Hello, new to the forum. Just a quick note to introduce Dappledark Studios. We created a pattern-based DAW, known as the Lockdown Composer. The Composer is custom-designed for EDM and runs within your browser. It contains everything you need to create, mix and master tracks, with access to the FREESOUND library, containing over half a million samples. We just listed the Composer at KVR ... hopefully you'll check it out ... and we always love feedback and interaction. https://www.kvraudio.com/product/lockdo ... rk-studios

Rather peculiar name for a DAW... I would suggest reconsidering it as a piece of software that evokes mostly negative memories of a slowly fading pandemic. But maybe I'm wrong, time will tell.

Other than that you have a pretty capable looking DAW right there, you've solved any future update issues through making it webbased, and there seem to be quite a few innovative features included.

I didn't find VST capability I'm the features list, however. Is that planned for a later version?

Thanks Jules, appreciate the feedback. Can’t disagree with your observations re: name. Interestingly, initially we simply called it just LOCKDOWN … not just because of the pandemic but because it allows patterns to be locked and layered progressively to build up your compositions. The name therefore reflects the pattern-based composition approach used by the Composer. Also, we are a dark and moody bunch :) lots of tech, house and deep grooves throughout and plenty of minor chords :).

We are new and don’t have the market share or exposure to approach VST builders yet. We do have clean APIs though and hopefully with support from producers, we’ll start to gain interest in our Synth and FX Racks APIs. We do have 6 Synths and nearly 30 FX units built into the core studio though. There’s also a significant collection of instruments and you have the ability to create your own instruments and drum machines.

Thanks again for your feedback … always appreciate engagement. In my excitement to get this post out I forgot to mention the promo code COMPOSER50, which provides 50% off until end of March.
