Forma Labs Audio has introduced Filament, a real-time MIDI orchestration engine for macOS.
Filament hosts and controls up to 64 AU/VST3 instruments inside a single DAW track. It combines instrument hosting, MIDI routing, voice allocation, clips, arpeggiators, keyswitch management, mixer states, and reusable performance setups into a single workflow.
Filament has an automatic chord re-voicing engine that adapts incoming chords into orchestration-aware voicings, while remaining highly configurable for different instrument types and arrangements.
The result is that you can play live, with full orchestral, synth, or percussion setups from a single track. The automatic re-voicing ensures that you have full arrangement, without the ‘chipmunk’ effect of instruments being played outside their ranges.
Watch the video demo, embedded above, and share your thoughts in the comments!
Filament is available now, with an intro price of £99 (normally £149).
Rogue Kamikaze developer Rogier Derix let us know that he’s released Rogue P6, a native macOS editor and librarian for the Sequential Prophet-6 synthesizer.
Rogue P6 gives the Prophet-6 a full on-screen patch editor, with live two-way MIDI sync, so the app and the hardware stay in agreement while you work across oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFO, Poly Mod and effects.
Alongside the editor is a librarian for organizing patches and banks — with ratings, tags, notes, smart folders and SysEx import/export.
Rogue P6 is available now in the Mac App Store.
Developer Gary White let us know that he’s updated his free online patch editor for Behringer mini synths to include the new Pro VS Mini.
The free Behringer Pro VS Mini patch editor is browser-based, so you can use it directly in a MIDI-capable web browser, like Chrome. It lets you quickly adjust synth settings, configure modulations, tweak effects and more.
Other Behringer synths supported include the Jt4000m, CZ-1, JT mini and UB-1.
The Behringer browser-based patch editors are available now. For those not using Chrome, you can also download the software as a standalone desktop app.
