SOME FLASHY REBIRTH-338 MODIFICATIONS
Here it is...The propellerhead 303/808 emulator....Brought to you by those Swedes who programmed "Re-Cycle"....
This demo version is totally disabled, even in terms of saving patterns......So as it also has a maximum 30 minutes run-time before closing, you'll have to work fast to create a pattern, record it over to your sampler or DAT, then try it in a track.....All this led to the unusuallll link "down bottom" of this page. The full version will export/record direct to .WAV or AIFF file
Basically you get two 303's and an 808.....they all programme the same as the real ones, and each virtual unit has it's own volume fader, accompanied by a "Distortion" switch, and a delay & pan control..... You then have a master Delay & Distortion control to set the overall amount of each effect.
In practice, the visual moving LED seems about a bar behind the audio, and the 303's are as faithfully cryptic to programme as the real thing...... The main problem for me, is that in trying to make it look like the real thing, they have actually sacrificed some usability, as the controls for adjusting the filters etc are so small, that it's tricky to grab one quickly & tweak it.... also, you obviously can't tweak two parameters at the same time....As i said, hopefully the controls will be tweakable via controller data in the final release.
Well, so far by adding the special midi drivers from the Propellorheads site, I have managed to get it to clock to midi.....it runs ok, once you've got the settings tweaked right.......However, the drivers seemed to play havoc with the rest of my midid system, overiding sysex commands to the DB50XG synth etc....all a bit wierd....I think I'll have to try a few more experiments, but my general impression is, it's best used by streaming the audio to disk, then slotting the audio into a H/Disk track with the midi programme.
Anyhow...get it downloaded...cos it sounds well cool...This really DOES sound like a 303....absolutely spot-on !!!......And you too can have loads of fun trying to work out how to programme a 303 !!!......This is real coooool software shipmates !!! GET IT FROM MY DOWNLOAD PAGE...
