Digital Orchestrator makes professional desktop music production easy and 
affordable.  This combination of powerful MIDI sequencing and direct-to-disk 
digital audio recording lets you combine MIDI synthesis with vocals, 
acoustic instruments, sound effects and real-world sounds.  The program also 
includes digital sound effects processing that would cost hundreds of 
dollars to create with conventional hardware.  

The intuitive drag-and-drop user interface displays MIDI and digital audio 
tracks side-by-side.  Using familiar Windows commands, you can record, zoom, 
edit, move, mix or copy MIDI and digital audio tracks with equal ease.  

With its professional features, ease of use and seamless integration of MIDI 
and digital audio, Digital Orchestrator opens the door to new levels of 
musical creativity and freedom.  You'll get more done in less time, and 
you'll have a whole lot of fun along the way!
