Yes! Fluid Chords works using any standard MIDI controller with a pitch bend wheel. You will not require any special MPE device like the ROLI Seaboard or Sensel Morph etc to perform chord bending.

To deliver chord bending, we need to change the pitch bend up/down values for every individual note of a chord in real-time. This is only possible using MPE/MIDI 2.0 protocol hence why Fluid Chords requires MPE supported synths.

- Fluid Pitch is a MIDI FX plugin that allows you to scale lock your pitch bend wheel so that you don't land on a wrong note whilst pitch bending, which is a limitation of the traditional pitch bending system. Additionally Fluid Pitch also allows you to pitch bend polyphonically but it's only limited to a set number of notes.

- Fluid Chords is an intelligent chord bending plugin that allows you to bend from any chord to any chord so that you can create harmonies that have never been heard before like bending from a triad to a complex chord musically, bending from a single note to a chord or also creating unique pitch FX like chord risers etc. The possibilities of chord bending are truly endless unlike the polyphonic bending in Fluid Pitch.

Fluid Chords VST/AU is a quick way to experience Fluid chord bending in your DAW. It works just like any other instrument plugin and can be inserted directly onto the MIDI track in your DAW and it can host your favourite MPE synths right inside it and deliver chord bending.

Fluid Chords standalone app works outside your DAW by taking the MIDI input directly from your MIDI keyboard and converting it into MPE data. This can then be recorded into MPE supported DAW like Ableton, Bitwig, Studio One and Cubase to view or edit individual notes and their pitch bend data.

Fluid Chords is a hosting enabled MIDI FX plugin that allows you to use MPE synths inside the plugin so there is no need for a separate MIDI FX version. That said, based on user requests, we are planning on releasing it in a future update.

Fluid Pitch is a MIDI FX plugin that primarily works on your pitch-bend data, locking it to a specific scale that you choose, allowing you to express any genre of music with unparalleled ease.

Fluid Pitch introduces the world’s first ‘Scale-Locked Pitch Bending’ system locking your pitch bend to the scale you choose. You can also bend whole chords & use MPE synths without MPE hardware. Additionally, you can micro tune individual notes to play Arabic Maqams and Indian ragas with ease.

MPE (MIDI Polyphonic expression) is the new MIDI standard being used by leading expressive keyboards. Fluid Pitch brings the power of MPE to you by upgrading your existing keyboard to an MPE device powered by our MPE upscale engine allowing you to bend or glide MIDI more precisely than other MPE keyboards in the market.

Fluid Pitch works on both Mac & PC as an AU/VST plugin. The latest V1.3 update also comes with a standalone app that you can use in various DAWs.

The roll out of the iOS version of Fluid Pitch is currently in its final stages of development and we are looking forward to releasing it soon. Subscribe to the newsletter on our website to stay updated.
