| This document contains the final list of the changes and improvements common to both platforms, as well as those specific to Mac and specific to Windows. |  |

Changes for Mac and Windows 1. ReWire now manages loop range and loop on/off settings, so that loop settings are always in sync between ReBirth and Cubase VST.2. When using ReWire, you can now change the Tempo from either application. 3. 303 emulation switch. In version 2.0, improvements were made to the 303 emulation model. This involved changes to the amplitude envelope release. Since it has turned out that many users miss the 1.0/1.5 style amplitude envelope, a switch has been added to the Edit menu. This switch allows the user to select between exactly the same 303 sound that was in version 1.5 ("Vintage") and the 2.0 style sound. This switch is saved on a per song basis which means that Songs created with version 1.5 will automatically be opened with the switch in "Vintage" mode. New Songs have this switch set to the 2.0 mode. However, the user can flip the switch at any time to select between the two types of sound. 4. There is now a "Run Benchmark" item on the File menu that allows you to test whether your computer is fast enough to run ReBirth. 5. Holding down [Shift] when turning a control, now makes the control move in smaller steps (fine tune). 6. Deleting notes in real time from the keyboard is now done by holding down [Shift] and [Tab]. 7. There is now MIDI Remote Control of Shuffle. 8. There is now a keyboard shortcut for "Copy touched controls to loop". 9. Under certain conditions, a punch out operation in Song mode could accidentally change existing events after the punch out point. This has been fixed. 10. Under certain circumstances, invoking the Copy Touch Controls function could lead to changes in recorded song events or to a program crash. This has been fixed. 11. In version 2.0, changes were made to the pitch of the 808 Tom sounds, to make the pitch range more similar to the real 808. However, this caused songs created in version 1.5 to play back with incorrect pitches. This has been fixed so that the songs always play back correctly, regardless of which version that was used to create the Song. 12. A Copy and Paste problem in Song mode has been fixed. 13. Some problems with the MIDI Remote Control have been fixed. 14. Some Pattern mode parameters were not saved with the Song file. This has been fixed. 15. Patterns with lengths other than 16 steps now play back as in version 1.5. 16. Shuffle now works on odd Pattern lengths. 17. In version 2.0, 909 Crash and Ride levels were saved as one parameter only. This has been fixed. 18. Songs created in version 1.5 or earlier now play back with the correct distortion settings. 19. Mixer level changes are now smoother. 20. Some figures regarding MIDI Remote Control were wrong in the 2.0 documentation. A new, corrected, Acrobat document is included with ReBirth 2.0.1. |

| Changes for Mac 1. You can now use OMS together with ReWire.2. Sound Buffer note: It is very important that you follow the instructions for adjusting the buffer size setting, in the Preferences dialog! How to do this is described in the Operation Manual that is installed together with the program. If you fail to adjust the buffer, the sound might be distorted or ReBirth might be unnecessarily slow in reacting to changes you make on the front panel. The reason this adjustment has to be done manually is due to a problem with some versions of the Macintosh Operating system, where the buffer size can't be detected, automatically. |

| Changes for Windows 1. ReWire is now included in the Windows version.2. On some Windows systems, the Upgrade version of ReBirth 2.0 incorrectly asked for the 1.0/1.5 CD on a regular basis - not just once after installation or system reconfiguration. This has been fixed. Some other irregularities regarding the copy protection have also been ironed out. 3. Some systems reported a missing "msvcrt.dll" on startup. This file is now included in the installation. |
