Reason is VERY good (i've been using it extensively ever since v1) however it's not that easy to get TB-303 like sounds out of it. Since Jerome mentioned that he was looking for something similar to the MC-303, ReBirth would have the sonic and sequential capability. As someone who used to own a TB-303 I can attest that the sound of a TB-303 comes from two main sections: The sound generation section (VCO, VCF, Envelope and Accent) and the Sequencer. It's a 50/50 split...the TB-303 trademark bouncy "wow" sound comes from the sequencer as it has slide functions. Then for the typical acid lines, that's where the sound generation makes it's mark. The TB-303 has an unusual -18 dB filter and very unusual envelope and accent characteristics.<div>
<br></div><div>Anyway, that's a bit off topic!</div><div><br></div><div>The good thing is that you can link ReBirth and Reason together, so you can get the best of both worlds :)<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/22 Dan Lynch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:biglynchy@gmail.com">biglynchy@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

It does all the Rebirth stuff and so much more. Maybe Rebirth is better if you have specific needs though. You might not need all the other stuff Reason does. As for audio in WINE, I believe it's pretty good. It just links to ALSA. I've never tried it with JACK but that would be the best option if available, so you can make music with other programs at the same time. Lots of people run VST plugins with WINE and it uses this method. I believe it's quite good.<br>
<br>On a slightly related note. I've just been playing with Spotify the last week in WINE. That's an audio player and relies on the audio interface a lot. It plays perfectly and sounds good. Recording audio into WINE might be different with the latency but playback is fine. I reckon it's worth trying. You'll only be using playback with something like Rebirth anyway.<br>
<br>Good luck with it!<br><font color="#888888"><br>Dan</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 3:30 PM, oscillik <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oscillik@gmail.com" target="_blank">oscillik@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p>ahh then ReBirth would be right up your street then. as far as using in Linux, I would imagine WINE will work...but I dunno how well WINE handles audio stuff.</p>
<p>The sequncing method in ReBirth may take some getting used to though!</p>

The sound was much better on my computer when I tried it "live". This
is probably due to their screencast (or to my bad ears :) ).<br>

Do you manage to use Rebirth under linux ? I don't know TB-303, TR-808
and TR-909 but I played a bit a long time ago with a MC-303 and this is
the kind of sound I'm looking for.</div><p><font color="#500050">
