For the majority of readers who probably won’t know what that is, ReBirth was a soft synthesiser that was the precursor to Propellerheads Reason, one of the most famous DAWs.

ReBirth was also notable for modeling its original functionality off of real hardware: two Roland 303s and an 808 (hence the full name ReBirth RB-338); they later added the 909. And if I recall, 808 sample patches were originally a community hack, but Propellerheads later embraced the concept (also for the 909), supporting audio patches along with GUI skins in later releases. I suspect this is part of what inspired the direction they took with Reason.
