The TB-303 of reference to me is still Jeskola TB-303 :) Back in my day of the demoscene and Buzz... demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2kl-CW9snU https:/

  Jeskola Buzz has a pretty interesting back story: >The development of the core program, buzz.exe, was halted on October 5, 2000, when the developer lost the source code to the program. It was announced in June 2008 that development would begin again, eventually regaining much of the functionality.

    Sounds like a real bad day.

      Yeah it was pretty spectacular. The author was a bit paranoid, had never shared his sources with anyone or backed them up anywhere or version controlled them to a remote SVN server or anything like that. And then his hard drive failed and Buzz development was over. IIRC there even was a community-organized crowdfunding campaign to fund some fancy data recovery company to try and revive the hard drive so he could get the sources back (not sure if this ever turned out happening).

        Would someone be able to use any of the modern reversing programs on the exe to get something?

          Some of that was done at the time to build the new Buzz. (I was around at that time and a heavy Buzz user)

  This brings back memories. Buzz is how I got my start. And I've been producing electronic music as a hobbyist ever since.

  The plugin in that demo isn't by Jeskola, it's by HD (Haldreamer) who I believe is a Russian audio developer who made some nice Buzz plugins in the early 2000's. Source: I have it installed and I just checked the "about" box.

    Ha thanks for this, my bad.

  What a blast from the past! Thanks for that. I remember Jeskola Buzz. It was a big part of my teenage years. The ethos of building things on top of an old, clunky, but otherwise amazing platform. People really created some amazing synthesizers for it.
