Dynamic Creation Tools

Optimized Real-time Audio Engine

With Version 2, Project5’s audio engine has been optimized to stand up to the real-time rigors of live performance.

New UI

Project5 Version 2 sports a streamlined user interface with all views and tools integrated to provide the most intuitive workflow possible.

GrooveMatrix™

Allows for real-time triggering of individual MIDI patterns or audio loops, or groups of patterns and loops. This turns Project5 itself into an instrument that lets you compose while you perform, offering a very gratifying experience where you arrange your music spontaneously. Provides live control via MIDI remote control, and you can populate cells with audio clips and MIDI patterns without any disruption to the audio engine.

Track Inspector

Gives you immediate access to the features you need for each track: instrument, effects, and arpeggiator settings; device chain presets; routing and control parameters

Advanced synth layering and keyboard mapping

Quickly set key and velocity ranges on any track to combine synths or trigger them at specific times. Perform and record using multiple MIDI controllers routed to multiple instruments, or use multiple, layered instruments, or split synths from one MIDI controller.

Everything is automatable

Automate every mix, synth, and effect parameter in Project5 for accurate and hands on control of your mix. Make changes on screen or use learn mode for quickly and intuitive control from hardware surfaces and MIDI devices. Use Tap Tempo to quickly sync Project5 up to other audio sources—perfect for jamming.

Powerful Sequencing and Recording

Pattern Editor

Pattern EditorThis dual-mode view doubles as a piano roll and step sequencer to provide a fast and extensive beat-making and pattern editing environment. Provides intuitive tools for creating flam, legato, and gating effects. Superimposes track, effect, and instrument automation with note data. Offers step- and real-time recording.

Audio Looping Tools

Loop EditorClick and drag to roll out tracks using ACID™-format loops that match your project tempo and pitch changes. Features automatic beat matching, flexible time stretching/pitch shifting, and support for multiple loops per track. Use the loop Editor to take your beats and loops to new worlds with the smoothest loop integration to date: offers per-slice control of effect automation, pitch, pan, and gain. Export ACID-format loops.

Pattern Browser

Preview audio loops and MIDI patterns in tempo with your project, then drag to Arrange Pane to roll out tracks, or GrooveMatrix for triggering. Includes hundreds of useful patterns and loops.

Audio Recording and Editing

Add vocals, guitars, and other physical instruments to your songs to create that finished project.
