Rebirth meets iphone !

[BradCee]

just tried getting rebirth to work on my laptop (forgot i even had a disc), doesn't seem to like win7, tried all the different compatibility modes and still 'no'

ok, it does work on 7, i was being a bit thick.

what was happening, was that running a benchmark test to check my laptop can run it, it would close and the help center would pop up about something to do with not being able to open the help file for rebirth.
didn't read it properly til 5 mins ago.

turns out that as the help stuff for rebirth was written back in the days of Windows Help (winhlp32.exe) and that was taken out in vista onwards, it can't recognise the help files; in this case the getting started stuff, and as it couldn't open them, the program was closing.

go here to obtain the winhlp32.exe update for vista/7 to run rebirth on those systems.

I have rebirth on my pc, and it's one of my favorite toys for just jamming around. Now, if i get an iphone, i can jam anywhere. I wonder if you can export your songs to a pc???

(slightly wandering off topic)
is the pc one midi mappable? never really played with it that much when i first got hold of it, no idea why.

i'm thinking of using an lpd8 to control it behind traktor, 8 pads/knobs per unit should be workable in a 'tool' kind of way? assuming it can be synced with traktors clock?

It has midi i/o, but it's lacking a nice smooth mapping feature like ableton. But with a little bit more time setting up it works fine.

i know what my next project is then

I almost fell over laughing. That's one of my favorite commercials ever.

if it's just for that app, you might as well chack out the Rebirth Museum, they've got it as a download on there, but no product support etc...

Just tried to instal it, but there is no Classic support in OSX 10.6! Any ideas?
