You’d get closer to the Rebirth sound with individual instruments and a small mixer

Rebirth had delay send fx and that cool PCF pattern filter thing. You could easily put together a small eurorack case that does this

Would make a cool side project

In reply to Tommy. Microtoniq is excellent. I can vouch for that. So versatile.

People are always asking for Behringer to knock of this and to knock off that….

But what I think would be cool is if they would make a hardware version of Propellerhead ReBirth.

Two 303’s and an 808 in a single box. Based on the prices of their 303 and 808 knockoffs, it seems like they could do it for around $600, and it would be a hit at that price.

I had the 808 and 909. The 909 was my all-time favorite drum machine for many years. I also had lots of other drum machines, from Elektron and many other, both all-analog and digital. I also used the Microtoniq and other soft synths/drums a lot.
The TR-1000 is the mother of all drum machines, the greatest ever, in my view, after using it a month.
Now, if they could just make it with a real analog 303 built in…
And also, please make a firmware update that will allow the machine to stay in exact same mode when turned on as it was when turned off. Other manufacturers do that nicely, so why do tr-1000 jump to initial pattern when turned on, forgetting everything that was going on before last shutdown? That seem a bit corny in 2026.
