Hi Folks, As mentioned here: Rebirth is now available for free DL. As such I want to guage interest on an xlt-vibes idea: Rebirth vibes. I was thinking along the lines of a vibes done solely using rebirth (mac or PC version) with no effects/post-production work, other than those bundled with it. Something I'd like to get an opinion on is if the use of mods should be banned (insert Jedi Chris joke here). Personally I think it should to help retain the traditional sound of the 808 and 909 as well as create an extra challenge, but if everyone has their heart set on using poisoner etc., I'm happy to go with that. Quite aside from the tribute to what was, for many of us, the first serious softsynth we used and a pioneering bit of software in its own right, the classic 303/808/909 sounds should mean lots of nice acid, detroit, techno and minimal tracks. There's also a nice challenge for people to come up with something that sounds fresh and interesting and actually having to pull their fingers out and do some tight programming, without relying on the latest "does it all for you" softsynth presets etc. NB: THIS IS NOT YET AN OFFICIAL VIBES. It's just guaging interest, if there's enough, I'll speak to Phob about it. I'll be happy to mix it/DL tracks etc. if it goes ahead. Let me know what you all think. Cheers, Ceri |

You missed the A.K.A. between the words Chris and joke there :P Sounds decent. It shouldn't take more than about 4 weeks for the download to finish :) I would like to have a go and would be up for it. |

i'll have a go |

I am up for the challenge. Are there any other restrictions in mind? As i saw this really good programing interface for it. Can i use that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes!! NO MODS!!! that would defeat the whole point. |
||||||||

I was thinking about if people could use Patternmaster (or the mac equivalent) or not. On the one hand, I'd have no way of telling if you did and I don't want to put too many restrictions on it. On the other, the fiddly interface (and consequently the mistakes that are made whilst programming it, due to this) is arguably a part of the instrument, particularly the 303. Personally, I'll be doing everything in re-birth (yes, even using that compressor), but I don't want to take the fun out the project by dictating too much :-) Ecnad: Yep, the DL rate is taking the Michael. |

Glad to see I have an ally on this point, you just know someone would abuse it and load absynth/reaktor sound samples into a custom made mod. :) |

I made a 90 min rebirth-liveperformance last week, its nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YOU did too? I hear Bruno Mandel did one as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Then I take it you would be up for this challenge? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea, I was so inspired by his set that I had to make one myself actually :) Ceri : Yes, I'm very much up to it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, ok i will do it all in re-birth then! : ) I am not one to back down from a challenge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Yeah Im up for this, it was true what you said above, Rebirth was one of the first bits of music software I ever used, and it was a turning point in the way i made music (a lot of Hardware gathering dust since). I still love the interface and haven't heard of the update that Skink mentioned but I will have a look at it. This should be a good project and it is exciting to see what everyone produces given the same set of tools. I bought a compilation album a few years ago which was produced entirely using the Roland 505 groovebox. Beck managed to squeeze a good electro track out of it. The rest of the artist lineup sounded shit. *Fires up Rebirth |

When is this thing due? |
||||||||
|
|

|

whoa, easy there. we can't detonate until we arrange to obtain some explosives. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill try |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shit! I already lit the fuse |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Quickly, use some gum to put it out! |
||||||||

I'm still waiting for a few more people to sig up to this before I get it "officialised" and formalise the rules, submission requirements, etc. Kado: That thing skink is talking about (if it's what I think it is) isn't an official addon or anything, it's a third party (fan) proggy that lets you do your 303 lines on a piano roll, as opposed to the traditional 303 weird-as-hell step sequencer. The limited toolset aspect appeals to me also, it'll be a level playing field for everyone involved and it'll really test people's programming abilities. Now, where is my old phat boy RB-338 overlay... |

Great idea, let's see if I can get something done in time. If you somehow need a hand with the mixing part, let me know. I would be willing to mix the tracks together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We are not allowed to use any kind of post-processing what-so-ever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, if it's noticeable, the track won't be used. I suppose you might get away with some ever so subtle EQing/compression, if I don't spot it, but the whole point of the compilation is: 1. To use only rebirth- it's sort of a tribute to rebirth. 2. To have a level playing field. Anyone with a mac/pc can take part, legally, for free and have the same chance as the bloke with the £500,000 studio. 3. To have a cohesive sound to the tracks. This should make the mix work well. Aesthetics: Thank you for the offer, I'll be in touch of your help is needed, ta. |

| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, I agree with you, I just had to check to be certain :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No problem. :) |

I'm not prepared to download 500megs just for a few megs for the .exe. I'm sure others are in the same position. Would any kind members with a fat pipe care to download the windows image and make available just the exe and core bits. That way many more people could get involved in this. Because I would be well up for this! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I'M IN!!!!!!! FUN FUN |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my download just halted :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Count me in. I already have ReBirth 2.01 and the ModPacking shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sign me on the liney |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really want to get crackingon this but i can't because i have to wait hours for this pissing download. I am really looking forward to some old school madness! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, will there be a tempo restriction? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what kind of program is this? I've never used it, how would I fare? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, you have to program it like the original. So if you are at all familiar with any step sequencing hardware you should be alright with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right. that's me out. also the 5kb/s download is not good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's easy once you get used to it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.. everything is easy when you get used to it. :) if the download speed gets better after the initial semi-rush, I might give it a go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would like to hear what you come up with! ; ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Fuck it |

Dan can only post two syllable messages inbetween his 14-hour DJ set. it's either take 1/64th of a pee or type two syllables. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah yeah, i suppose that is ok then! : ) I was worried! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

rebirth is a bit fiddly at first, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. its pretty wysiwyg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

|
|
Heh. If I can hold my attention long enough to finish something, then I will take a stab at it. Of course, after this download has gone throughl, I will probly be retired and have sold all my gear to pay for dentures. |
||||||||
|
|
