People, Propellerheads clearly labels ReBirth as an EMULATOR. That means it's close to the real thing, but you must have the real thing to enjoy the real thing! Why are so many people trying to say it doesn't sound like a real 808 or 909 or 303. Go spend close to or over $1000 on each piece of vintage gear and then you can say it sounds like a real 808, 909, or 303. Other than that, for around $100 you have a software synth that can't be touched! Don't buy ReBirth and then put it down because it keeps playing the same old drum sounds or synth sounds. Duh! That's what it's suppose to do. You wouldn't buy a BMW and then say, well it can't run under water. Duh! that's not what it's supposed to do! People, just use some common sense.
You can take a pattern in ReBirth and run it through something to give you a different sound. That's what professionals do anyway! I personally don't know of any professional producers that record tracks from some type of instrument (keyboard, MPC, etc.) that don't use any type of signal processing, whether it's compression, reverb, flange, chorus, eq, filters, or whatever, that's what gives you a unique sound. Millions of people own the same type of keyboard and drum machine. So what makes your sound different than mine? Processing. What better, and more simpler way to produce dance tracks than with a tool like ReBirth used in conjunction with other midi gear.
Please people, don't keep making stupid excuses, just make music! No, I don't use ReBirth for all of my dance tracks, but I have used it and do currently use it, and sometimes I get more inspiration playing with ReBirth than I do looking at all of my midi gear and thinking about what type of groove can I come up with!
