Pitch Innovations released Fluid Chords 2, an updated version of their award-winning music software. The chord-bending plugin won Best Commercial Software at the 2022 MIDI Innovation Awards. Musicians use the program to create unusual chord changes that were impossible before. The new version features a powerful hybrid sound engine that combines different audio technologies. Users can blend organic and electronic sounds to make unique musical textures.
The software contains a Wavetable Synth and MPE Sampler for creating diverse sounds. Musicians can also load third-party VST instruments that support MPE technology. Built-in effects help shape the audio output through Pumper, Reverb, Delay and Compressor tools. These additions give users more creative control over their musical projects. The hybrid engine opens new possibilities for sound design and composition.
Fluid Chords 2 adds several chord-bending features for more natural musical expression. Strum mode bends each note separately to create realistic guitar-like transitions. Flow mode lets musicians control how chords resolve during performances. Real-Time Mode allows chord bending through MIDI controllers without sustain pedals. The Harmony Engine automatically generates chord progressions based on musical keys and genres.
Additional improvements expand the software's capabilities for professional musicians. Split and Play mode separates chord triggers from melody playing across keyboard hands. The program supports 16 chords compared to eight from the previous version. Musicians gain better timing control over bend effects and auto-mapping functions. Users can drag MIDI chord progressions directly into the software for automatic assignment.
The plugin works on Windows 10 computers and Mac systems running macOS 10.13 or newer versions. Pitch Innovations offers the software for $49 during the introductory period instead of the regular $99 price.
