Filament Real-Time MIDI Orchestration Plugin Lets You Play An Orchestra Live
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.

Filament is available now, with an intro price of £99 (normally £149).
