[@RGudmetalhead]

Look mum, 3 computers.

[@eksunflower]

this channel name is a scam... there are computers 😥unsubscribing... 🤡

[@thepuma77]

What’s a computer?

[@robertbruce7686]

😂

[@eksunflower]

🤔 🧠⏲ 💡 This channel is mod 3... 0 = 3 (mod 3) 😌

[@cinderwolf32]

​@@thepuma77 perfect response lmao that commercial was dumb

[@dcorbin5779]

Sam is both vintage and garage while still staying on the crest of the wave that is what we call electronic music. It's fantastic to watch

[@richardpaige7915]

DIY genius. What this dude does with a drill, soldering iron and salvage gear is beautiful and inspiring. If this was college, I would take all of his classes.

[@Hainbach]

Absolutely fantastic, mate! Looking forward to the music you make with this

[@scratchanitch]

Give this man a Grammy

[@martinsilbernagl2496]

Give his nan an Emmy!

[@funguy4290]

Give this man a spoon and a violin string!

[@MrKylederp]

Give him a granny

[@flekkzo]

If you give him a Grammy I bet he will end up making some music with it:)

[@AN-ix9lg]

k-gramms!

[@chriswood426]

This is ace now, can you imagine how insane this set up would have been 20 years ago

[@BeTheAeroplane]

While a little less elaborate than this, people were doing similar things when this and similar software were the easiest ways to get into music. It wasn't completely out of the ordinary for 2 people to bring their family PCs to a rave and just jam all night.

[@infesticon]

​@@BeTheAeroplane aye look at some Justice in the 90s, Two Amiga computers and got into the pop charts.

[@BeTheAeroplane]

@@infesticon I think that kind of shit is amazing. The start of the true revolution of getting music creation out of the hands of gatekeepers who want you to mop floors for 5 months before they'll even let you touch a fader.

[@Alkatross]

​@@BeTheAeroplane I used to do this with hammerhead and fruityloops

[@BeTheAeroplane]

@@Alkatross That's sick!

[@lesynthlofi]

Steve Reich on ReBirth! LOVE IT! Man, so much fun was had back in the ReBirth early days - still remember when new skins came out! Great video, as usual.

[@althejazzman]

Yes I heard big Steve Reich vibes on this.

[@alexanderkonczal3908]

Came down to comment this, then realized someone else probably already had the same thought. Scrolled for a sec, and sure enough...

[@Mellonote]

Sir, you SPECIFICALLY promised mother this wouldn't happen.

[@Kaelygon]

You know you are too early when youtube only has 360p option

[@JanWalzer]

you mean: "When 360p was the 'High Quality" option"

[@mechanicom]

Talk about breathing life into an old dog! Rebirth never sounded so fresh! Nice one ❤

[@bricelory9534]

Absolutely love the polyrhythmic experiments! Just speaks right to my heart! ❤

[@achimaufachse5925]

Rebirth and Reason changed my life back in the days. Long long nights making music instead of homeworks for school.

[@JKVisFX]

Man, I remember my ReBirth days many, many moons ago. I also owned a number of those original iMacs as well. Now, as of Tuedsay, 13.06.2023, I will be purchasing an M2 Ultra Mac Studio. Even in it's base configuration, it is one hell of a powerful computer.

[@repeatdefender6032]

This man is a wizard and you can't convince me otherwise.

[@MrMMeijer]

Right there at 09:14 untill 12:25 (thats called a song) you got magical heat coming off your system, just love it! ❤

[@tomahzo]

Either that, or maybe one or two of those old iMacs desperately need to be recapped :D :D. I expected at least one of them to blow a cap at any moment during that video! ;)

[@contrabone10]

Back in the day, I used Rebirth to teach synthesis and sequencing in an after school music program , along with an ancient program called Freestyle. This led me to be a beta user for the first version of Reason, which I still love and use today. I love that you built an analogue controller for Rebirth, a digital clone of analogue Roland 303,808, and 909. Brings me totally back to see and hear Rebirth after all these years- keep it going!❤

[@Kyle-xv5kv]

I've got 4 of those bloody iMac G3's knocking about, this looks like a well fun use for them!

[@DJWESG1]

I swear down you are third aphex twin removed at rebirth.

[@nmd7142]

I first learnt to use rebirth on the original G3 iMac I bought from a friend. He had Mac OS 8.6 installed with the original version 1.0 of rebirth, this allowed the iMac to run up to 3 Instances of rebirth to open and play all at once. It was so cool. Just had to hit play on each perfectly to get them all in sync. I miss that old machine.

[@iixorb]

I feel privileged to have seen you on this journey since you started it, and the livestream on Sunday. This is sounding incredible. Kind of a mellow feel to it. Trippy. The seeds of a new album!

