What the hell is ReMaker?
Remaker was designed for all musicians, who wanna
have more than ever the same TB-3o3 sounds in their tracks. Just like us...,
So created ReMaker. ReMaker converts RBS 2.0 songs
into the Standard MIDI-1 Format (SMF) or vice versa!
Now you can play TB-3o3 sequences with your 'real' synthesizers (I tried some sequences
with my NordLead and I can tell ya, it sounds like hell!!) or samplers! Of course, you can
create also some shuffled and flamed MIDI drum patterns, played with your favorite drum
samples or drum kit!
NOTE: ReMaker is designed for ReBirth 2.0 songs only!
1.5 songs will be ignored! If
you wanna convert a 1.5 song, load with ReBirth 2.0 and
save the
song, after that you have a 2.0 song! (what else ;) )

Imagine! Playing a trumpet or piano sample with TB-3o3 slides!
No problem! Now you can! Choose any instruments playing with your GM
soundcard with the TB properties like 'Slide' and 'Filter'! ReMaker uses for this
functions CC (Continous Controllers) and the Pitchwheel! So you get the right TB sound
feeling!
And
it doesn't converts the notes only! No....
All the following knobs,
sliders and functions will be converted:
RBS to MIDI |
| All TB
Knobs |
You can define
the right controller for your synth! |
| TB
Slide |
You must have a
General MIDI or GS compatible soundcard or module! 'Cause ReMaker switches with RPN the
pitchwheel sensibility to +/- 24 semitones! Not working with FM synthesizers! |
| Emulated
TB Filter EG (!) |
Definitely the
best part of ReMaker! ReMaker emulates with the TB settings 'EnvMod' and 'Decay' the
Filter Envelope Generator (FEG)!
Note: The MIDI files getting huge, if you enable this function! |
| Pannings |
ReMaker uses CC
10. |
| Volume |
ReMaker uses CC
7 and for the TR levels the velocity property. |
| TB/TR
Accent |
Will Pump up
the volume! With velocity! |
| Shuffle |
Yeah! This
rocks! Let's swing... This function is supporting all machines! |
| TR-9o9
Flam |
The 4 to 60ms
delays and double strikes? No problem for ReMaker! |
| Load/Save
of Options/Filter |
Of course you
can load and save all this options! You can create for every synths you have a *.REM file
for later use! Share them with other users in the World Wide Web! Also send this files to
me! THX! |
MIDI to RBS |
Note:
Be sure that...
...track 1 and 2 is for both TB-3o3s and track 3 and 4 for the TRs
The ReMaker converts only
the first four tracks!
...the MIDI file is in the MIDI-1 format, MIDI-0 will be not accepted!
...range of notes is from C2(24) till C5(60) = 3 octaves like the TBs
...you don't have more than 32 different patterns each track!
ReMaker will mute patterns,
which are too much!
...you know, that ReMaker is converting the notes only!
Add some PCF and whatever
yourself after the conversion! ReMaker isn't your cleaning mother! ;) |
Don't expect a wonder...
ReMaker and GM/GS isn't
supporting everything!
No RBS to MIDI! |
| Delay |
I really don't
know, whether I should program this in the future! |
| Dist |
Unfortunately
not supported thru GM and GS! |
| PCF |
Two filters? TB
and PCF at the same time? Forget it!! |
| Compressor |
Rocks only with
'real' audio stuff! |
Tone/Tune/Decay/Snappy
of both TRs |
Sorry, but you
can overdo things! |
| Pattern
less then 16 steps! |
No logic found!
Read Fred's statement!
"Well, there isn't much logic in that actually, it doesn't work quite like people
seem to want it to. In pattern mode it sounds fine but in song mode it always becomes 16
steps anyway." |
Listen to the MIDI samples!
Check out yourself the MIDI
examples done with ReMaker and listen to the possibilities with your GM/GS soundcard!

I spent ca. 150 hours for
coding ReMaker! But I don't want any money for ReMaker, because I wanna share my passion
with y'all!
All I want to know is, who uses ReMaker in the world! Thanx, and I will update ReMaker
from time to time! (if it's buggy or so...;) ) |
