Renoise is aimed to fill the gap between traditional "piano-roll" music software and "tracker" music software. It's taken the folks at Renoise 3years to develop this new software and they are certainly proud of it. Just take a look around their website for living proof. What they lack in English skills they make up for in enthusiasm. Features

Easy to use user interface, all-in-one, customizable and fast (uses DirectX)

Easy to use song sequencer and song editor (tracker style)

Full MIDI support (MIDI playback synchronized with audio latency and can be additionally synchronized manually if necessary)

Full synchronization via MIDI clock as master or slave to external programs or hardware that is able to receive or send MIDI clock (e.g. drum machines, external sequencer, etc.)

Integrated support for VST Plug-Ins 2.0 (effects and sound processors)

Integrated support for VSTi (VST instruments 2.0 - you can use many great software synths from Renoise)

ASIO multi I/O cards support (for very low latency) with the ability to route tracks to hardware channels

Integrated sampler and high quality mixer

Runs on all 32-bit Windows that support DirectX 8.0 or later (Windows 95-98-Me-NT-2000-XP) With Renoise you get - song editor, sample and instrument/patch editor, and track/instrument effects editors - all in one program. Each of these is like fully featured software of its own. Because of this integration Renoise is actually like a home-studio in one music program. You can make entire mixes using only Renoise and export them later via WAV file for CD-burning or mastering. Renoise is a shareware program. The full version is available at $45 USD.
