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.
