I love the modular pattern-based-workflow of orion, it's quite unique. It will be hard to find a replacement.

Try Caustic, seems to have quite similar workflow and has some neat built in instruments. Reminds me a lot of Orion when it first started out.

Ok thanks will try it out, is it possible to use VSTis in Caustic or just the build in synths?

Just the built in ones but it has a good selection (more than Orion actually, although they tend to be simpler).

unfortunately it's not really an alternative for me

I need vst support.

I hope Orion will survive somehow.

Not true actually, not that it matters much

You make what you will with what you wish.

It will be sad the day that Orion officially dies though

I use both btw.

It will cease to survive when it's not supported by Windows anymore.

kinda defeats the object then? the great thing about Orion is the speed with which you can
get VST plugins up+running with it.
note: Mulab Free only runs 4 channels (not expensive though)

The final version hasnt been released yet, its still in beta.

+1 for Caustic, excellent program.

Not really, the original question was about nothing having a similar pattern based workflow. Caustic does. Whether it loads VSTs or not was not what I was responding to. And it's not finished yet anyway, so that may come, but it does have a great selection of internal synths and effects so it may not even need them, for quickly getting into songs it's very easy to get started.

Caustic: what's the MIDI capability like?

Bigwig
Live
FL Studio

Just a few that can do pattern based

Orion should run fine on all current Windows including 10

What's the panic?

Another cool software bites the dust.

I finally decided to upgrade to 8.6. The final price was around $50, so well worth that. I spent a LOT of time in Orion, though it never was exactly what I wanted. It's still great for getting ideas down quickly.
