A Complete Groove Creation Workstation for Windows Computers!

The new Version 2 of Cakewalk Project5 packs even more groove-creation power than before! Project5 has always gone beyond standalone soft-synth "rack" software by providing a complete studio environment. It gives electronic musicians everything they need to experiment, create, and perform music using integrated sequencers, software synths, samplers, audio and MIDI effects, and audio looping tools - all integrated in one workstation. In addition, Project5 provides advanced capabilities for synth layering, real-time pattern genesis and triggering, and a seamless live-performance audio engine. And Cakewalk Project5 doesn't put a limit on your creativity. It lets you customize and expand your studio with additional plug-ins, and it supports any Windows-compatible audio hardware.

Cakewalk Project5 Version 2 at a Glance:

• A complete groove-creation studio in one program
  
• New multi-mode sampling plus built-in VA synths, samplers, and drum synths
  
• Easy-to-use pattern and step sequencers
  
• Use your favorite VST and DirectX instruments and effects!
  
• Outstanding audio quality and comfortable user interface

A complete groove-creation studio in one program!
Project5 is simply everything you need to create and perform today's music. Straight out of the box, you get a complete set of superb quality instruments and effects. But Project5 doesn't stop there - it also includes powerful recording, looping, sequencing, and arranging tools, dynamic creation functions, and support for VST and DirectX effects and ReWire host and client support for integration with Reason, Pro Tools, and other applications.

New multi-mode sampling plus built-in VA synths, samplers, and drum synths
One of Project5 Version 2's additions is the new Dimension multi-mode sampling synthesizer, with over 3GB of professionally recorded content. Cakewalk's association with Roland also pays off in Project5 with the Roland GrooveSynth module, with classic sounds from great Roland synths and drum machines.

Cakewalk Project5 Version 2 Instruments Include:

• Dimension multi-mode sampling synthesizer
  
• PSYN II full-featured subtractive synthesizer
  
• Roland GrooveSynth
  
• DS864 multi-format digital sampler
  
• Velocity multi-layered drum sampler
  
• nPulse analog drum synthesizer
  
• Cyclone DXi groove sampler

Easy-to-use pattern and step sequencers
Also built into Cakewalk Project5 are two sequencers that make creating new grooves quick and easy. The P-SEQ pattern sequencer lets you create and edit music and automation using a flexible "piano roll"-style interface that superimposes track automation with note data. With P-SEQ you can perform both step- and real-time recording. Automation can include track and MIDI data, plus automation for any DXi or audio effect patched. Project5 also includes the SYNCHRON32 step sequencer, a modeled analog sequencer that expands upon classic hardware models. You'll paint synth tracks in no time at all.

Use your favorite VST and DirectX instruments and effects!
And Project5 is expandable - you have the freedom to use hundreds of DirectX and VST plug-ins and instruments. Project5 also imports industry-standard sample formats including ACID WAV, AIF, Akai, Kurzweil, Ogg Vorbis, SoundFonts 2, and WAV. Now as both a ReWire Host and Client, there are even more possibilities to expand Project5 and extend your musical horizons.

Outstanding audio quality and comfortable user interface
Cakewalk Project5's audio engine has been optimized to deliver top-quality sound in real-time use. Project5 Version 2 has been streamlined to put the features you need most - including its larger-than-life sounds - easily in view and right at your fingertips. Project5 delivers the solid real-time performance, stability, and ease of use of traditional hardware music workstations - but, with the additional power, flexibility, and portability of PC software. Cakewalk Project5 Version 2 could be the only music creation software you need!
