Roland Tb 303 Software Mac Download

ReBirth RB-338 is a software synthesizer for Microsoft Windows,^[1]Mac OS 8-9^[2] and iOS for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.^[3] It was developed by Propellerhead Software, and its first alpha version (for Mac OS) was publicly released in December 1996. Propellerhead Software ceased developing the original program in January 1999. Support for desktop versions was officially discontinued in September 2005. Shortly afterward, the ReBirth Museum Web site was launched and the last desktop version's (2.0.1) disk image was made available as a free download. Propellerhead Software continues to develop other software relating to dance-oriented computer-based music composition, including Reason, its flagship software synthesizer, as well as portable 'app' versions of ReBirth.

Features[edit]

ReBirth^[4] emulates two Roland TB-303 synthesizers and a Roland TR-808 since v1.0,^[5] and also a Roland TR-909drum machine since v2.0.^[6] All emulations can be used simultaneously. Each of the emulated devices has its own pattern selector, a feature the original devices are lacking. This allows fast switches between different musical sequences, and re-programming the TB-303 for playing different notes, for instance, is rendered unnecessary. This feature has been adopted in some of Reason's devices. ReBirth also features mixers, a pattern controlled filter (PCF) and some of the standard effects in software synthesizers like delay, compressor and distortion.
The program also supports user modifications, which may replace the samples in the drum machine emulations and modify the GUI.^[7] There are four modifications included in the ReBirth installation by default (though the default ReBirth GUI seems to count as a modification as well).

The virtual knobs and controls can be assigned to physical counterparts via MIDI, so knobs, modulation wheels, faders and other performance controls available on keyboards and modules can be used to shape the software sound.^{[8][9][10][11]}

Critical reception[edit]

ReBirth was an early software synthesizer, pioneering this class of instruments along with Cubase, Cakewalk, Digital Performer, and Reality in 1997,^[12] with a low-CPU-utilization,^[13] leading the PC software market, with the low specs of then cutting-edge computers. The sound quality during live playback (as opposed to saving the generated sound to disk), assuming that the CPU could cope with the sampling rate, was imposed by the quality of the sound card.

Some enthusiasts have criticized ReBirth's software emulation of the TB-303 as being an inferior copy of the genuine sound. Such criticism is common to many software synths that emulate analog synthesis (which the TB-303 featured), due to the reputedly inimitable sound of analog synthesis, and quality degraded by low-end sound cards. Despite this, Roland contacted Propellerhead Software to give it an unofficial thumbs up, which Propellerhead considered to be the Roland seal of approval.^[14]

Free download[edit]

As of September 2005, support for ReBirth was discontinued by Propellerhead software, and the software became available online^[15] as a free download^[16] until 2016,^[17] however, Propellerhead's torrent continues to be working.^[18][19]

iPhone and iPad[edit]

In April 2010, ReBirth was re-released^[20][21] as a paid app^[22] for the iPhone^[23] and iPod Touch. In November 2010 a visually revamped and modernized version was made available on the iPad.^[24][25]

Propellerhead disabled ReBirth For iOS On 1 June 2013.^{[26][27][28][29]} The app was officially removed from the App Store on 15 June 2017, following an official claim from Roland of intellectual property infringement.^[30]

The Roland TB-303 Bass Line is a synthesizer released by the Roland Corporation in 1982. Designed to simulate bass guitars, it was a commercial failure and was discontinued in 1984. However, cheap second-hand units were adopted by electronic musicians, and its 'squelching' or 'chirping' sound became a foundation of electronic dance music genres such as house and techno. It has inspired numerous clones.

Features[edit]

The TB-303 was designed by Tadao Kikumoto, who also designed the Roland TR-909 drum machine.^[1] It was marketed as a 'computerised bass machine' to replace the bass guitar.^[2] However, according to Forbes, it instead produces a 'squelchy tone more reminiscent of a psychedelic mouth harp than a stringed instrument'.^[3]

The TB-303 has a single oscillator, which produces either a 'buzzy' sawtooth wave or a 'hollow-sounding' square wave.^[3] This is fed into a 24dB^[4]low-pass filter, which is manipulated by an envelope generator.^[2] Users program notes and slides using a built-in sequencer.^[3]

Impact and legacy[edit]

Roland Tb 303 Vst

The 303's unrealistic sound made it unpopular with its target audience, musicians who wanted to replace bass guitars. It was discontinued in 1984,^[5] and Roland sold off remaining units cheaply.^[3]

The Chicago group Phuture bought a cheap 303 and began experimenting.^[3][4] By manipulating the synthesizer as it played, they created a unique 'squelching, resonant and liquid sound'.^[3] This became the foundation of 'Acid Tracks', which was released in 1987 and created the acid genre.^[3] Acid, with the 303 as a staple sound, became popular worldwide, particularly as part of the UK's emerging rave culture known as the second summer of love.^[3][4]

'Rip It Up', by the Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice, which reached #8 in the UK singles chart in February 1983, was the first UK top 10 hit to feature the 303.^[6] Another early use of a TB-303 (in conjunction with a TR-808 drum machine) is Indian musician Charanjit Singh's 1982 album Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat. It remained obscure until the early 21st century, and is now recognized as a kind of proto-acid, though the originators of acid-house had never heard it..^[7]

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, as new acid styles emerged, the TB-303 was often overdriven, producing a harsher sound, such as on Hardfloor's 1992 EP 'Acperience' and Interlect 3000's 1993 EP 'Volcano'.^[8] In other instances the TB-303 was distorted and processed, such as on Josh Wink's 1995 hit 'Higher State of Consciousness'.^[4][9]

As only 10,000 303 units were manufactured, the popularity of acid caused a dramatic increase in the price of used units.^[3] According to the Guardian, as of 2014, units sold for over £1,000.^[10] In 2011, the Guardian listed the release of the TB-303 as one of the 50 key events in the history of dance music.^[5] It has inspired numerous clones.^[11] In 2014, Roland released the TB-03, a synthesizer emulating TB-303 circuitry.^[12]
