InstaChord 2 MIDI Plugin | AI Powered Humanized Chords (VST / AU / AAX)

[@ojaix555]

Now I can actually use InstaChord. I always struggled with the former version but this is a perfect upgrade.

[@w.a.production]

glad you like it!

[@djba]

This new version looks great. I am a long-time Scaler user but the new pattern editor is enough to make me want to give InstaChord 2 a try.

[@w.a.production]

go for it! :)

[@javierbza]

Nice! Love it! I think I will upgrade! There is (or will be) some kind of Midi Import feature, to reuse chords or progressions or arpeggios?

[@theinfideluk]

Looks very interesting, can the individual patterns be longer than one bar?

[@Avant5]

Edit/Update: The sync issue in Reaper has been fixed. Thanks guys! There's an issue with the sequencer playing by midi trigger in Reaper (6.63). It is not syncing correctly, and sometimes doesn't change at all with tempo changes. The drag-n-drop feature makes this less of an issue, because the midi works normally after added to the timeline, but when testing out ideas, using only single-key triggers it's not working correctly. It works perfectly in Ableton 10.

Interesting Tool, what about chrods played with two hands like 8 notes at the same time or arp over two octaves - I think 8 notes in sequencer would be better.. or even 10

[@ItsSongsOfDavid]

I don't see any factory presets in mine :(

[@TerenceKearns]

Thats pretty cool. Well done to the developers. Hopefully version 2.5 will have swing or even better, a groove pool ;)

[@w.a.production]

thanks for the feedback!

[@CIRCUITRYCREW]

does it have drop and drag feature

[@w.a.production]

It does! We just added it to the latest version 2.0.1! :)

[@stephenroldan5107]

Yes. Very simple

[@baris_c]

Pattern sequencer looks really good. You may add humanise effect may be in the later updates

[@BartekEVH]

Can I play by right hand some notes from chords? Not patern. Like in v1. How?

[@da1onlynickvicious]

Is the humanization options for the timing when you’re sequencing?

[@w.a.production]

Hi there, there is no random timing offset at the moment.

[@stephenroldan5107]

Took me a second to figure out in bitwig... Great stuff!!!!!

[@w.a.production]

glad you got it working! Enjoy!

Where is the installation and where to find it video? The written instructions for the Mac don't seem to work. Doesn't matter what this plugin is supposed to do if the user can't install or find it.

[@draedogglawson]

Drag and drop?

[@Avant5]

That's what it needed, more than any of the other features. Being able to build up your patterns, then drag midi to the DAW is in most other plugins. I have InstaChord 1, and I don't use it anymore, and this is the main reason why. I'd upgrade and use it if they'd add this feature.

Hi guys, good news! We just added the MIDI Drag & Drop feature to the latest 2.0.1. version, which is out now! :) Just go to your account and get it from there.

[@Avant5]

@@w.a.production Wow! I can't believe you turned that around so quickly. I just downloaded the demo and it's exactly what I wanted. That changes makes all the difference, from a fun riffing tool to something for my actual composing workflow. Sold! Thanks for listening to your customers, and for dropping the note here about the update.

[@GTSongwriter]

I couldn't try the demo because of Windows SmartScreen Filter: "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." I was hoping to see this demo before the sale ends. I've got Cakewalk by Bandlabs and that DAW isn't in the approved list... so I want to TEST before buying.

[@lX-NDR]

mine only plays the strums and chords i can see chords loaded up and it plays via midi or press on it but no sound, and yes its routed right.

[@RJEnriquez]

Is there a way to randomize or humanize velocities?

[@w.a.production]

not at this time, but you can drag MIDI into your DAW and adjust to your liking.

[@RJEnriquez]

@@w.a.production that is easy enough. Thank you. Just bought it

[@LaurentMemmi]

Not clear if we can inject any vst instrument as sound used here or is it only with an included soundbank ? Also can we export as midi once we got our pattern or arpeggio ? Thx !

[@w.a.production]

Hi Laurent, yes it is a MIDI effect plugin so it needs to be connected to another instrument/synth and does not produce sound on its own. And yes, you can easily drag/export the MIDI into your DAW :)

[@LaurentMemmi]

@@w.a.production thx. Bought it after your answer !

