iPAD REBIRTH RB338 Synth and Drum Machine PART 101 The Jam WHAT IS THIS SOUND

[ratedsss]

Nice beat..but please shut the fuk up

[VJFranzK]

@ratedsss Thank you, but no way. ;-) The rest of you? See the Reason 6 sequel to this video shortly.

[tremoraudio]

I love mine! The girlfriend does not! lol

[VJFranzK]

@tremoraudio ;-) That's a common problem. See my video "Sawtooth Blues" - my ex GF / bandmate said she hated the sound of sawtooth waves. I told her - but that's a major part of the synth world eliminated! She was okay with square waves, at least, and so we used mainly those, and sines.

[matt9741399]

This is the voice of the mysterons!

[VJFranzK]

@matt9741399 ha ha ;-) "Captain Scarlett" right? Stay tuned for the sequel to this... REASON 6.0 Review!

[VJFranzK]

@virsynth You typed that 3x, and it still sounds too negative. ;-) I am a positive thinker always! Send me the promo code of your app and ill review it if it's good! I think I sent the email for Addictive already? ( are you an employee of VirSyn? Or a user? ) I am reviewing a VERY nice new app to be revealed today! stay tuned!

[JoshuaHalfBreed]

i must say your lyrics are pretty awesome

[BRITAINSSAVIOR]

Hate when to touch screen disobeys an instruction

[VJFranzK]

@BRITAINSSAVIOR me too, obviously ;-) This will happen more with apps like this that were ported from desktop computers, and thus have interfaces with small buttons! The best cure is to zoom in a lot when adjusting things, keep your fingers clean and dry, and just practice. (I'm a lot bettern now than last year!) Coming soon on my channel: A beta test preview of FL Studio, the new iPad edition! (yes, it's real.)

[VJFranzK]

@TheLittleDevil Actually, "I find YOUR lack of faith disturbing." - Dath Vader. In the video I am "the human sample"! (as heard in so many classic tracks - of course I am going to repeat phrases to the beat endlessly ) If you want silent reviews, choose any other boring clone reviewer on YT. I have personality! ;-)>

[imwatchinya]

absolute toss!!!got three of these acid babies at home just waiting on ebay for a

sweet 909,all this technology and you can't turn on the mix button with your Ipants

just goes to show that sometimes you can't beat the real thing.

[VJFranzK]

@imwatchinya Yes, I see them - and how much do they cost? About 285 X the $. (And don't forget, you'd actually have to buy 2, AND 2 classic drum machines.) And you can't put them in your shirt pocket ;-)> Nothing will exactly duplicate the sound of a TB303. That said, you can do a lot of great things with Rebirth, so I say it's a great value!

I'm glad Propellerheads featured this video! Even with the influx of haters. ;-)>

[subverbal]

@imwatchinya - I was working in pro audio retail when Rebirth first came out, not long after the original boxes were being sold left right and centre. Most people cashed in (303s were fetching £500-£800 at the time) because this and the new 'virtual synths' were almost as good with none of the hassle. I was lucky enough to own a 303, 808 and 909 and ran them alongside Rebirth, the only obvious difference was when a series of 808 kicks were triggered. I did love my boxes though ;)

[dj2bklyn]

This is not Acid house asshole you don't that idiot doesn't know what real acid house is!

[VJFranzK]

@dj2bklyn obviously, takes one to know one. ;-P It's close enough to get the point across. Do you want to 1. nit pick about microscopic divisions between styles of the past, or 2. spend your time making something from the future, that the media hipsters haven't named yet? >;-)> The people who started those styles would choose 2, I suspect!

[aaronhedges]

this video is hilarious... totally awesome...

[SAButterbrot]

@jayrellz yes, they made this before reason

[kasuskasus]

"-Annoy your friends..."

Good idea. I'm buying it!

[markussvanstell]

The best review ever. Superb!!!!! You have to make a track with "what is this sound" as main vocal sample. It's great!

[slothscanswim]

the tb in tb-303 doesnt stand for techno bassline, it stands for transistorized bass. oh yeah and your programming sucks

[toranamunter]

@slothscanswim it stands for techno bassline, there are rumours it was originally techno BEAST but the marketing department made them change it. The 303 was the price, they were 303 pounds - much cheaper than the 808.

[slothscanswim]

@toranamunter your a complete moron, every part of your comment is wrong. the tb-303 was never meant to be used for techno it was made for bass accompaniment and years after roland stopped its production dj's started using them for house music. the original price of the tb-303 was listed at 238 pounds or 395 us, and the 303 is a completely different instrument than the 808, one emulates a bass guitar and one emulates a drum set. tb has always stood for transistorized bass, not techno-anything,

[TOAFN]

@slothscanswim

You're absolutely right my friend. Also the Tr909 was NEVER intended for dance/techno music.

[TOAFN]

@toranamunter

Check your facts. You're COMPLETELY wrong.

