Cakewalk Plasma 2003  

Plasma is the new way to compose, edit and remix dance tracks on your PC. Finger-tip control of audio loops and MIDI data combine with the innovative DJ FXPad controller to give you a unique way to make your music come alive.

Everything you need

Unlike many dance music packages, Plasma gives you a full set of musicians tools, letting you express yourself to the full, rather than just making 'Music-by-numbers'.

"Plasma is less than 40 quid, and constitutes a stunning package of music creation tools and a quality sample CD as well. You just can't go wrong."

In More Detail


Designed for dance music

Plasma contains everything you need to create any style on dance music - it turns dance music fans into dance music producers! It's also great for remixing your favourite tracks and for adding soundtracks to video files.

Loop heaven

Because it's based on SONAR, you've got an amazing amount of control over loops and samples. Load a drum beat, for example, into your project and with a single click Plasma will detect the sample's tempo and adjust it to fit the bpm of your track. This not only means that any sample can be used in any project (90 bpm hip-hop grooves will slide right into a 140 bpm house track), but it also makes remixing whole tracks easier than ever before.


Plasma lets you edit audio, create your own analogue synths and soundtrack your own videos

The unique Plasma FX DJ plug-in
Imports 'Acidised' loops

Plasma reads loops created for Acid which contain data about a sample's tempo and pitch. Plasma also creates its own version of 'Acidised' loops called Groove Clips. Using these loops whole tracks can be created using only a handful of samples - take a bass line, stretch it across your whole composition and then place pitch markers that transpose the bass line into the key of your choice.

Joystick controlled DJ effects

The Plasma DJ FXPad is the world’s first joystick-controlled multi-effects plug-in for the PC. It’s a whole new way to interactively mix sound and create DJ effects. You simply move a standard PC joystick or mouse to "morph" audio tracks with dozens of multi-effects presets. Every move of the joystick or mouse generates an effect in real time, and can be recorded as part of the mix.

Full MIDI control

Add your own melodies to your remixes and compositions with Plasma's advanced MIDI features. Quickly enter musical data with a MIDI keyboard, or compose and edit tunes with your mouse in the Piano Roll view. MIDI tracks can use the instruments on your PC's sound card, an external sound module or can drive DXi soft synths, like the DreamStation analogue synth (included with the package), perfect for creating fat squelchy basses or scintillating sweeping pads.

DreamStation DXi

DreamStation DXi recreates the sounds of analog-style synthesizers, modeling analog circuits and oscillators. It's like having a vintage hardware synth worth thousands of dollars right in your PC.

Triangle II DXi

The ultimate choice for bass and lead sounds, Triangle II DXi features uncompromised sound quality, incredible flexibility, and extensive tweakability.

Soundtracks for video files

Plasma lets you create, edit and dub video soundtracks for any digital video movie file. Whether you're building a soundtrack from the ground up, or adding sound effects to a home movie you'll find the tools you need in Plasma.

Pyro Express

Remixers can use Pyro Express to rip tracks from audio CDs into .WAV files that load straight into Plasma. Pyro Express also lets you burn your finished projects straight to CD, or converts them to WMA. compressed audio files for sharing over the internet.
