Rebirth For iPad

Yay! I used to love Rebirth when it first came out back in the ’90s. Now it’s available for the iPhone. I once played an entire improve set using this on a Pentium Pro at a House party in Madison WI back in ’98.

ReBirth faithfully emulates dance music’s three backbone devices: The Roland TB-303 Bass synth and the Roland TR-808 and 909 drum machines. Combine these with FX units, fully featured pattern sequencers and a quick-acting, scalable iPhone interface and you’ll soon be making techno on the train, trance on the tram or beats on the bus.

Finally got my iPad today and was pleased to find that all of the iPhone apps I had also work on the iPad. They are scaled down but there is a x2 feature that stretches them out. This means that all of the iPod and iPhone apps listed here on my blog will work on your iPad.

Reviews:

AppTilt.com
For anyone remotely interested in what the iPad and iPhone can do for music creation, Aurora’s probably the best thing you can buy.

MusicTech Magazine
A powerful and flexible composition tool that’s even plausible as a small-scale production suite.

Review from Australia
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this program… I have to stop myself using it in bed because it just keeps me up all night.

I have bought almost all the iPad music apps I could find and Aurora is by far the most innovative and the best! On top of that, no other I have found lets me get right into the sounds like Aurora.

Music Radar
A truly inspiring production environment. If you’re an iPad owner in the market for a portable production tool, you definitely won’t want to pass this one up.

DJ_Simples – 5 Stars
Simply awesome, I thought the iPhone version was great, but this is in another league.
