Pro Music Apps

I guess it was only ever a matter of time before Propellerhead shifted ReBirth to its rightful home on iPad. I mean, anyone who bought the iPhone version will agree that it was kinda frustrating to operate on such a small screen. So has all been forgiven now its been updated to take full advantage of the added display real estate? Well, the fact we all have to buy it again, AND pay even more kinda sucks, but I guess there is no other way really… Read on for the full features -

ReBirth is back! Propellerhead Software’s legendary Techno Micro Composer has been resurrected and customized for the iPad. 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 gorgeous-looking interface and you’re ready to make killer tracks on your iPad. Share your music with friends on Facebook, Twitter and more using the built in sharing features.

Digital Bass Line is the ultimate 303 emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Get this classic synthesizer emulation that has all of the characteristics of the original. From the growling bite of the oscillators at the low end to the sublime resonating screams at the high end, Digital Bass Line is a must-have for all electronic music lovers.

Armed with the passion to bring to life a virtual 303, we have gone to great lengths to recreate the ultimate acid machine. We used our very own vintage 303 as reference, running the machine through a battery of feature specific tests to better understand and emulate in our application. What we discovered is that the 303 is not just another subtractive monosynth as some may claim and we believe that our emulation captures its true expressive essence. Our emulation has nuances that only owners of a real 303 know such as what happens when all of the pattern steps are slides or how each parameter truly reacts to the tempo.

Not only does Digital Bass Line give you a full featured virtual analog synthesizer, it also gives you two versatile effects stomp boxes to bring more life to your bass lines.

The easy and intuitive design makes creating bass lines fun and quick, whether you are a veteran of analog and digital synthesizers, or a newcomer to electronic music.
