I've seen and used Rebirth (the demo version, ofcoz) and I thought it was
a cool program...I immediately became aware of the "one-knob-at-a-time"
handicap, which really irked me....then there's the hefty price tag for
the full version ($200?!). Although it's incredibly fun, it seems very
impractical at this stage to be attempting any serious composition using
Rebirth...

The above is the URL for the Impulse Tracker homepage -- Impulse Tracker
being a program (freeware, actually) for your PC that has no limit on the
size of the samples you use, and supports many sample formats. In
addition to that, if you've got the soundcard and cpu muscle, IT can
handle 64 simultaneous tracks of CD-quality (meaning you sampled ya shit
at 44.1kHz) audio. Impulse Tracker is the beefed up cousin of Scream
Tracker, the program responsible for each and every ".s3m" you've ever
seen. If you have ANY desire at all to write electronic music, and you
don't consider your compositions quite worthy of $2000 equipment yet, go
download Impulse Tracker.
