Project5 is intended for the creation of pattern-based electronic music using DirectX and VST instruments, Groove clips (ACIDized wave files), standard audio files (wave), and effects. You can play through Project5 using a MIDI controller or you can create patterns to play through instruments and also effects. Project5's advanced MIDI input filtering system lets you layer and control multiple instruments, or even play along with other musicians at the same time. Because of this MIDI flexibility, you can think of Project5 as a "super-instrument" with multiple layers and sounds, or as an instrument hub where numerous musicians can play together through various MIDI devices.

Project5 Version 2.5 is now available as a free download for registered Project5 Version 2.x customers. Please have Project5 Version 2 installed and your serial number handy in order to install the new update.
