Coming out when ReBirth was climaxing in the late 90’s this would’ve been my choice OVER ReBirth by far & at a savings as well…

The built-in DreamStation Synth was quite phenomenal for the time & still sounds good now…NOW!! It has always garnered high praise & ratings at KVR-

Soon after licensed to Cakewalk for a time then after that released as a freeware DXi plugin by Audio Simulation what in 2008 or something…

I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT SOUNDED BEST IN THE TRACKER!!..conspiracy perhaps…

Doing a fair business back in 1999-2001 selling at $89.00 there was plenty of talk about DreamStation II…But…BUTT!!..It would not happen till late 2007!!..By that time everybody went everywhere else…

Even today with all the ReBirth nostalgia going on I always suggest DreamStation I as a much better alternative sonically & visually as ReBirth easy enough to make a BWomp-BWomp-BWomp-BWomp-BWomp-BWomp tune but a complex one you gotta take NOTES on what you are doin’ on what patterns as there is no tracker view whereby you can see a range of notes being triggered on numerous tracks…Uhhh, BETTER!!

Nowadays the higher rez screenz make the tracker ‘smaller’ so harder to see pattern info…ReRezing screen a pain & make other stuff not work right. I use a magnifier called FatBits to project a view window of where I am working-

The DreamStation I page on the wayback is here (Jan 2001)-

DreamStation : a little big masterpiece at the dawn of the "Native Revolution", 20+ years ago...

Sincere congrats to the original Audio Simulation devs.
