Rebirth is back for the iPhone

DominoDub

ReBirth is back! Propellerhead Software's legendary Techno Composer has been resurrected and made available for the iPhone.

Now you can have 2 Roland TB-303's , TR-808 and a 909 in your hand !

Loved playing with this when it first came out, trying to sound like Richie Hawtin lol

Going to be hard to change all those filter pots etc lots of zooming !...would be great on the iPad !

Wow that's some app for only €5.49 - this will really come into it's own on the iPad I think. I predict music production apps will be a big thing in the iPad especially DAW controllers. If I could only program apps!

Do you think?

guess its cheap for a 303 emanulation.


cant say its going to get me excited but thats coz i have ABL which cover my 303 needs but if you dont have one its a bargain alright.

ive also got too many 808,909 drum samples(if you have these theres no need for the software versions i dont think)


wondering do all these apps sync to midi from your daw?

I think i've already seen DAW controllers that work through wireless for these devices

the prospect of touch screen controllers for production doesnt excite me to be honest

I dont know how durable the screens are.. but if they get as dirty as the screen on my phone, then they might just get scratched as well.

Its the future.. you cant resist change, but I think its a bit odd touching your computer screen (as in Windows 7) and making it all grubby. I cant see most people cleaning them.

Imagine all the internet cafes with C***'s eating "Crips" & touching the screen. Nice!

i agree its the future but not for music production,maybe the future for fannying about.:D

if it gives us good synths in the form of apps for cheap(how are they so cheap by the way when a regular softsynth would retail at alot more)then im all for it.

wonder if they sound good

REBIRTH itself for PC/MAC is free. Free as in properly free, Propellerheads released it as such a year or two ago.

Why?

Because the software was released in 1997 when virtual analog synthesisers were in their infancy. There's a bit of an emperors new clothes thing going on here because I actually used it for the first time there a couple years back and was struck by what a poor emulation it was.

You want a proper representation of a 303/808/909? These are the absolute ****. Hawtin and ilk now use them instead of the real devices live (nonwithstanding that Hawting and his ilk have sold themselves out to NI)
