Development of Project 5 Version 2.5 is under way.
Cakewalk has just launched a developers blog.
In this blog "For the first time, Cakewalk is going to give you a hands-on look at the new Project5 as we countdown to the release."
Use the comments links at the bottom of this post to offer thoughts on what do you think Cakewalk should be focusing on in the next release.
In addition to to selecting patches from within the instrument interface, you can also select patches from the Track Inspector. Find the "Property Page" for the instrument in question, then click "Select Bank/Patch".
You'll then be presented with a menu containing patches. The advantage of this approach is that all the patches are laid out before you making it easier to see all the patches at once in a paticular category.
I saw this in a press release a while back and forgot to blog about it. Cakewalk has announced that it's dropping the price of Project 5 Version 2 to $199 effective August 1st, 2006 (Now Available on Musicians Friend). This new price makes Project5 quite compelling if you want features
similar to Ableton Live but can't bare the sticker price of Ableton.
Some would argue that Project5 is not as solid as Ableton for live performance. Cakewalk has a full page ad in the September issue of Keyboard Magazine
with the tag line "New Attitude, New Price". To me this indicates that
Cakewalk is ready to get serious about taking Project5 to the next
level. The press release mentions "a major update for Project5 to be available in Q1, 2007. The Project5 update will be provided as a free download for registered Project5 users..." Seems like they might be trying to close the gap with Ableton. Time will tell.