[bablouche]

@TOAFN he's obviously trolling :)

[Koshdukai]

Initially was all like "WTF!?! What is this... VOICE??? God-mode voice is so last century" :P

...but, heck, it turned into a pretty cool way to integrate the commentary into the demo, becoming a part of the music.

Brilliant! ^_^

[BradAu73]

lol you're a total dork but i like it

[lucio788]

great review man :)

[taalmala]

shut up.. holy fuck.

[ashtonron]

great review!

[solutionsagent]

LOL, yes, awesome commentary... :)

[Meistergriller]

i guess this video demonstrates pretty good that turning knobs and touchscreens aren't supposed to be friends

[4one4114]

Are you able to somehow midi time sync say for example..this ReBirth app and the Korg iElectribe app on another iPad? No one can seem to tell me!! I dont have an iPad yet but this is one app i definitely wanna get...

[4one4114]

[fx61803]

hahaha, dude, awesome commentary D:)

is this iphone version ? cause they dont have pure ipad rebirth, right?

[VJFranzK]

@fx61803 Thanks! you are correct. it's an iphone program. but its so much nicer on an ipad with lots of screen to use it on

[VJFranzK]

@fx61803 All iPhone software runs on iPad also, yes. Now they have made a specific HD version of this app also for iPad (as some companies do).

Now what I want... iReason ;-) that's just a dream at this point, but you could use some i MIDI / OSC app

to control your Reason running on a laptop.

[Intosia]

sounds crap.... Bassline2 has 10x better emu...

[VJFranzK]

@Intosia Hmm, am checking that program out. It seems that isn't really a direct comparison - Bassline2 is a VST Plug in, in doesn't run on iPad, and has no drums etc.

Even if you consider it better (the "squelch" factor does indeed seem quite good) , it is at most a 1.5x times better emulation, and also costs more than 10x as much?

[Intosia]

@VJFranzK Well there is Technobox on the Iphone, which is ABL2 engine + 909 + 808.

+ Direct port of the RB interface is fail i think. To hard to use. On the PC its even to small to use...

[Koshdukai]

@Intosia Apples vs Oranges...

[JonDeep67]

Good review but gotta agreed with Wakko1999 on the corny voiceover.

[TRaddcliff]

HA HA HA "annoy your friends....make NEW friends...."

classic. good demo man.

[j0hnyd42]

probably the best review of anything ive ever seen

[VJFranzK]

@j0hnyd42 Well, thanks a lot! Now see Overdramatic Review #2 - iPad Space Invaders 3.0 Infinity Gene ( Yes, with a Techno Music soundtrack, of course. )

[processean242]

hahahahah speakno

[clubhappybest]

oh crap. it's all over. Rebirth is the JAMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

[wakko1999]

the voiceover sounded corny, but strangely cool at the same time...weird...

[VJFranzK]

@wakko1999 Okay, I think you get it. >;-)>

In this video my voiceover is halfway as if it is the repeated "sample" in an acid techno track (as you would often hear in the early 1990's onward)

Spoken word + techno is a great combination = "Speakno" !

[snolan1990]

Up until I saw this video I couldn't think of one reason that the Ipad would be better than the Ipod touch but now it all makes perfect sense.

And with all the sequencing capabilities of the real machines there is no reason why you couldn't make a proper fully fleshed out acid track on it. WIsh it had an Akai S900 rack aswell for vocal samples but then the world would grind to a holt as everyone busted out perfect house tracks.

[hallobaaaby]

i do the same thing on ipod touch haha

[primary0]

What. Is. This. Sound?

[Lukaz1989]

omg this is so awesome both in terms of music and entertainment xD

[nzSkitzo]

Haha you are awesome as hell = D

[hustletv]

You the man

[steveshort4steven]

I just ordered the ipad specifically for this. I know it comes in ipod but fuck it

[VJFranzK]

@steveshort4steven It's much better to have the knobs larger, good choice. There are plenty of other cool eMusic apps out there to try also ( see my other reviews )

[TechnoMusicNews]

Can this render to Wav so I can jam out a bassline and then use it in my DAW?

[oscillik]

TB stands for Transistor Bass actually

[VJFranzK]

@oscillik Yes, I do know that, I just forgot for a minute because I said "Techno" all those times. It is a fairly common mistake, considering what it has become

[CandysAllMediaReview]

Ah the iphone version. I might get this for my iPad

[nuclearthreat545]

"Annoy your friends, make new friends, make new enemies, make some noise!" LOLOLOL

[FSK1138]

nice --it scales very well --- i think you got this up "first " for the ipad :) well done

[AMOKIAN]

P.s I like your rendition of THE PHUTURE -- vintage acid tune.hahaha

[AMOKIAN]

You have all the GEAR!!!

My wife is going to have to get an IPAD just for this AP and the Electribe

AP.

Must be fun....

[VJFranzK]

@AMOKIAN There are so many great music apps for this thing it's like a candy store, get one NOW. (I wanna get a custom app out there, if you know any programmers! I'm talking to one already...)
