the demo version (which is all that exists right now) doesn't. i would bet
that Propellerheads would be smart enough to either make the full version
more manipulable or (more likely) come out with a separate program that
does more and lets you at the guts of the physical model later on.

I hope you are wrong, because it bodes EXTREMELY well for the future of
synthesis. If a piece of software like this can work and be useful, I am
thrilled to find out what's gonna come down the pipe NEXT year!
Just as a point of information, I used to work for Opcode, a big music
software house. I called all my former colleagues and told them about
Rebirth and they have all been totally stunned by the demo. And these are
people who have "seen it all"...

Not sure what you mean by "housebroken" but I haven't heard a 303 emulator
yet that sounded like the real thing... Well, until I met REBIRTH anyway.
I have been fooling around with the demo for a week now and it is just
uncanny. It absolutely, totally, 100% sounds exactly like a real 303 and
808.
