What?? A Cakewalk product that runs on both Windows and MAC? Is it a sign of the apocalypse? Not really; it’s the Dimension Pro software synthesizer, which combines sampled real instruments with advanced synthesis. A 2-DVD sound library is included, along with 1,500 programs. You can mix and layer up to four stereo parts per program, plus there’s easy editing of graphical envelope generators and LFOs, while multi-stage effects sections and filters deliver production-ready sound. A Vector Mixer provides real-time sound morphing and you can drag-and-drop MIDI into the host application for groove manipulation. Formats include Mac AU and VSTi, and Windows DXi and VSTi.
