression), and a nice Pattern Controlled Filter. In short, everything you need for swooping, hypnotic, techno tracks, or classic Freestyle Electro!

The first time I used it I was overwhelmed by the memories of DJ'ing back in the 80s.

Propellerheads, thanx for the memory trip, and the very cool software!!

Re:RubberDuck still have bundled spyware?

[slashflood]

Last time i checked out rubberduck is came bundled with adware / spyware... Does it still come with this?

There has never been spyware in Rubberduck and the "ad technology" has been removed in the free download version.

If you want to build your own hardware TB-303 clone (and plus some), check out Ladyada's open-source x0b0x kit. (cached). The documentation is excellent, even for a beginner builder. And, they've gone and painstakingly measured all the transistors from an original TB-303 to accurately recreate the sound. It's a steal at $300.
