Divisimate 2

The core idea of Divisimate is to split up chords on the keyboard into individual musical voices and then spread them across different instruments in the sequencer. Since every voice can be routed and modified individually, full realistic orchestrations built from virtual instruments can be played and recorded live. Where version 1 allowed to create up to 32 parts at once, Divisimate 2 introduces Multitimbral Ports, utilizing the MIDI Channels of each port to address up to 512 instruments at once.
One of the biggest new additions is the Arpeggiator plugin, which comes with a “Basic” and and “Expert” mode. While the “Basic” mode has all the things that are to be expected from an Arpeggiator, the “Expert” mode opens up a lot of possibilities to build custom phrases, textures and melodies. Another new plugin, the Transformer allows the user to apply realtime operations on incoming notes and controllers.

While Divisimate 1 was only available as a standalone version, Divisimate 2 can be used as a VST, AU or AAX plugin in the DAW as well, much like their recent release Divisimate Micro.

Other new features include:
– Transition Modes
– Multipad Editor
– Preset Import
– Section Headings
– Custom Perform Page Numbers
– Global Keyswitch Area

The first version of Divisimate was already one of its kind – the idea of splitting up live input into individual musical voices and then distributing them through virtual MIDI ports to different DAW tracks had never been done before.
Divisimate 2 expands on this concept in a number of ways – while Divisimate 1 was limited to 32 instruments at a time, Divisimate 2 utilizes MIDI channels to push this limit up to 512 instruments, allowing basically any conceivable instrumentation.
With Divisimate 2 running as a plugin in the DAW instead of standalone-only, new workflow possibilities open up in the studio: pre-record and edit your source MIDI, automate parameters mid-phrase and combine Divisimate with other tools.

The new Arpeggiator and Transformer plugins expand the kinds of orchestrations that can now be built: intricate patterns, melodies, scale-locked textures and built-in dynamic balancing give an unprecedented amount of control over every detail of your orchestration.

Meanwhile for live performance purposes, the Multipads and transition modes allow the creative combination, overlapping and chaining of different orchestrations.

There are multiple free curated templates available created in partnership with different companies like VSL, Orchestral Tools or Audio Modeling. These include hundreds of prepared orchestrations that are immediately playable with the pre-balanced and pre-routed templates.

These give a quick and easy way to explore playable orchestrations with high quality virtual instruments – pretty much right out of the box.
