Propellerhead Software has announced that ReBirth has just been released for the Apple iPad. [a video is available on YouTube].

ReBirth literally puts faithful emulations of dance music's vintage analog hardware at iPad users' fingertips: the Roland TB-303 Bass synth and the TR-808 & TR-909 drum machines. Simple step-sequencers based on the original hardware assure that anyone stays on the beat. iPad multi-touch support provides an easy and functional experience. Rebirth offers simple one-click posting of tracks to Facebook and collaborating with other ReBirth users.

"The iPad really gives us the platform we always dreamed of when we conceived Rebirth nearly fifteen years ago," says Ernst Nathorst-Böös, CEO of Propellerhead Software. "Now, truly anyone can sound like a dance music hero and have a great time doing it."

Rebirth for iPad's main features:

• Two classic drum machines - Roland TR-808 and TR-909 emulations.
• Two analog bass synthesizers - Roland TB-303 emulations.
• Straightforward, simple step sequencers and pattern-based song mode ensure tight beats with no quirky touch screen anomalies.
• Great sounding effects and audio shapers.
• Direct sharing function to Facebook, social networks and other ReBirth users.
