Rebirth on the iPhone!

Propellerhead Software have released their classic software clones of the Roland TR-808, TB-303 and 909 drum machines!

We've not seen Rebirth since 2005, (check out Hobnox Audiotool if you want to play with something similar), but I can see many a long tube journey is going to fly past while I make classic Techno and Acid House! Head to the iTunes store, or check out the Propellerhead website.

We've got a fair collection of synths here, some pre-dating MIDI, so connecting CV controlled devices to a modern setup is something we've dealt with before, (usually using the MIDI to CV capabilities of an old Novation BassStation we've got kicking around).....
