Music has always been a common thread in my life. As a child, I was already musical and my taste was well-developed.
I have sometimes heard that the best thing you can do in life is make music, so now I have taken that upon myself as a life goal.
When I learned to make music back in 1985, everything was still analog. Consequently, I consciously experienced the transition from analog to digital.
Back then, sampling was still new, and I had a mono 16-bit sampling card for the Atari. Now everything is going back to analog; I experienced that movement very consciously as well. Analog hardware not only sounds natural but also behaves differently than digital. However, it is MIDI-driven, which makes it workable by modern standards.
My studio therefore has the best of both the past and the present, which gives working with it a truly good feeling.
I work with ReBirth RB-338, from the moment (the year 2000), it became freeware. A simple music program, based on 2 x 303 synths, 808 and 909 drum machines. These marked the beginning of the house music and pretty much the basic
for all underground dance music. So I train myself in using ReBirth for quite some time. I also support a ReBirth site and ReBirth FaceBook Group. (see links ReBirth)
I thought it couldn't hurt to try out my musical ideas on freeware like ReBirth first, also hardware would work out too. Now I know that the hardware is very different, but RB is still a good basis to make 303 tunes. If you then apply what you have learned from the hardware, it will give an extra dimension to work with ReBirth. RB can generate separate drum or synth sequences to wav, with or without effects and mixdown in Reason or Cubase, with inputmachine or with ReWire X64. And you also can convert ReBirth file into midi file with ReMaker. (See ReBirth Link Below)
What does it actually mean to hold it in your hand, and that is quite different from a program on a screen. There are many differences, but with reasonable experience with 303 software, that shouldn't be a problem.
The hardest part is getting hold of the right equipment. That takes years, and if you want to buy it at a reasonable price, it takes even more effort. But sometimes things work out, and once I go straight for it, I often succeed. But it shouldn't become an obsession. There was also a constant coming and going of equipment. Often it turns out to be disappointing or simply doesn't meet the best sound standards; in that case, you are better off getting started with good (paid) software. So be very selective, because you also have to learn how to work with it, and every device often has its own limitations. (studio list, see link studio update)
But ultimately, the basic sound in Acid Techno is formed by the 303 & 909. And then in the form of replicas, so the RE-303 & RE-909. I bought that from Sonic Mechanix in 2025 with some extra mods (info see link RE-303 & RE-909), that really finishes it off.
((2016)) I started the Energetic Vortex project, based on my old & new ReBirth tracks. I use Remaker to convert my Rebirth compositions into midi and work it out in Cubase.
((2021)) The foundation for my PC-based Audio/Visual Production Studio is now ready. I have brought together new analogue and digital hardware for my studio, which can do many times more than the analogue studio of the CEM where I used to work. With my new MIDEX midi interface I have a better structure to work.
Also my new mixer is total creazy, the Soundcraft ui24r. Very hightech equipment, with lots of possibilities, it took years, with help of YouTube help video’s, to understand all functions and applications.
((2024)) It took a lot of time to read the manuals and even do some hardware repairs on the RE-303 / TEEBEE / Supernova II Rack. Also sold some moderate equipment.
((2025)) As finishing touch, I bought a RE-303 & RE-909 with extra MODs & upgrades.
((2026)) Everything works well and is tuned & tweaked (More info, see the studio link).
As a trial, to gain experience, I first released 2 CDs with old tracks that I made with ReBirth starting in 2000. So my first CD Rebirthing, is of course made with ReBirth and mixed-out in Reason, with the RB input module. Well it does not work well as I expected, it clearly has difficulty mixing. My second CD StudioTunes is composed with Rebirth, but I used ReMaker to convert to midi-file and worked it out in Cubase. It consists older and new ReBirth tracks. With my third CD AcidLab, the focus is more on working with the analogue and digital hardware, but I still use ReBirth as composer & sequencer. I am trying to complete the entire process from sequence to a professional track.
My goal is to perform at parties once I have collected enough material. I have some experience with performances, even at outdoor locations. By the time my third CD is ready I will have a set to perform with. I have also made the necessary Full HD films, with my own made video art and fractals, that will support my music. The idea is a kind of total experience with decor, light videos and sound.
Unfortunately, there is a lack of a good platform for Underground Music online and the ratings are often low on social media.
It is seen as commercially uninteresting, but people forget that the most modern (dance) music styles originated from Underground music.
I try to startup an Acid Techno network, on social media through support in FaceBook, Twitter & Reddit groups, and I am active on YouTube.
The site has a lot of info and networking possibilities, I hope it will inspire more people to make Acid Music.
With links, info, videos and lists of 303 hardware & software downloads. Network for media & music sites without Acid music genre like SoundCloud and YouTube.
It is difficult to find Acid Techno online and it has usually a low ratings, also there are not many Acid Music related sites. However, there are indeed many articles and a lot of information to be found, albeit in a frag- mented way. This site connects that information to provide a better overview.
