Serious :-) alert HERESY! I think the real issue here is who gives a fuck? Do even 90% of the people who would ever buy a CD/LP/MD of ANY sort of music even know what a TR-808 or an RB-303 is? Ok, I'll up you one. I absolutely love the sound of those Moog modular synths that took up an entire room. So, every time I hear a Waldorf Microwave (oh yea, I can tell the difference :-) ), I just curl up in a ball and feel like dying. "Fraud!," I scream as tears stream down my face. The TR-808 is"Old Coke" and Rebirth is "New Coke." > >Don't tell me you're trying to say that Rebirth is an accurate emulation of >the 808. It's no better than the R8 Dance/Rap card. (I can confirm this >story BTW. Ae is a big R8 user.