[@timchorzempa6637]

@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER, you're so totally creative! It's like someone spliced together Bob Moog's technical and engineering skills with both the synthesist and vocalist of a 1980s synth pop duo with a post punk band. I love it so much how hands on you are with your music. You basically DESIGN an instrument, BUILD IT and then PLAY IT. Wow!

[@xsm5525]

rebirth has a unique sound that can't be replicated with new tech.

[@h2o1969]

I love you taking what is essentially trash and making it work... Out. Joan's organ, these iMacs, the whole darn museum. Brovo! I just love it.

[@funguy4290]

It's not scraping up old crap and making it good. It's catching things at the right stage of entropy, and making the best thing it could be. You're remaking the thing before it is history. Extra time for beauty.

[@evanbarnes9984]

I was playing with Rebirth a lot in 2003 alongside Reason 2.5, and you've made the memory of my 13 year old self so damn stoked! I would have had my mind blown by this set up back then, and it's no less amazing now

[@backacheache]

Imagine being a club where the six channels (three stereo outputs) are fed to individual speakers around the audience with synchronised lighting and visuals. On perhaps a section of museum dedicated to retro multitrack audio formats

[@stevenyemc]

I love my RB-338 and Reason 5 setup. My Yamaha 01X mixer is on its way back to me after 15 or so years. Yay

[@veedubzz88]

Simply AMAZING!!!... I have no words, This brought me back to when i first watched the movie "hackers" we all know it!!!... man your awesome!!! and THANK YOU!!!!

[@VinylWave11]

Brother you are one of the most interesting people on You Tube and I mean that as a very big compliment. You are very awesome. I love all of you ideas. You would be so fun to spend time with. All of your work looks very fun! Thank you as always

[@joshuagies4900]

Oh man... the sound of disk activity on those really takes me back...

[@MarcelBest]

Sam, what a creation! That flashed me the most (so far) compared to your always creative things you do. You’ve got so much talent. Thanks for sharing this!

[@TobyBorrow]

I used a virtual midi device to slave Acid 1.0 to Rebirth and ran each on their own sound card. Such a wonderful program your doing justice.

[@TobyBorrow]

And yes get quick on those hot keys. I’d make my own acid tapes for my car I’d play on drives. The keys are really you can get very fluent on

[@McTroyd]

Sam, if you'd done this back when those machines were popular, you'd have been all over American tech press, and might have even scored a shout-out from Jobs himself. This has the makings of a new-retro orchestra, with people manning the machines, and you on your console, conducting. My old iMac has been sitting in a dusty closet for a while now -- maybe I should see about fixing its power supply finally. 👍

[@DNHarris]

Those three iMacs sounded almost as cool as my old Amiga 500!

[@magicknight8412]

This was bloody brilliant! The look was so cool and artistic, it sounded amazing and had such a cool otherworldly retro feel and vibe to it.

[@1RebelDog1]

still sounds amazing to this day, rebirth is timeless :)

[@markedis5902]

9:15 reminders me so much of gigging back in 1986

[@verybenjaminlife1507]

Wow. I can't help but be so impressed with what this guy is doing here. He is definitely giving viewers a chance to see as an example how far the classic discontinued Propellerhead Rebirth software could be taken.

[@Pulecocz]

This man deserves to go back in time to blow people's minds. Very cool project and lovely chill acid, thanks. Have you thought about replacing Imacs with something simpler that would run rebirth? It could be something cool, not really cheaper, but more reliable, maybe.

[@stoatystoat174]

9:40 Love it, sounds so organic for a bunch of computers

[@T3RRAFORM]

I would have loved this back when the software was released. I used to have to record the tracks I wrote onto cd then DJ with early CDJs.

[@spadger9122]

The beast starts drifting . Organic tech .

[@Del-Lebo]

dreams in and out of my 57 year old synthelctic brains! Cheers you mad lad!😝🥰

[@GiantsOrbiting]

This is absolutely incredible!!!!

[@HighDefBNG]

That, was, epic! The changing chords tune hit all the right bits for me. Great sound.

[@phyxirian]

This seems like a lot of fun to figure out. As someone who is bored playing Ableton on a laptop, I've bought some synths. This is just next level to me. Simple in idea, complex in execution but brilliant and usable on stage.

[@PocketOperatorGuy]

That's a freaking sweet setup! Beautiful Rebirth Magic!

[@loopinnerthe]

This now makes sense. All the hard work to build the controller for one machine seemed harsh, for multiple computers its a fabulous idea. Sam you never disappoint us... If ever the museum business dries up I reckon you could always drive a supertanker or control a nuclear power station instead...

