[Liverpool] Linux Multimedia Studio

[Jérôme Fuselier]

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 :) ).

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.
