Sometimes, you just have to stop and take stock of how far we’ve come. Nearly 20 years ago, Propellerhead Software released their software emulation of the legendary Roland TB-303, TR-808 and TR-909, called ReBirth. The software was a precursor to their Desktop Audio Workstation, Reason, and allowed a generation of bedroom producers to create the distinctive sounds of Acid House music, the acid squelch Now, some intrepid soul as a working version of the 303 and 909 in a browser.
Think about that. This is the future, man.
The app is a bit rough around the edges, and as the developer says on the page is “A work in progress web audio tool”, but the basic functions are all there, and with the “Randomize” [sic] function you’re ready to squelch your little heart out. Try it out. Waste some of your Friday afternoon. You deserve it, champ!
Bonus points: share your creations with the DJWORX community! It’s Friiiiiday!
Does it support VSTs?
Yes, and it works with VDJ and you can put an Innofader in it too.
Has it got split cue? Does it support DVS?
LOL
Yes and yes. It also runs on Numark NV screens. It won’t run on Traktor controllers though.
Thank you guys you made me laugh
I remember the Rebirth, man… some people made some really good tunes with that. I think the Rebirth is still free online here: http://www.rebirthmuseum.com Hopefully there’s a VST of it (or something like it), because I really like that sound. Acid House was fun, hopefully, we’ll see something come back around (that’s rooted in it) soon.
