Ableton Live is pretty badass just cause there's nothing else like it out there...
As for innovative design, I'd say Synplant is probs the most interesting, and probs the easiest way to create a variety of different sounds

You can do anything you want to with sound.
I was just thinking the same thing,

apples and oranges
not exactly an innovative program, just the best tracker out there
more like designing a webpage than playing music imo
i could go on for 10 pages about how great live is, so i wont.

I'd say the very first ejay, it opened up a massive can of worms for people and made electronic music massive, and paved the way for some serious shit tracks, but some good also

i remember doing some fairly complex compositions in this
had the basic midi sounds but you could export the midi into another program

all you need are arrow keys and a number pad, brilliant

cubase back when it was an atari program, and sonic solutions, which became protools if i'm correct.
no one'd be doing anything regarding music on their computer if it wasn't for those. everything else is icing on the cake.

oh come on. Renoise is the only software that deserves to begin with a capital letter.

Acid Pro was revolutionary at the time. Never seen anything like it. Shame it never built on it to a professional standard and/or got the bugs sorted.
