what you just described is a programmable arpeggiator, many vst synths have it, for example Arturia's ARP-2600V, and I believe Linplug's Albino 2 can do it as well. Z3ta can do it too, but I hate the arpeggiator in z3ta, you have to create a midi file of the sequence and then load it with z3ta (probably the synths only weakness)...

Hi,

Arpeggiators like the one in Albino don't allow you to make real patterns like you could make in ReBirth. In Albino you have 32 steps but then you can only set a play mode like up or up/down etc.., so it's not like you can create a melodic pattern with pitches like in ReBirth.

Essentially I would like to make those Rebirth type patterns, but then be able to transpose them all over the keyboard logically based on which note you play. Which hardware (groovebox?) or software can do this?!

make your pattern...save as wav...recycle it and use it in Dr. Rex in Reason...

that might work...no idea if it can be done any dif. way

By Rebirth, you mean the TB-303, right?? You can do that in Albino.
trust me, you just have to know what you're doing.
Set the Arp Mode to "AsPlayed", go to mod matrix, and select Arpeggiator as source and Main Pitch as the destination, set the modulation factor to +12 or +24 (for one or two octave transposition upwards). If you set it to +24, try lowering the octave of all your oscs by -1, then, when you play middle C on you keyboard, the value of 64 in the arpeggiator is C3, value of 127 is C4, and 0 is C2. And you can transpose this pattern all over the keyboard

I don't know of any midi effects, neither in Live or Cubase that can do exactly what you're talking about, so I guess you'll just have to make with what you've got