[@snigwithasword1284]

Surreal how pleasing this was.

[@esbjornakesson3412]

The groooove! And the sound is so warm. Brilliant!

[@mr_sneakybeat]

lookmumoldcomputer

[@skate323k137]

Well this saves me the trouble of making the Macintosh Symphony Orchestra, well done good sir.

[@tinman2420]

i freakin love rebirth.

[@djalienprime]

RB-338 never sounded like this before. Now it found it's REAL purpose through decades. The Time Has Come.

[@francesarpaia]

Awesome! Some reactive lights in the clear imac cases would look dope.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

I was thinking the same.

[@johanwejedaldesign]

me too! :D

[@JHVE]

This brother has it ALL going on..... man oh man ......

[@adamburgess1287]

All of these projects just make me smile even before I hear the tunes! Lovvvve it!!

[@808v1]

bada$$....esoteric, unusual, and super cool as usual - you spoil us with this kind of content - TY!

[@entheogenetic]

Fun Watch! Thanks for all you do!

[@ConwayBob]

Great! Thanks for this interesting and highly entertaining experiment, Sam. This is what keeps me coming back to your channel.

[@MindlessTurtle]

Love that vintage sound.

[@dazl7954]

I love this guy, it is amazing what he does with old tech, and what he creates and the end part. keep it up. look fwd to the next.

[@ChristianBehnke]

Oh man, love it so much. ReBirth was one of my favourite programs to sit and play, tweaking knobs endlessly…

[@welshrider6631]

So happy to see your livestream, seeing your ideas slowly (and sometimes painfully) taking shape.

[@kevincolyer]

Makes me smile!

[@CausticCatastrophe]

This is like the coolest computer lab at school ever. One thing you could exp with for the other two computer drums repacks is use sweetener samples or chords if it allows long enough sample length. :)

[@travisguide4516]

Beautiful when something comes together like this truly beautiful use of e waste

[@morris7025]

Another amazing production - not to mention the music! LOVE IT

[@johnbecker8768]

Fantastic. Awesome. Spectacular. Cool.

[@MrMoxx02]

this is just out of this world awesome

[@prankmeteors1203]

Lack of space in my apartment is the only thing stopping me from grabbing an old iMac & digging out my ReBirth install CD. Can't wait to see the mods.

[@LK-zd2mc]

Brilliant mate, love your experiments!!

[@ZakLeek]

Look Mum 3 COMPUTERS!! This sounded so cool, I loved how the different computers wen tin and out of sync with each other. Thanks so much for showing this off!

[@johanwejedaldesign]

totally and utterly awesome, as usual!

[@23Gears]

This was one of my favourite vids for a while Sam. Gave me a bunch of ideas for sequencing tricks on my modular. Cheers for the inspiration!

[@vegardyrnes1793]

WOW! and, just.... WOW!!! INSPIRATION BIG-TIME!!!

[@Vladimir1994]

Bro that's absolutely marvelous

[@korrigandelombre8850]

Incredible beautifull signals passing into all these wire. Fantastic 👍

[@davidyates748]

God that has so much promise. That freeform session was absolutely my jam!

[@sphnixen]

The one at 11 was some next level, great vibes !

[@Stilhedmusic]

Genius.. love it.

[@HolonPT]

Just amazing! Rebirth Magic!

[@verbos2000]

This didn't have me until around 8 min, but then.... maybe it was the single 909 clap. I was hooked. Love your controller.

[@platypushatstand]

Truly an electronic wizard ❤

[@OG_Mereles]

Who would have thought such expired technology would make such sick beats! ♥

[@djantix1200]

Mind blown...AGAIN!!

[@mattapple2105]

Awesome, this is really cool, great job, well done mate !

[@makeperceive]

I miss my teal eMac, I miss MacOS 9, and I miss Rebirth. Thanks for the memories

[@TheDistur]

Cool as heck and I love the spacey sounds.

[@klassisch3039]

Wow that is such a good jam! ❤

[@PopeCop]

I'm loving this on a level that is hard to describe.

[@aaronparys1750]

Another awesome Rebirth episode… Thank you!

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

9:40 - Sounds like a Feverray song. Very nice.

[@dylanh2591]

I love how you just go for your ideas !

[@Colin_Ames]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@computer_toucher]

As a Rebirth fanatic since it came out this is the most beautiful and interesting project

[@kibutsukun]

man, a live with this set up... god yes

[@garystevens6831]

You are an unorthodox uncanny touch of genius!

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Marvellous result 🤖

[@KattKirsch]

Love this! Using the modpacks the other drumkits would easily be samplers for vocal hits, risers, etc!

[@continuummusic220]

fantastic work. so many nostalgic feels 😢
