yay my trak its finished |

The indicators of the SELECTOR switches show you the measure number. (Refer to RULES OF INDICATION on P.69) Whilst the TB-303 is playing, obviously the numbers will increase. |

breaking up with a very special person while trying to run a business is amongst the hardest. i'm going downtown now to hook up with john. hope my trak turned out NICE. |
||||||||

And what a corker it is too. Very catchy :) |

i've got two tracks ready, i've just got to sort out how to get them to you ceri. i think i'll have to figure out yousendit, my zebox membership has lapsed and both tracks are too large for the free site (and too large to email). i'm going to try to do at least one more track and then i'll let you pick which one (if any!) is worthy of inclusion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can email them to me at the gmail address if your email provider will let you mail large files (try zipping them if it doesn't like MP3s). Links to external sites are fine too, but please email them rather than posting them here. I look forwards to hearing your track, cheers. |

i just sent an email with links to two tracks, let me know if you get them! |

Re-birth is fucking hard... because of the low-res man I have to switch to 800x600 and I still don't see the text labels on most of the buttons (because of the low resolution bitmaps). But fun in a mash-the-buttons-see-what-it-does way ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ymenard: I do agree that they could of added a x2 res. button, but once you're familiar with it (I fortunately got acquainted with it when 800*600 on a 14" monitor was the norm), it's pretty simple, conceptually, compared to most modern software/synths. Although I do agree that the programming is a bit fiddly, but that's part of the emulation of the original gear and often results in some happy mistakes when you get things slightly different to how you intended. plaidzebra: I can't check at the moment (gmail is down), but I will mail you if there's a problem. |

I've got 'em. Good tracks :) You've got mail. |
||||||||
|

Just had a thought, if ULing emailing tracks as mp3s is a problem for anyone, they could try sending me the rebirth file (rbs) to the above email addy and I can render to .wav ready for the mix on my machine. Cheers. |

starting a track |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Any limitations in style, speed (bpm) or track lenght? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nope. I'd actually really like (and will aim to use) tracks that differ from your typical rebirth sound (ie like the default song). Minimal techno, electro, ambient, dnb, etc. are all possible in rebirth and submissions would be welcomed. If you write, say, a 20 minute track, it may be used in an abbreviated form (Ie faded out early/prematurely mixed with the next track). Mind you, if you write something killer that's 10 minutes long, of course I'll use it. BPM is only limited by rebirth, but clever doubling up/halving can obviously extend the possible amount :) |

so what happens here? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
people make tracks. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I've received 7 or so tracks so far, a few more people have said tracks are on the way. Despite the relatively few submissions, they've thankfully all been of a good quality so far. It seems the old hands at rebirth have done tracks very quickly, whereas other people are learning to use rebirth for the first time and taking a bit longer. Good variety of styles so far and whilst they're obviously using rebirht sounds, they don't sound like your typical rebirth tracks. |

I'm still trying to get something good out of rebirth :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it can be done! i hope people will be pleasantly surprised, they'll be expecting "bmm tss bippa wa bm tss bow wow" and instead they'll get OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... |
||||||||

Yes, you can get quite ambienty stuff out of it with a little work. Remember, with the right settings/fx, a 303 isn't a million miles away from a bass guitar in sound (that's what it was made for, after all). Another tip is that you can recreate certain effects through careful programming (granular cut ups by changing the order of notes for one bar, deleting every other note for a gating, following each accented note with a standard one for a strange delay-like effect, etc.) I'm not saying all stereotypically re-birth sounding tracks are bad (I've got a very good one amongst the submissions so far), just that if people think that's all that's possible, they lack imagination. |

When's the deadline Ceri JC? For submitting any music? Thnx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Last submission date: 20th November, 2005. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on folks, it has been a while since I've received any submissions. Even those without rebirth experience should of had time to of learnt it by now, it's not that complex :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh... Yes sorry Ceri! I should have it done by the 20th. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I might do it, probably too late though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should be fine. 18 days is plenty :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ceri, did you get the .wav and rebirth2.0 files i sent you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, I did thanks. I probably won't remix it for this vibes (as the original willbe in it), but if I do something worth hearing, I'll send a copy back to you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can I pretty please be allowed to run the track through my mixer/tapedeck for some warm analogue coloring? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nevermind, I'm too lazy to rig it up, Ill just hook you up with the clean version straight out of rebirth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice track :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can I submit two tracks? They should be ready by the weekend. (12-13th of November.) I'm trying to do something a bit different. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep! If they're hosted on somewhere where the link will expire within 7 days, please check with me first. Some bloke (didn't recognise his name from here) did that without notifying me, I was away, by the time I got it the link had expired and he hasn't responded to my request for him to repost it. Multiple tracks are welcomed and if they're good enough/fit well with the other tracks, I've no problem with using a couple from the same person in the compilation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe thanks, even though it's just a little muck-about in patternmode :p |

hoy has anyone running ReBirth on Mac OS Classic managed to get a midi device to work? This OMS shit is buggering my head in |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it doesn't work at all. just reboot in mac os 9. or buy yrslf an old mac 1400 laptop or something and run mac os 8.5-9.2 and you should be fine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so the deadline has come and gone...did you get enough tracks? how soon until you put out the vibe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

so the deadline has come and gone...did you get enough tracks? Nope, I'm quite disappointed. A lot of people promised tracks and showed a lot of interest and then didn't deliver. Credit to those who did, often multiple tracks and a high quality. how soon until you put out the vibe? Not for a while: I'm offering a month's extension. Partly because of the lack of submissions and partly because I am very busy at the moment (Away all week and I crashed my bike this morning- don't worry I'm fine, but have to spend a lot of time fixing it). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I have to disagree with you there. Only one of the submissions I have received so far sounds like your archetypal Re-birth track. Yes, most people's re-birth noodlings are boring and generic. Part of the challenge of this vibes was for people to make interesting varied music with a limited toolset. There are some great minimal techno tracks and even an ambient one in what I have so far! On another note: Perhaps part of the reason there was a slow uptake was the difficulty associated with DLing a copy. I will discuss with the powers that be, the possibility of hosting a legit copy of Re-birth, if anyone can supply me with the ISO/zip (I can't bit torrent on this machine), please post here/email me and we will sort something out. Many thanks. |

man i had no trouble downloading rebirth, again. there are loads of pirate copies out there too. it's not like it's hard to get a hold of rebirth. if you want, i'll give you a ton of tracks and you can just fill it out with extra yard rebirth tracks :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Go for it- I was actually considering a compilation of only the 5 or so people who've submitted tracks so far, the quality is good enough and the tracks are varied. Perhaps through in a few pseudonyms Rephlex Manhunt Compilation stylee to make it look like the work of more people that it actually is? :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
cool...check your email m8 ;) |
