Divisimate Micro turns your virtual instruments into a playable ensemble by splitting chords into individual voices and routing them to instrument tracks in your DAW, speeding up workflow with real-time divisi.
Purpose and Core Function
Divisimate Micro is a plugin designed to transform your virtual instruments into a playable ensemble. It splits incoming chords into individual musical voices and routes them to instrument tracks directly in your DAW. This allows you to play monophonic instruments in chords, enabling you to create orchestral or band-like arrangements from a single performance.
The plugin connects to four MIDI ports, which you can select as inputs on instrument tracks in your DAW. Incoming notes are automatically distributed in real time and can be recorded as individual parts on these tracks, giving you the ability to edit or change any part of the voicing afterward.
Key Capabilities: the Divisi Engine
The centerpiece of Divisimate Micro is its real-time Divisi Engine, which splits incoming chords as you play. You can choose from three different Divisi Modes to suit different musical situations. The engine allows you to select how many voices you want to play and route those voices freely across the four MIDI ports, building different combinations of instruments.
This flexibility lets you get your ideas and performance out quickly. Whether you are playing live or feeding pre-recorded MIDI into the plugin, the engine handles the distribution so you can hear the different parts as they would sound in a full ensemble, facilitating quick arrangement and orchestration.
Workflow and Creative Options
Divisimate Micro’s settings are designed for speed and creativity. The Transposer lets you create open voicings from standard triads or double parts in octaves. The Trigger function lets you change articulations or playing styles quickly, which is useful for orchestral libraries. Key ranges allow you to play melody and bass lines independently from the Divisi Engine.
The humanization engine adds a subtle human touch to your parts, making them feel more natural. These tools work together to streamline your workflow, whether you are sketching out a full arrangement or recording individual parts for later editing.
Practical Applications
Divisimate Micro is particularly useful for composers and producers who work with string sections, brass ensembles, or other large virtual instrument sets. It simplifies the process of creating complex voicings and multi-part textures. You can use it to record a chord progression and have it automatically split into separate violin, viola, and cello parts on different tracks.
It also works well for sketching ideas quickly, as you can assign different instruments to the four ports and immediately hear how a chord sounds with different timbres. The ability to record pre-recorded MIDI through the plugin makes it a versatile tool for refining arrangements after the initial performance.
