Propellerhead have 'Refilled' all Rebirth 's drum sounds - and they've included a selection of recreations of kits from the 'mod' community.

If you can't be bothered with running Rebirth, or are glad to be shot of OS9 but still have a soft spot for Rebirth sounds, all is not lost. More Rebirth history can be found at the SOS web site ( reviews of v1 and v2 appeared in our August 1997 and November 1998 issues respectively, both available on-line. There are apparently some people who have never stopped using Rebirth they're to be applauded, but they're also to be tempted with a very favourable (but time limited) upgrade path to the latest version of Reason. The museum also has a lot of 'mods' to download, so you can sample some of that late '90s hacking action. This is unsupported software, but the museum offers loads of docs, FAQs and a live message board. (Mac users can run from the disk image on their desktop.) Burn that image to a disk yourself, and you're ready to go. The download takes the form of a rather large disk image, using the Bit Torrent distribution method.

Any Mac users still on Mac OS 9 can also gain this free Rewire-compatible mini-studio. First, take a trip over to Here, you'll be able to gen up on the whole story, and download v2.0.1 of the software for free! For Windows users, that effectively means an extra four modules for their Reason setup, since RB338 still runs on that platform. Rebirth of Rebirthīut all is not lost: discontinued does not mean dead and buried, as it might at other software houses. With regret, therefore, Rebirth has been discontinued.
#PROPELLERHEAD REASON 10.3 FOR MAC OS#
Development of Rebirth effectively ceased with v2.0.1, and although some users might like to see the classic software rebuilt for modern times (especially for Mac OS X), Propellerhead have decided that their resources are better deployed on current and future projects. But Propellerhead thoughtfully built a conduit for the software - the Rebirth Input Machine - into their new super studio. The 2000 release of Rebirth' s successor, Reason, could have been Rebirth 's death knell. Rather than take umbrage - though they must have been surprised - Propellerhead legitimised this 'mod' culture, releasing an application with v2.0 that allowed anybody to do their own mods.

#PROPELLERHEAD REASON 10.3 HOW TO#
Rebirth, a very early entry into the soft instrument stakes, had quite an eventful life, particularly when inquisitive users discovered how to replace the software's graphics, and even its drum samples. This accurate representation of the classic acid studio - virtual Roland TR808 drum machine and dual TB303 Basslines - was an instant hit, growing a virtual TR909 beatbox with v2.0. But computers weren't up to the job in 1997, so Rebirth RB338 was their follow-up to Recycle instead. It has been said that Propellerhead, for their second product ever, really wanted to release something like Reason. Long live Rebirth! We discuss the decision to discontinue this pioneering software and discover how Reason users can keep its spirit alive. Propellerhead salute their breakthrough software with the Rebirth Mod Refill.
