WHAT ABOUT PC SPECS? I'VE A P100.16MEG RAM AND A AW32 SOUNDCARD. DON'T THINK I'VE GOT DIRECT X . HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE A DIRECT X DRIVER INSTALLED AND IF SO DOES THIS CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS?

anyhow....it wouldn't sync...so against my better judgement, I downloaded & installed thier special midi driver, which they said would guarantee that more than 2 programmes could comunicate .....so I nstalled it....and it did sync...but strangely, the rebirth hogged the audio drivers....so icouldn't get any audio from the sync'd programme.....that was the first bummer...cos i cant run the pc midi & h/d software outputing audio whilst the rebirth is up...
?
but then came the worst.....the midi drivers i installed proceeded to overide ant sysex sends so now I cant select sounds or worst....turn off internall sounds on the soundcard....absolute bummmer......so I went to rid the system of the driver....WHAT!!!,,,....they are not listed in the system......despite being installed & working they just do not appear in the "Sound,video & game controlller" section....DESPITE BEING INSTALLED THERE....
so thats as far as I got....my pc's midi system is fucked.....brillliant....anyhow, I emailed propellorheads with a grrrrrrrrrr email....now I'm real suspicious, cos NO programmes that are any good should do this.....I'm waiting for a reply...and hope I can sort it out.....
anyone else have problems with the programme hogging audio or the driver shagging the midi system???....I never had these problems with other programmes except for that bloody Koan rubbish !!!.....

Alot of newer users are not going to find this
....so I think it would be very wise for Steinberg/Propellorheads
to include an Uninstall.exe file so users can easily rid
the system of these drivers & the programme.....also
....why are these midi drivers invisible to the win system lists.....??
....now we just have these 2 problems...Rebirth will be a
complete failure if you cannot run other audio with it
......then we've got the midi screwing problem
....basically....it was overiding or diverting any
sysex data going from either the sysex writing
programmme, or sysex sent from the sequencer to the
DB50XG......these definately need sorting out I guess,
because whats the point of being able to clock the
rebirth to your programmme, if then you looose your vocal
audio , or whatever audio is needed....
So....I'd say....great little freebee programme for making some 303 lines and recording them to your sampler or dat......but you cannot seriously charge 200 quid for this unless these problems are sorted.....this is not a dig at proppelorheads alone.....But I just find it incredible that companies can release software with such rediculously obvious faults, and yet how can they not have seen this problem after a few test runs....especially simple stuff like the drivers not showing up in the system lists.....I just cant figure how no-one could have seen this........

bought the full product and can they give their opinion
on its worth and shortcomings?
The latest demo has an uninstall programme Kilo,so
they must have listened!!!!!
The price is £145 new,not £200.

The Rhythm section sucks big time even if you put it through a compressor and an enhancer.
Kilo is correct in saying one should stream to disc.
The two 303s are great, What more can I say...