[@ritchxmusic]

I like the plugin but respectfully, the GUI looks like its 2002

[@NeverduskX]

This is a great upgrade. InstaChord has been collecting dust on my plugin folder for a while now, but I think this could even replace PhraseBox for me. It's nice to see the AI features from InstaComposer pop up in other plugins as well. Will there ever be a similar update for InstaComposer? Being able to use modes and other scales, switch between multiple patterns in one plugin instance, and drag-and-drop chords from Scaler 2 into InstaComposer would really magnify its usefulness and help me recommend it more.

[@w.a.production]

thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it :) We of course will continue to put out updates for InstaComposer as well!

[@NeverduskX]

@@w.a.production I'm glad to hear that. I look forward to it!

[@itsrelativ3967]

How do I know the upgrade will work in LPX on Mac OS Catalina with version 1 already installed?? Try the demo??

[@w.a.production]

It should work, but sure, always a good idea to try the demo :)

[@amazingaccordion8565]

No undo capability?

[@zaricavancov6988]

Is it possible to re-enter the license if you suddenly need to reinstall the system?

[@w.a.production]

it is not advised, but if you reach the activation limit and are using 3 or fewer devices, we will assist.

[@MeerkatMuzic]

Any discount for the original owners like Scaler 2 owners had on Plug-in Boutique?

[@w.a.production]

You can upgrade from InstaChord 1 for $15 (Currently discounted from $20)! :)

[@BoochBeats]

@@w.a.production how long will the introduction discount be valid?

[@w.a.production]

@@BoochBeats For the next 13 days - we will possibly extend it by another 14 days. 28 days in total :)

[@stephenroldan5107]

Got it it yesterday.. not for 15.00 but dude this is worth muuuuch more.

[@JeydetaJosen]

And can i export the Chords then to my Daw?!

[@w.a.production]

yes you can :)

[@jahhe2611]

How do we import chords? like from cthulhu for example.

[@w.a.production]

You can create your own custom chords. It is currently not possible to drag and drop MIDI files into InstaChord 2.

[@gregorydemosthenes4434]

Add manually or by midi. I suggest by midi u can just click em in. A tad bit tedious!

[@JdjdbNdjdb]

used it for two days and made 4 complete songs....ISSUES: 1. WONT EXPORT FULL MIDI, CANNOT SEQUENCE SECTIONS. i have to drag and drop each individual midi part out of the vst. you can try to record the midi on the fly but its not good, youd need to mark the keys you need to press and since quantize does nothing inrreaper this didnt work for me at all 2.MINIMAL PATTERNS, NO AUTO GENERATE FEATURE. all 4 songs i made sound very similar due to the extremley limited number of variations the vst comes with. i beleive they want you to buy expansions packs. 3.LOTS OF USELESS BUTTONS THAT DO NOTHING.theres an auto generate chord sequence button but once it shows you the chords it does nothing, they dont get moved to your pattern or anything they just sit there. if you want to change your chords to the ones generated you do it one at a time. 3.HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE HOST VST WHEN TRIGGER CHORDS. slightly annoying and throws you off when making changes 4.HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY MUTE AND UNMUTE/SOLO UNSOLO BECAUSE MIDI IN YOUR DAW WILL TRIGGER THE VST RESULTING IN GARBAGE SOUNDS.couldnt figure out why the playbacked audio sucked so bad, the midi was triggering the vst. interesting that you can program midi to trigger the vst which would then make it automatically change chords and patterns but youd have to route it in an insane way so that the track wasnt recording your output midi over the input midi

[@w.a.production]

Hi there -- we appreciate the feedback, however, some of what you're saying simply sounds like you are using it incorrectly. For example, when used/routed correctly, there is no circumstance where the MIDI should trigger sounds unintentionally.

y despues se preguntan por que la musica suena toda parecida, la IA va a terminar siendo como terminator....

[@EveryDayLifeChannel9777]

Confusing

[@dj_instruments937]

Not impressed. Nice though. I wanted to see just regular triad or dyad (with the option to make it 7th or 9th etcetera) chords with correct bass notes for each chord that we can drag and drop into our projects. How we normally would build a track from scratch. Only then manipulating the chords into Arps and sequences and all of that. What would be cool is if we could trigger Arps and sequences from Intsachord and have it replicate this action simultaneously with (after it's been dragged and dropped) the midi in said chosen DAW. So, as I build out my progression if I want to spice up individual chords I can do so while building my song out.
