Chord Voicer Pro: Cinematic MIDI FX Plugin
Novel Simple has introduced Chord Voicer Pro, a new MIDI FX plugin designed to help producers create lush, professional-quality chord voicings instantly. This plugin aims to bridge the gap between a musician’s intention and the final sound, transforming input into rich, cinematic harmonies without altering the user’s playing style. Consequently, it allows for the creation of complex arrangements with greater ease.
The plugin is compatible with all major DAWs and operates as an intelligent intermediary between the user and their virtual instruments. Furthermore, it distinguishes itself by not relying on generative AI or random patterns. Instead, Chord Voicer Pro utilizes professional voicing patterns developed by experienced producers and orchestrators over decades. This approach ensures that the resulting voicings are musically refined and emotionally resonant.
Key Features and Functionality
Chord Voicer Pro offers a range of features designed to provide extensive control over the output. For instance, the Keyboard Split function allows users to play melodies above processed chords, while the Invert Keyboard Split enables playing bass notes beneath. Moreover, the Transpose Outputs feature shifts input notes by octaves, offering quick tonal adjustments. A notable addition is the assignable Key switch Voicing, which permits on-the-fly changes to voicing styles during performance or production.
Users can select from 12 versatile voicing styles to transform their playing, providing a broad palette for various musical genres. The plugin also includes Buffered vs Stream Modes; Buffered Mode is ideal for rolled or flam notes with a controllable wait period, whereas Stream Mode facilitates fast block chords without delay. Additionally, the Expand Notes feature enriches chords with extra notes, ensuring a full sound based on the chosen voicing style. The visual feedback from the Input Output Notes display helps users understand the plugin’s processing.
Precision and Adaptability
For precise control over the sound’s balance, the Output Register Split helps manage the number of notes played below and above a selected note. Furthermore, Output Range Limit ensures that voicings suit the chosen instrument by constraining the output range. Perhaps most notably, Scale Quantize allows users to set a desired key and scale, guaranteeing that all output notes conform to the selected scale, regardless of the input. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining harmonic consistency.
It is important to note that Chord Voicer Pro is a MIDI FX Plugin and does not generate sounds independently. It requires a DAW paired with a soft synth or sampler to produce audio. Developed by music producer Jithendra, this tool is designed to be genre-agnostic, adapting naturally to diverse playing styles for film scoring, pop production, jazz, and more. It supports VST, VST3, AU, and AAX (64-bit) formats, including native Apple Silicon support, and runs on macOS 10.13+ and Windows 10+.
