When Propellerhead discontinued Rebirth and created the Rebirth Museum, they pleased a lot of people. Not only those who allready had REASON and the latest computers, also those who some older material could now create some really cool beats and licks with this simulator of the Roland products.

Are there people who are completely satisfied with REASON and wouldn't even bother downloading REBIRTH as well? Yes, most likely there are those people. Propellerhead created a REFILL especially for them. It's available for free download from the Propellerhead website.

The ReFill isn't quite the same as the Rebirth Software. It contains a collection of combinator files wrapped around all the samples from the Rebirth Software as well as the sounds from an impressive list of Rebirth Mods. These mods all had their own skins as well, which have gone lost in the ReFill.

Same goes for the two synthesizers in Rebirth. They're not in the ReFill. Why, oh why did Propellerhead make this ReFill anyway? Are there really people who would consider uploading the Rebirth ReFill to their Reason engine? Well, I wish them good luck.

When you're in need for the Rebirth Sounds, just the sounds, perhaps the ReFill is any good. But for all other purposes, I would truly suggest downloading Rebirth and hooking it up with Reason through the Rebirth Input Machine. You have to get used to Rebirth as a software, you have to create and save your rhythms in Rebirth as well, but good things don't come easy.
