Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
Can be loaded as an instrument plugin in common DAWs (such as Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, etc.), using MIDI performance and automation to control expression, dynamics, and articulation switching. It can also be combined with AI assistants or melody-generation tools: first generate MIDI sketches or harmonic frameworks externally, then use this instrument within the DAW for orchestration refinement, sound layering, and reverb/space shaping to speed up the process from sketch to finished product.
