Pattern Master is a Windows 95/98 utility to edit patterns of ReBirth song files. Pattern Master offers several features that make editing patterns for ReBirth much easier than in ReBirth itself.

The current version is 1.01

ReBirth is a trademark of Propellerheads Software. Thanks to Propellerheads for ReBirth ! Visit them at www.propellerheads.se.

There is no Macintosh version of Pattern Master. A conversion is not planned at the moment.

After some time of editing patterns in ReBirth I thought it would be nice to have some kind of piano roll view like in Cakewalk or other sequencers to edit ReBirth patterns. No matter how cool it is to edit patterns the same way like on an original Roland TB-303 I thought I needed some more convenience. This is how I got the idea for Pattern Master. Once I found the .RBS file format description on the Propellerheads website I decided to go for it.

So here it is. It is serving me for a while and I thought there might be other ReBirth users who'd like to use it. Check it out:
