Yeah, but I wouldn't wanna do a live set with nothing but a computer and a
fucking mouse to twiddle over. That would be boring to me and boring to
watch, I bet.

that's merely a problem of interface design. i could build a box that
looked exactly like a 303 but simply used the physical knobs to
twiddle the rebirth knobs on screen. (well, i couldn't PERSONALLY
build it, but it could be done.)

Well I just went to the Propellerheads website to look for any updates,
and it appears as if they have semi fixed this 'interface problem.'
Thet are about to release Rebirth 1.5, which now includes:
"At last, the days of the awkward mouse-control interface are over. Knobs,
faders and buttons can now be remote controlled via MIDI, either from
external devices such as synths, MIDI fader panels, hardware sequencers -
or from any sequencer program on your computer. A 'learn' function allows
you to do quick and easy MIDI setups for the most commonly used faders and
knobs. To get full MIDI access to everything on the main screen, you'll
have to follow the ReBirth MIDI Specification which will be found in the
new on-line manual. Drool... you can't wait to tweak the Reso and Cutoff
controls simultaneously. Admit it."
Plus, they added a new 'PCF' module, not normally found on the real 303 or
808 I believe, which makes some awesome distortion effects! (hear their
sample).
The 1.5 update is free to cirrent 1.0 owners! Yippee!
peace
