Nextmidi Bridges Gap Between Composing, Performing

Ilio, a distributor of virtual instru- ments and audio processing software, in collaboration with Nextmidi, the German developer of virtual orchestration soft- ware, has released Divisimate 2, the first new version of Nextmidi’s flagship prod- uct Divisimate. Divisimate 2 introduces powerful features designed to bridge the gap between composing and performing with virtual instruments. The core idea of Divisimate is to split up chords on the keyboard into indi- vidual musical voices and then spread them across different instruments in the sequencer. Since every voice can be rout- ed and modified individually, full realistic orchestrations built from virtual instru-

ments can be played and recorded live. Where version 1 allowed to create up to 32 parts at once, Divisimate 2 introduc- es Multitimbral Ports, utilizing the MIDI Channels of each port to address up to 512 instruments at once. $ Ilio (ilio.com)
