The developers, Propellerhead Software, have gone on to make the popular synth program Reason. Both Rebirth and Reason also support controls from MIDI input.

I can - barely - understand that some <b>very</b> short sequences of sounds coming out of this thingie could be used in an electro-something song, but the constant streams of noise in the videos sound like something Satan would force upon the most wretched souls in the lowest levels of hell. That said, your mention of Jean-Jacques Perrey reminded me that it's been a while since I had a dose of <a href="http://whatyouseewhenyoudie.ytmnd.com" rel="nofollow">Brazilian Flower</a>, so I've been staring at that cat for the past 20 minutes. Aaahh... my brain thanks you. I don't see how anyone would want to willingly endure the torture of listening to this.
