Project 5
Project5 goes beyond stand-alone soft-synth “rack” software by providing a complete, flexible production 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. The Project5 soft synth workstation includes a polyphonic analog-modeling synth, professional sampler, drum synthesizer, sampling drum machine, and a groove sampler. The Project5 sequencers allow real-time and step-recording, as well as piano-roll style editing and step sequencing. Project5 also provides advanced capabilities for synth layering, keyboard mapping, real-time pattern triggering, an intuitive live-performance audio engine, and ACID™-compatible loop support.
“Project5 breaks significant new ground in music software,” commented Michael Hoover, VP of product marketing for Cakewalk. “There is no other product available today that offers a more complete, more flexible, or more creative environment for sequencing, sampling, and software synthesis. Cakewalk has combined its industry-leading sequencing expertise with advanced soft synth and sampling technology. And with support for multiple plug-in and sample formats, Project5 provides an infinitely expandable studio for the ultimate experience in music creation and experimentation.”

Cakewalk Sonar 2.2
Expanding Support for Windows-compatible Audio Hardware
— Adds support for Windows ASIO drivers, in addition to WDM and MME drivers;
Free 2.2 Download for Registered SONAR 2.x Users —
WINTER NAMM (Booth 6800), Anaheim, CA, (January 16, 2003) — Cakewalk, developer of the leading music and sound software for Windows, has announced that its flagship SONAR audio and MIDI production software will add support for ASIO-compatible audio hardware, in addition to existing support for WDM- and MME-compatible devices. Support for ASIO hardware will be added to SONAR as part of a free 2.2 Update, available to all registered SONAR 2.x customers in early 2003.
Now musicians, producers and engineers using ASIO-compatible audio hardware can expand their PC studios with SONAR's extensive set of digital audio and MIDI production tools. ASIO-compatible hardware includes the RME audio cards, the Creative Labs Audigy™, and Digidesign’s 001™, 002™, Mbox™, and Pro Tools | HD™ products.
SONAR already works with many Windows audio hardware products using WDM and MME drivers, from leading companies including Aardvark, Echo Audio, Edirol/Roland, EGO-SYStems, ESI, Event, Frontier Designs, M-Audio, MOTU, Presonus, Soundscape, Yamaha, and others.
“Extending SONAR’s support to include hardware products like those from RME and Digidesign provides our customers with more choice and flexibility in configuring their PC studios,” commented Michael Hoover, VP of product marketing at Cakewalk. “It also provides an opportunity for customers who own ASIO-based hardware to take advantage of SONAR's extensive suite of audio and MIDI tools, without having to modify their existing hardware or driver configuration.
''Nearly all audio hardware today uses high-performance WDM drivers, the standard built into the Windows OS. A few hardware products support only the older ASIO interface. The 2.2 Update extends SONAR's support to those products, completing the set of choices for our customers,” added Hoover.
Cakewalk's award-winning SONAR is the industry's only digital audio and MIDI production software designed and optimized exclusively for the Windows platform. SONAR offers unlimited digital audio and MIDI tracks; a centralized interface design for improved creative workflow; advanced audio looping and editing tools; ReWire™ 2.0 support; global support for control surface hardware; DXi software synthesizer plug-ins; automatable DirectX 8 audio plug-ins; real-time MIDI FX plug-ins; and ACID™-format audio loops and SoundFont libraries.
In October 2002, the company released a free SONAR 2.1 Update on its web site that adds support for OMFI file exchanges between compatible software like Pro Tools™, Avid™, and Logic™. The 2.1 Update also adds support for the Mackie Control™, allowing musicians and producers to use the popular Mackie surface hardware to control SONAR's recording, editing, and mixing operations.

Very nice, but another 400 ...ugh..I'm out of money, but it looks very impressive, a nice way to complete the whole package I guess.
Moskus how is the driver loading quest?

No new drivers... damn this thing!
But it actually works with no drivers loaded (for some reason), so untill a problem with it is discovered, I'm happy.
Looking forward to the Sonar 2.2 update!

GO PACKERS!
yawn....
This looks like a fantastic piece of software for someone who has none and deals mostly with electronic music.
As for me I have four soft synths I very rarely use and until they can match Gigasamplers quality I have no interest in their sampler.
It's the Taco bell syndrome.....repackage all the same ingredients in a different form and call it something else.
Now I could be wrong(it has happened before
)so will somebody correct me or agree with me?
All I really want now is software effects and amp simulations that don't suck and can match my hardware.
I don't need no steenking Project five workstation.

A Project 5 User's Opinion
Hey "Crosstudio"
I'm not sure why everybody seems to have such a bad opinion of Project 5. I have been using Sonar for 1-1/2 years now, and I love Project 5. For someone who works with loops it is awesome. I've been getting more song ideas in the week I've had Project 5 than I'd had in years. You can just let your loop play, and tweak for hours. The softsynth PSYN is amazing. You can easily set up a few instances of it, and play it with a controler keyboard, and get the phatest, richest analogue sound you can imagine. The plug in effects are very cool too. I've been using those in Sonar, and it has given me a lot of great sounds. So, I recommend you check it out. (And BTW, I don't work for Cakewalk, I'm just a humble hobbiest.)
P.S. I got it for around $250 with the Sonar registered user's price, and the Cakewalk "tell a friend" 10% discount.
Enjoy.

Not Yet, but...
Moskus,
I have at least 10 starts to songs using P5, but none that I would put online yet. I usually tweak my songs for months before I would let anyone hear them, so it may be a while. You can hear some songs I did in Sonar at this site.

Let me know what you think, especially if you like them!
