Rebirth (RB-338) of Slick

This should be of some interest to most of you, or is that much interest to some of you?

People are gonna start thinking me a right disco-biscuit if I continue to post electronica-themed articles...


Propellerheads Software, the folk who brought us Reason amongst others have recently pulled/discontinued their Rebirth app (the legendary Roland synth device simulator)

Okay I'm gonna lift straight off the website here as I'm too lazy to make the words up myself (also there's the imminent arrival of the wife who will certainly have something to say about me being "at the computer again").

"The spirit of sharing was a vital part of the ReBirth Community. People who shared ideas, who offered their expertise, and who contributed music, inspired others to do the same in an ongoing cycle of creativity. In this tradition, Propellerhead Software offers the full version of ReBirth 2.0.1, and visitors can personally experience the phenomena of ReBirth and the legendary Roland Devices.
The ReBirth Museum download archive includes the RB-338 CD-Rom files, as well as the collected works of user created ReBirth Mods, Songs, and Extras. Visitors are welcome to download these items and experience first-hand the excitement and history of the 338.
ReBirth is a discontinued product, and Propellerhead Software does not provide technical support for the application, mods, or extras."

So I've gone and done the grunt work for any of those interested (and I personally think this is a kick-ass app for anyone to have, and it's free, so... if not, why not?).

Check out the usual resource and grab the rebirth installation torrent.

Once you have it down and installed, you may want to visit the Rebirth Museum, register, and then you'll have access to search and download 100's nay 1000's of songs, mods and extras to your heart's content.

And then, of course, there's the added incentive of having the synth, sequencing and drum machine to create your own stuff... If you so choose...
