Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
Can be loaded as an instrument plugin on instrument tracks or plugin slots in major DAWs, supporting real‑time performance with MIDI keyboards, piano‑roll sequencing, and parameter automation. Common controls like velocity, pedals, and expression can be assigned via MIDI CC, making it easy to record and reproduce expression; it's also suitable for project templates, freeze/offline bounce, and stems delivery workflows. If used with AI assistants or collaboration tools that generate MIDI fragments, these can be rendered and post‑produced directly with this library to quickly obtain usable, high‑quality piano tracks.
