█▓█ ░ What is Orion? ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Orion is a 'virtual' music studio suite for the PC ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ running under Windows 95/98/ME/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). ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Quality ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ All calculations inside Orion, are done in 32-bit ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ resolution - twice the resolution of normal CD-Audio. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ You can export your songs as WAV files, in 16-bit ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ resolution, ready for CD - or in 32-bit resolution, ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ready for subsequent editing in a different program. If ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ you want to record your music on DAT, exporting at 48 ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ kHz is also possible. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Compatibility and Interfaces ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Orion supports all major interfaces - VST and DX ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ instruments as well as VST and DX effects are supported. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Full automation is available for VST synthesizers so ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ knob movements can be recorded and played back in ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ realtime. The supported audio output interfaces include ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ standard MME drivers, DirectX and ASIO. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ MIDI Support ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Latency is very short on most computers, which means you ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ can play Orion from a MIDI keyboard in realtime, just ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ like you would play any rackmount hardware synthesizer ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ in a studio. Of course you can record the midi input too ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ and postprocess it with Quantize and other editing ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ tools. Orion has two MIDI modes: easy mode, where the ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ active synthesizer quite simply receives the MIDI input ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ - and advanced mode, where each generator responds to a ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ fixed MIDI channel. Additionally you can control Orion's ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ synthesizers with MIDI control devices such as the ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Phatboy or Drehbank, just right-click on any synth knob, ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ turn the midi wheel and it's linked - easy, huh? VST ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Instruments and effects can also be fully controlled via ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ MIDI gear. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Mixer ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ If you've ever worked in a studio, then you know what to ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ expect from a quality hardware mixer, and the features ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ of Orion's mixer will match (and surpass) your ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ expectations. Currently 64 channels are available, and ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ since most generators use or support stereo channels ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ it's near impossible getting close to that limit. The ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ mixer has two effect sends, both of which have variable ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ send amounts per channel. Additionally, two effects can ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ be inserted on each channel, and an advanced parametric ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ 4-band-equalizer (with 7 controls) is available on each ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ channel. Each channel can be labelled, muted and ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ solo'ed. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ It's just like the real thing, only better! ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Sequencers ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Two kinds of sequencers are available in Orion - the ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ polyphonic piano roll fascilitates writing chords and ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ melodic pieces. The monophonic step-sequencer is ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ particularly useful with the built-in bassline ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ synthesizer, allowing per- step setting of accent and ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ slide bits. Both sequencer types are velocity-sensitive ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ and grid, snapping and zooming is available. The grid ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ can also be configured for other beats like 3/4 etc. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Events (knob movement etc.) can be recorded and edited ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ within both sequencer types. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Synthesizers ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ All of Orion's built-in synthesizers feature: 64 ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ patterns, variable pattern ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ length and loading/saving of presets. It is possible to ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ create "odd-length" ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ patterns, which will then loop "off beat" - many acid ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ music freaks will find ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ this an invaluable (and unique) feature. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Song Arrangement/Playlist ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ The Playlist window arranges all patterns from all used ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ generators to form a song. Patterns can be inserted, ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ deleted, copied and moved around conveniently. You can ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ also optionally move song automation data from ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ generators or mixer channels along with copied blocks. ░ █▓█

█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Performance ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Orion is a highly optimized piece of software, which ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ means that users with a not-so-fast machine, will be ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ more than able to make music with it. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Additional Features ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Unlimited undo/redo! Editing operations in the piano ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ roll, playlist & knob tweaks can be undone. Undo levels ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ are infinite unless undo cache is flushed which happens ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ e.g. on song loading or when deleting modules. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ACM Support - Orion will load any type of WAV file ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ supported by your operating system, including ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ MP3-compressed WAVs. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ "Humanize" function adds that "human touch" to your ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ programmed beats and riffs. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Song information (including a web site link) can be ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ saved with your song, and can optionally be displayed ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ when the song is loaded. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ MIDI files can both be imported and exported. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Samples can optionally be bundled with saved songs. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Easy, full skin support - personalize Orion with your ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ own graphics. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Import and export FXP and FXB programs and banks, for ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ use in CuBase. ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ New features in Pro 2.75 ░ █▓█

█▓█ ░ LFO Tool added in pattern event editor (right-click) ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Imported MIDI files now also import pitch bend data ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ Aftertouch added as pattern event. The WASP can react on ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ it already, check the "Aftertouch Pad" preset for ░ █▓█
█▓█ ░ instance Favorite directories added for Drums + Sampler ░ █▓█
