WA Production – Instacomposer 2 for WiN

We’ve all experienced those moments when our creative juices run dry. Fear not, as the newly updated Instacomposer 2 is your ultimate muse. It’s a powerful MIDI generator plugin designed to revolutionize the music creation process. Whether you’re a professional musician or just starting out, this versatile tool offers endless possibilities for creating exciting melodies, phrases, riffs, and chord progressions across a variety of genres and styles.

Building on the original, Instacomposer 2 brings exciting new features and improvements that will make your experience even more enjoyable. Organize song ideas and parts with 8 new “scenes,” providing a convenient way to store different variations in a single preset. Melodies can be created in different modes and combined with unique chord progressions for each scale. 

A new virtual keyboard and dedicated chord menus help with scale and chord selection. The update introduces two next-generation modes. Drums; easily create drum parts in a variety of styles and complexities, and Pad 2; create fuller sounds by combining pad and chord modes. The AI algorithms for rhythm, phrase, and melody generation have been improved, resulting in more accurate results. 

New parameters such as Sustain and Chord Helper provide additional control. The plugin now offers six full tracks, improved performance with reduced CPU usage, and legacy support for loading presets from the previous version.

Each new starting point for Instacomposer 2 generates a unique result, ensuring you’ll never run out of fresh ideas and possibilities for your compositions. Rather than generating random notes, Instacomposer 2 uses carefully crafted algorithms and databases to generate musical ideas. Mimicking human creativity, it creates rhythmic and melodic structures that just sound right, choosing notes that fit a given scale and context, and creating coherent phrases that complement the underlying chords. 

Instacomposer 2 understands our brain’s penchant for recognizing patterns in music. The AI uses different shapes and formats to create exciting combinations of beats and bars, adding the rhythmic and melodic coherence often found in chart-topping music. Using small musical fragments that repeat or occur in different forms throughout a tune, Instacomposer 2 creates larger blocks, creating a sense of unity throughout your music. 

Depending on the selected mode and settings, the plugin harmonizes notes to enrich the sound, resulting in a more cohesive composition as it aligns the melody with the chords. With customizable AI controls and variable chaos parameters, you are in charge of how Instacomposer 2 develops ideas (and how far it deviates from the rules). 

Fine-tune various components such as chord complexity, note fills, beat and bar structuring, pattern generation, harmonization, velocity randomization, and more.

Instacomposer 2 includes sophisticated algorithms for creating melodies, bass lines, ostinatos, rhythm patterns, pads, chords, drums and more. By exploring the potential of these modes, you can discover unique and compelling music. With six available tracks and eight scenes, Instacomposer 2 offers flexibility and organization for multiple layers, alternate variations and different parts of a song in a single preset.

With a user-friendly piano roll interface, you can easily maneuver, duplicate, and delete notes, breathing life into your riffs. The built-in MIDI editor can be used to customize Instacomposer 2’s output, meaning you can manipulate the music before it leaves the plugin, adding your creativity and personal style to AI-generated phrases. Move, copy, and delete notes in the familiar piano roll interface, even changing the velocity.

Edit and modify MIDI playback directly in the Instacomposer 2 interface. Save the result as a MIDI file or simply drag and drop it into your DAW. Each track can also be saved separately, giving you maximum flexibility.

Alternatively, you can set up multi-channel instruments and route MIDI data from Instacomposer to your favorite VSTi. This way, you can view all 6 tracks at once without leaving the plugin environment.

Instacomposer includes a huge number of factory presets, many more than in the original version; useful musical motifs for quick launch, which over time can become the basis for entire tracks.
