There is Music creator 7, which put me in mind of project 5, but it's only got an 8 instrument limit.

Storm was also over 10 years ahead of propellerhead with a RE like concept. It wasn't open for 3rd parties afaik but the idea of adding devices without having to update the main program was there, iirc.

Coincidentally, Reason after version 6 (fusion with Record) seem to have borrowed the concept with the three windows as well (mixer/devices/sequencer), just flipped around.

Kinetic, Orion, Arturia Storm 3 all had patterns it seems, but sadly none is around anymore. I think it is an interesting topic.

When Bitwig first came out it reminded me of Project 5

I had it. V2 was a VST too and the included instruments and effects were really nice, especially for back then. Actually it WAS a fully-fledged DAW of sorts, albeit somewhat limited (is that a contradiction in itself?).

Kepler was - and still is - pretty novel and perhaps even revolutionary, I think, even if I never used it.

I forgot Arturia had made a wavetable synth of their own before Pigments.

Wasn't really a wave table synth though... more like a Prophet VS or White Noise Audio Zero Vector... i.e. vector synthesis

Weirdly enough Storm 3 was actually the first DAW I ever used. Got an academic version of it back when I was at university, it was... okay, did a track or two, never could really get into it though. Then the next year I got an academic version of Logic Express and haven't thought about Storm much since, until I saw this thread...

If Cake would just make it multicore and 64 bit, I would use if today.

I'm glad Orion has these capabilities. It is still usable today. I should know

I don't get this nostalgia for old DAW's. What's the point? They're not as comfortable, don't use modern technologies, won't run as well on, or don't support modern hardware at all, and the GUI's look like utter crap compared.

Really, boot something like that up today, and surely, your nostalgia will be blown away in a split second.

That's pretty forward thinking for 2005

Not really, Rocket Network was established and had been built in to Logic and Cubase for online cross-platform collaborative working, but it never seemed to catch on - either too clunky, inefficient, and not enough internet bandwidth yet to make people really connect to it - so it ultimately didn't work out - and it looks like they sold Rocket to Avid in 2003, and there it died...

So Arturia were simply adding some "me too" features that looked good at the time.

Indeed. My first major piece of software was C-Lab's Creator (Atari ST) (1992-ish) and it was by far the best sequencer I ever used up until then, and I have super fond memories of it, and was hugely productive in it - and I've been in that ecosystem right up to today's Logic - which I still love.

I don’t see anything forward thinking about that. They were other daws at the time with their own internal plugin formats like Motu. You could also just use VST plugins in Orion.

Remember when Arturia made a DAW?
