29 December 1998 New Adaptor mod available for ReACID, while we wait for DJLoop to release New Versions of his 1.5 mods:) Also, Minimod has gone through a revision. Some of the samples where causing phase problems on the earlier version. So this is Minimod beta 3. Some of the Graphics have also been updated. Im still working on a demo song as well. So enjoy this version and please send me feedback on problems that you have or suggestions that i can make to this mod. Thanks and Have a Happy New Year! =Peff
Merry Christmas 1998 Well, due to lack of HD space on the Niftywerks FTP server, the Minimod Download is going to have to wait, however, you can download a preview version. The final version will be slightly different, so check back soon for an update:) Hami has just updated the Computer Controlled Website, and I did a small history of how "Mods" got started...as far as i know how it happened. If anyone has any comments, corrections, or amendments, please let me know. I was watching the Christmas Broadcast from St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican and I couldn't help noticing that the Pope uses Neumann Microphones! Hehe, I guess that isn't really surprising. I've heard of other Churches having stock piles of old U-47's, and it only seems natural that the most amazing Cathedral in the World has the most amazing microphones in the world! Odd Twisted Thought: It's a bit ironic that the Pope and Howard Stern actually have something in common--they use the same brand of microphones. hehe, I'm not really sure about all this since the logo was rather blurred on the screen, but I could make out a red diamond on the side of the mic. In the spirit of imitative flattery, i've been designing some new logos around other famous logos from the Audio world. One of my favorites being Roland (naturally), and another one of my favorites being Telefunken (German Audio Company which was the predecessor to the current Neumann gmbh) The new start page of my site has one of the new logo ideas, and below is the second idea:
I've also revised my links pages for more rebirth mods that you can download off the internet from other mod makers pages, as well as other cool ReBirth ReLated sites. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday, errr hmm. well I hope that people aren't seriously too miserable this holiday! =Peff
19 December 1998 Minimod is near completion! Check out the GUI. The samples are a collection of various "Garage" style Synths, including the Casio CZ-101/1000, the Korg M1, Roland Juno-106 & TR-909 (new samples) and Sequential Circuits Prophet 5. I've also posted some new songs, including the Propellerheads ReBirth Christmas Song Challenge Winner, The little Drummer Boy (lil dnb mix). I'm considering doing a rewired version and posting the MP3 version at sometime... Plus a new track, Experiment in G Major, done in collaboration with WiSK. If you're like me, you're probably busy doing your taxes for 1998, so that you can have a real Happy Holidaze and spend those extra profits on new equipment purchases before the beginning of the New Tax Year. hehe;-) I hope everyone is having a happy holiday, and check under my christmas tree for a present on Christmas morning. =Peff ps. I really don't celebrate the holiday, but that doesnt mean I don't get caught up in the spirit of things. Check out some of my holiday E-mail Greeting cards from my friends.
11 December 1998 I have uploaded some new tracks of mine. Please check them out. Comments criticisms are always welcome. Minimod is taking some shape in terms of sounds. I've opted not to give it an entirely moog sound, but there will be some nice analog samples in it. I'm trying to track down a font called "Digital" which i had but lost some time ago. Technobox mkII is online and is now available for download. This mod will work with 1.5 technobox songs but has a different 909 than the other techno box variations. This mod has been submitted to the propellerheads for their scrutiny, and pending "officialization", Techno Boxsong makers may be able to send in their tracks for the official Propellerhead's Song Archives. Hami has published some more of the tip and tricks/technical advice pages that I put together on the Computer Controlled website. Some information about RBS making using the PCF for some fancy filter work, Audio info, and some tips on Knobs for Mods. =Peff
6 December 1998 I have put some of my rbs songs online here. Click on the little RBS icon to go to the download page. The Technobox series of mods has yet another revision: The Technobox mkII. I think i will send this one off to the propellerheads for their scrutinization and possible submission into their collection of Official Mods. Especially since they have reopened the old 1.5 rbs archives. This version incorporates a best of sample drums to date as well as the 808 set of samples from the Technobox TB-909e. This mod will be available from here soon. There was a slight modification made to the RSP 1200 mod. The 808 Clave and 808 Clap sounds have been replaced. the Clave has been replaced with the SP1200 Finger snap samples, and the 808 Clap has been replaced with a more authentic sounding SP1200 hand Clap. There might be a second version of the RSP1200 which has more Authentic Tom Samples on the 909 section. I will keep ya posted. The minimod's graphics are almost done, but i have yet to start the sample set. I'm deliberating on whether or not to create a whole set of moog percussion samples on my memorymoog+. This might be kinda handy, but it would be one of those out-there utility kind of mods rather than an all purpose cool composition tool type of mod like the Axiom peace. =Peff
5 December 1998 RSP 1200 is available:-) The demo song needs some work but the sounds are all in there. This is a pretty cool sound set. Thanks again to Zou-Zou for putting together this set of samples. New Project in the works: the minimod. Along the lines of the RB-SEMx, the minimod is styled after a classic vintage analog synthesizer. This has been a pet project of mine for quite a while, and i'm finally getting around to bringing this idea into reality. I've been busy making some tracks lately. Some of my latest AXIOM Peace tracks are in the latest song packs on the propellerhead's site, and some Tracks for the Trancer Mod are available onCybernetique's Trancer Mod web page. The recent interest in "DnB" style of percussion sounds has me changing some of the Quantum Bass Mod samples. Getting the right tone is kinda difficult, but these types of Big Bass Drum Sine wave sounds work well with the Alpha Jungle 808 kit in the QB mod. Also, i've been working on some new tips and tricks for rebirth and stuff which can be found on The Computer Controlled Website. Some PCF tips; Some words about Copyrights; Knob Graphic Tips; and Audio Tips... This stuff has kept me pretty busy this week. All that Turkey has kept the trytophan levels pretty high, and my consciousness level pretty dull ;-p
