Synapse Audio - Orion 8.5 X86 37

Orion began life as a software studio, as opposed to a DAW. It was intended as a means by which pattern-based music could be composed using software instruments. Over the years, it's been filled out with audio recording, studio-style effects, VST support and other niceties suited to full studio productions.

Is it a fully fleshed out DAW? That depends upon your needs. Audio editing is kept to a bare minimum, though you do get basic functions such as normalise and reverse audio. It's nothing like what we've come to expect from, say, Cubase, or even FL Studio, though.

Nevertheless, some pro audio features are now in place, most significantly plug-in delay compensation. If, on the other hand, you prefer working with patterns and cobbling them together into songs, perhaps tossing in a little audio along the way, then Orion will be perfectly suited to your needs - and especially so if electronic music is your bag.

Orion now has Templates, too. Not to be confused with song templates, these are more for plug-ins, and they allow you to save combinations of instruments, routing, effects and keyboard splits, even including MIDI maps and automation. We expect that these will prove particularly useful for setting up audio tracks.

There are also some things missing that we've come to expect from modern music software. For instance, freezing and internal track bouncing are absent, so if you want to render a track to audio, you'll have to render it as a file then import it back in. It's not that big a deal, though, especially considering that freeze functions are arguably less necessary with powerful modern systems.

Audio Recording

Up to 256 audio tracks can be used in Orion. New audio clips are added with a single click into the playlist. Multiple tracks can be recorded simultaneously using the ASIO interface.

The Wavefusion Generator is essentially an updated version of the wavetable-based Wavedream Generator provided in Orion Pro, and has undergone a graphic overhaul. Again, some nice pads and lead sounds are provided amongst the presets. Improvements to the Sampler Generator are mostly under the hood, with program editing now much more comprehensive, and in contrast to Ultran, program creation/editing for the Sampler is documented quite well. The Sampler now also loads Akai S5000/S6000 formats, and its Recycle-style Groove Slicer can now deal with stereo as well as mono audio files. However, the real advance is the presets provided on the CD-ROM, which include various acoustic instruments, pads, percussion, synths and basses. While the selection is fairly modest in number, what is here demonstrates that the Sampler is a perfectly capable unit. Soundfont programs are widely available for download via the Internet, so users could easily expand this collection.

Like Pro, the Platinum version of Orion does include an Audio Generator, but the functionality is still fairly limited. Essentially it allows pre-recorded audio files to be played back alongside the rest of the arrangement but, as no audio recording is possible, if you want to add more than just a few pre-recorded vocal samples, then you are going to need some other software environment to complement Orion. This said, the same is also true of Reason. be457b7860
