Propellerhead has released ReBirth 1.2 for the Apple iPad. Version 1.2 adds WIST (Wireless Sync-Start Technology developed by Korg). WIST uses a Bluetooth signal to simultaneously start two compatible iPad or iPhone apps. The free update to current owners is available now from the iTunes AppStore.

ReBirth 1.2 users can perform with a friend or expand their iPad/iPhone ensemble by using two units at once, expanding the ways they can create and perform music on their mobile devices. Mix and match ReBirth with TableTop, iMS20, iElectribe and other compatible apps in new dynamic ways.

Sequel 3 includes more than 5,000 high-quality loops and sounds of various music styles, which are easily accessible through Steinberg's acclaimed MediaBay media management tool. With an additional 500+ workstation sounds, the HALion Sonic SE plug-in nicely rounds out the quality content included in Sequel.

The Performance Mode turns Sequel 3 into a live tool for creating impromptu arrangements and live mixes by triggering the 24 live performance pads with song sections and variations.
Sequel's one-click tempo detection is a great tool when it comes to working with rhythms of varying tempos. In Performance Mode, this feature can be used for creating remixes.

The Anvil is a digital emulation of a three channels tube preamplifier for guitar.

- Three channels: clean, rhythm and lead, each with fully separated controls.
- Mono / Stereo processing support.
- Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).

- Fully automatable controls.
- Zero latency.

From classic R&B and Hip-Hop to Rock and Pop music the TR-808 has been used by artists ranging from Marvin Gaye and Tupac to Pink and Phoenix. Although the TR-808 sounds are still widely used, most producers and artists are forced to arrange individual recordings from the original unit as the rarity, price and inability to fully integrate the machine into modern production environments have kept it out of reach.

Revolution-808 Features
- Intuitive user interface that mimics that actual hardware (Kontakt format)
- 7 Layers of Round Robin sampling for unique variations between individual drum hits
- Available for Kontakt, EXS24 and all hardware and software samplers that support WAV format
- Extremely Long sample lengths which preserve the natural sustain of the drums without truncation
- Sampled at 24bit 96kHz
- Over 3600 unique samples which cover every possible tonal variation of the original TR-808.
