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. -- Jon Drukman / jsd@gamespot.com
