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."

    Yah boo sucks to Propellerheads; when someone tried to make a Linux version of rebirth, out came the lawyers.

  2. Is it too much to ask - by crucini · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is it too much to ask that closed source, Windows-only software be labelled as such in the story? Not to sound like an ungrateful curmudgeon, but is slashdot going to put every piece of Windows-only closed source freeware on the front page?

    I have mixed feelings about the boom in analog synths/emulators. 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.

    In theory, this kind of software could enable a hundred Vince Clarkes - in practice I don't see any. Any suggestions?
