Orion is a 'virtual' music studio suite for the PC running under Windows
95/98/2000. It recreates all parts of a traditional studio including
sequencing, the emulation of a mixing desk and all wired rackmount hardware
(Synthesizers, Samplers, Drums, Effects etc).

Extended Sampler:

The sampler has been improved in many ways. You may now set and modulate the
start position or sync the LFOs to the current tempo - the filters have also
been replaced by much better ones!

Groove Slicing:

The new groove slicer integrated into the sampler can split (mono) WAV files
into parts and spread some automatically across the keyboard. Slices can be
moved afterwards, and pitch, level, pan of each slice can be adjusted.

Plucked String Generator:

The new plucked string generator is a physically modelled synth of high
quality. You can adjust timbre, attack behaviour, decay/release times and
the stereo widen mode produces a great stereo panorama!

Arpeggiator:

The arpeggiator splits up chords into single notes using a given tempo and
note order (up, down, random etc). Chords can be played live via MIDI
keyboard or the pattern notes are taken. Additionally there's an autochord
tool which creates chords out of given monophonic lines in the current
pattern. This is useful either for trying out chord combinations or as
background to jam live to it.

Audio Tracks:

Using audio tracks makes it easy to align vocals or recorded solos to
normal Orion patterns. Each audio track can contain any number of WAV files
dropped onto the playlist. Effects can be applied on the tracks via the mixer
as usual. When editing the WAV files in an external editor such as
Sound Forge, they will be automatically reloaded in Orion after saving,
which highly speeds up editing.

Sidechains:

The sidechains allow you to send the signal from any channel into the Gate,
Compressor and (new) filter effect. That means you can e.g. chop a chord pad
with a 909 bassdrum using the Gate. Possibilities are endless since any
generator/channel can be used as modulation source/target!

High-Quality Effects:

Orion PRO contains a bunch of new high-quality effects such as a new
true-stereo Reverb, a couple of powerful delay effects (filter delay,
x-delay), a tube distortion for the real grungy vintage sound and finally
a filter which can be optionally controlled via sidechains.

Pro 2.4 new features

Multitimbral VST Instruments can now be played on multiple tracks in the
playlist. Just right-click on the generator name and expand the number of
tracks for any VST Instrument.
Tracks in the playlist can now have different colors.
Sampler has 2 new functions: first its pitch can be controlled via sidechain
input (thus allowing FM) and the filter envelope can be inverted now.
Echo/Retrigger effect has an additional depan control.
All generators and effects, including VST instruments and VST effects, can now
both be automated and controlled via MIDI gear.
