As mentioned in our New Year Nostro’s and in the preview to this year’s Milia “digital-concept-kids” conference, Revamp is now available for download.
Still only in beta, this “Broken” bit of binary, has been described by a leading musical strategists as, “a new paradigm for clubbing, challenging the way we interact to create and perform electronic music.” Or in their own words, a “superfly multiuser live techno performance jamspace.” Nyce.
In essence, Revamp is a director projector that sits on top of your existing Rebirth 1.5 software and makes the process of producing pukka pieces of audiophonica a pure pleasure. Currently only available for Mac [a PC version is currently in production], they have done away with the hundreds of knobs and installed some funky fresh touchy feelly icons to created a whole new way of musical thinking.
Sounds good? Check out the screen grabs and official explanation on their site for more. But we can let you into a little secret ... we were going to include this “exclusive” in last week’s NewzFeed, but Marcus [one of the three RCA students behind Revamp] was suffering from a case of, “ok we’ve made it, but it’s still a prototype” source code shyness.
This all changed however on Tuesday this week, when Propellerheads [the makers of the original Rebirth software] found out about it and flagged Revamp up on the top of their home page calling it “a very cool and different experience”. Creating 40,000 hits in two days as a result.So, now that we can tell you about it, make sure you tell everyone else to cash in maximum “cool” credits.
