I did SO much with Rebirth-338 back in the day. Its emulation wasn't so bad.

I've tried getting it to run on Windows 10, but even after all the hacks I could find online, it just doesn't run quite right. It was made in the era of 800x600 resolutions. And even though there's a pixel-doubling patch available, it looks like hot garbage.

Even still, this was a huge part of my music experimentation phase of life. (My youth)



I played with Rebirth on and off pretty much since it's been around and my opinion is that its sound is an homage to the real 303, at best. The spirit is certainly there but it's hard to make Rebirth sound exactly like a real 303 or hardware clones. I haven't played with any of the newer (as in, made in the last 15 years or so) 303 software implementations but I would suspect most of them are more faithful recreations.


There is a free VST version of Reason that includes the RB-338 core


Hey that's really cool! I'll have to poke around for that.


The original 16-bit version will run in Wine without any additional patching, but I'm not sure what options that would give you for resolution problems.
