Propellerhead Software unveils its latest creation, the ReBirth RB-338 Techno Micro Composer. The problem is that the original items have not been manufactured since the mid 80's, and second hand units command astronomical prices. Furthermore, the original designs use old analog technology which makes them fragile and hard to integrate into a modern studio environment. The units all operate in real time, just like their physical counterparts. For all practical purposes, the program replaces thousands of dollars worth of second hand equipment.
Music is built by creating and editing patterns, which are then chained together to complete songs.
All front panel actions can be recorded and fully automated on playback. The TB-303 has been the subject of many myths, most of them related to its sound. The most spectacular achievement of ReBirth RB-338 is that it provides an exact emulation of the 303 sonic character. Rather, it is a complete software implementation based on a mathematical model of the actual 303, engineered from the ground up after extensive research into the sound of the original unit. It is easily integrated into any studio setup since it synchronizes to standard MIDI clock signals.
