Project 5 version 3

Just a bit more flexibility in changing the sounds in some of the other synths (which i why i rarely use them any more). Also, if you could record the timings of editing effects parameters while the track is going. e.g., you had the track playing and you made the track distorted and then gradually pulled it bak to normal, then it would do it automatically next time - like recording the volume automation, but for effects levels.

Maybe some more accurate and easy-to-use clip editing. So like time stretcher, you can change a loop or sound so that it is longer, slower, shorter... whatever.

just some ideas...

btw... will p5v3 be like $600? coz V1 was $200 V2 is $430. what bout V3?

A mixer with flexible routing (post/pre sends)

- A seperate tool for slicing and editing clips without having to use the main transport control. Try splitting a clip while audio is playing to see what I'm talking about.
- DJ-style crossfading in the Groove Matrix.
- Recording directly into the Groove Matrix.
- Ability to set the beginning of a clip with a marker (like you adjust the end of a clip).
- mp3 importing (for quick and fun remixes).
- More, more, more drum and percussion samples. How does such a beat-friendly application have more string samples than drum samples? ;)
- Some equivalent to Live's Beat Repeat delay.
- A high quality vinyl effect (I'm actually happy with Ozone's free plug-in, but I think these are so cool that they should be "in the box")
- More "X/Y" controls in the effects, for funky effects manipulation.
- Audio editing isn't high on my wishlist, but Sonar style fades and crossfades would be nice.
- The more ambitious problem to tackle would be the ability to juggle long, uninteruppted live sets. The ability to move complete Grooves in and out of the Groove Matrix (complete with instruments, MIDI patterns, tempo and audio data) and a Groove Browser would be fantastic and really broaden the appeal of P5 in my opinion.

Most of my wishlist has been covered by jvanva and saturdaysaint. In addition, I'd like see a per cell Quantization "over-ride" in the Groove Matrix. In other words, if the global quant value is set to Measures/Bars, having the ability to set an individual cell(s) quant value seperately, to say, 16th notes.

For me at least, i can do that in p5 (even with imported .wav files) and even if u cant, u can always just slice the beginning off

cool, where can i get this vinyl plugin from Ozone??????!!!!!!!!???????

Um! Version 3?! I have a lot of stuff I would like to see added (that I have listed in other threads) but I want them in v2.5 not 3! I'm cheap and want them for free!

More patterns. LOTS more patterns. All the other stuff would be nice, but P5's killer use for me is to get me started on musical ideas and allow me to prototype riffs and lines.

If I'm going to full out composition, I'm going to do it in Sonar, not P5, so for me what separate P5 is the pattern-based stuff. More patterns.

Hmm. This is something that I personally wouldn't be interested in, as I would rather make my own patterns...beyond a quick skim on first install, I haven't touched the patterns since and would say that it is unlikely that I would ever use any in a track.

I want more busses and mixing options and more 'remix' friendly audio looping and editing capabilities. Just imitate ACID and I'll be happy. P5 is all about "today's music" and remixing stuff is pretty trendy right now, so I think it would be pretty apt for what P5 wants to be. The "cool" sequencer, ya know :)?

Acid 5 has worked pretty well for me since 5.0. There are updates 5.0a and 5.0b that made it pretty solid.

cranial implant interface so i could make music while i sleep.

Give me modular routing of synths and effects. Like in Buzz, Psycle or EnergyXT. Buses and mixers are relics of the hardware stone-age.

Velocity and Cyclone ar great but...

Velocity - should come with a far braoder variety of custom kits and allow auto load and slice mapping of rexfiles into kits for use in P5.
Infact if it was a hybrid drummachine/rex file player it would compliment Cyslone damn well.

Npulse could be GREATLY IMPROVED.
If you're gonna do a drum synth at least give it the same sort of flexibility as something like Microtonic .
It's good at the moment for syncopated sub kicks and extra layers but doesn't have enough bite as a standalone device.


PsynII great synth with lots of LFo's etc let down by a not very comprehensive mod matrix.
There are alot of mod options I would use for LFO's etc that just are not available at the moment .
So a more comprehensive mod matrix for PSYN please.

PS:It currently makes a better percussion synth than Npulse does BTW.


Effects the effects section is rudementary at best. There are some real gems in there but the effects section needs to be broadened greatly with more diversity for users who don't have much bar P5 too work with.
Comps with side chain/ducking
EQ 2/3/4 band + a 3 band with frequency KILL switches
A few more delays ( slightly exotic ) like a granular delay and something that emulates an echoplex for dub delays etc
Phasers / Flangers / Ampsims / More exotic filter types in the Filter plug in.
Chorus a Unity gain device etc etc..
Oh yes and a minimum of 8 auxillary sends per project please.


Rewire - Two channel audio input is atrocious. I much prefer P5's midi implementation to Live's but....... you could learn ALOT from Abletons Rewire implementation. 16 + stereo channels with there own input track for audio rendering etc would be fantastic.


Perhaps something else to compliment Dimension and Psyn in the Synth department..
An FM synth with a serious twist would be great.
Something along the lines of AFM where samples could be used as carriers or modulators within an FM algorythm.
Think of it like a virtual SY99/77 - would complimet Dimension and Psyn really well.

Ever thought of Bundlng an 8voice only version of Z3ta with P5 also ?
Would be more than enough for extra leads / basses / wierd effects and atmosphere's.

Better internal audio editing facilities.
If not please include a hot link key command.
For example I click on Edit in the .wav view and my specified audio editor opens up inside P5 for professional audio editing duties.


Just a few ideas from a relative newbie.
Hope they where valid or worthwhile suggestions.

Auto quantize or at least ability to quantize while looping with out stopping, Auto quantize,Auto quantize,Auto quantize,Auto quantize,

I dont know if its in v2 yet.....but the Ability to Preview what a .ptn Pattern Sounds like while exploring for patterns, without actually loading it into the pattern view screen. Cuz if you have to load but if you want to change it....you to go through your whole pattern list again to choose another one, which is time consuming and extra clicks. So playback on highlighting of a pattern would be nice....just like Velocity has playback of a Sample when you click on a sample before you make your descision on what you want loaded into the Cell.

I want the ability to split the groove pane into 2 or more sub windows. What you trigger in one wouldn't effect the other groove window. Then you could do the following...

In one window set up a set of columns, drums on one row, bass and rythem instrument on the others. Each column is a backing rythem, the column is set for midi control (say from trigger finger (TF) , top row). So by triggering one of the columns you can get a different backing rythem. All well and good you say, I can do this now !

In an other window though, each cell is as a lead melody, each cell is triggered from TF. Say 3*3 cells in TF, startign bottom right. Now you can trigger a rythem column from the top row and select from one of the melodies to play on top. I don't believe P5 can do this at the moment.

Just for fun set up a third window with sound effects in it. Again midi trigger, but when triggered the current rythem column and melody cell keep on going. Again I don't think you can do this at present.


OH and better output stage and or flexible audio /midi routing as Bob/B-rock says.

I don't know if you could do this in v2.0, but you can do this in 2.01...all the midi grooves have a play arrow next to them and it will play back on whatever synth channel is currently highlighted.
