Rebirth on iPad
Published January 19, 2012 | 
Propellerhead’s Rebirth has been a popular desktop production tool for many years, so I knew it was just a matter of time before it made its way to the iPad. Rebirth is a beat making app built around the popular TB-303 and TR 808 and 809 drum machines. The groove engine behind all three of these modules is a programmable step sequencer with various effects. You’ll get a Compressor, Tempo-synced Delay, Distortion, a Pattern Controlled filter, and Mixing section for polishing your creations.
The stock sounds are good, and the app affords the user a lot of tweakable flexibility. Rebirth is compatible with other popular apps like the Korg Electribe and the IMS-20. Easy file sharing is supported and using WIFI sync you can link your iPad with another iPad to make use of both or rock out with another friend. The app also allows you to record different fader movements to give your songs that extra attention to detail.
All in all, Rebirth is a solid beat making application for the iPad, but I have received a lot of bad feedback about the app’s instability issues. My hope is that Propellerhead can correct the problem because Rebirth is a great program and now it only cost $7. If you’re into producing electronic music this is an app you’ll want to have on deck.
