I maxed out my G4 Cube with an SSD, ATI card and a Sonnet Encore CPU to push it to 1.25Ghz — To this date still my most inspiring machine and just lovely for the occasional ReBirth session.
- rocketbop 3y agoFor the majority of readers who probably won’t know what that is, ReBirth was a soft synthesiser that was the precursor to Propellerheads Reason, one of the most famous DAWs.

- eyelidlessness 3y agoReBirth was also notable for modeling its original functionality off of real hardware: two Roland 303s and an 808 (hence the full name ReBirth RB-338); they later added the 909. And if I recall, 808 sample patches were originally a community hack, but Propellerheads later embraced the concept (also for the 909), supporting audio patches along with GUI skins in later releases. I suspect this is part of what inspired the direction they took with Reason.
- jwells89 3y agoThe G4 desktops are all pretty cool machines. One of these days I’d like to get ahold of a Quicksilver/MDD motherboard and see if I can figure out a way to fit it into a modern ATX case. The original tower cases were neat but not great in the airflow or noise departments, and with a growing number of G4 original PSUs failing it’s useful to be able to house a standard ATX PSU without case hacks.
