I subscribed, not because I like this plugin, but becasue I like your presentation style (relaxed, not shouting "what's up!" and stuff that others do).
Yes, he doesn't start with "Sup", or "This yuh boy", or "Drop a whole elbow (smash) that like button", and yeah we all know about subscribe and hit the bell!!!
I have it, it is a fun tool but one still has to fix and tweak quite a lot. I like that I can feed my own chord progressions too not having to only use the presets, then it feels much more my own creation. It is a bit like those paintable blank puzzles. You have the pieces there to be put together but you make the picture and atmosphere of the puzzle yourself and fit the pieces together yourself. And also learn some theory while doing it. But at least for me it takes a lot of time to "roll the dice" for the parts I like. But it is fun anyway. But I would not create a whole song using it only. Plus unfortunately eventually some parts start to sounds similar no matter the progression because there is only limited amount of patterns no matter how random it creates them. I mean I could take two completely different chord progressions and they still sound similar because of the pattern. There comes the time for to change things yourself. It is great for giving ideas which one can develop further, but it wont create a full song for you..Which is a good thing though. You still need to use ears :D
Very much a ver1. Fine if you just what to churn out generic backgrounds, but needs far better integration with the host sequencer and a much less clunky sequencer of its own to use it as a starting point for further work. So a bit of a toy, fun to play with but as yet not very usable.
I really like this plugin! It's great for starting a track and for adding to an existing track. I would love for them to add different genre modes to the generation, I bet them will add that in a future update.
"If you dunno how to make chords, this is it... (chuckles)... the chords are already made foor you" ;) . Just imagine how ripped off you'd feel if you got the Dissonance MIDI hoard pack and then discovered this... or scaler... or EZKeys... or, well you get it.
Hello, unfortunately not. I have this and still prefer melody sauce for what your looking for, in fact, I'd recommend captain chords more also but it's still a decent buy for funky chords
Thanks for the review. Is this tool possibly a good way to teach chord/scale fingering and transitions? I bought it on sale and am struggling with routing for MPC 2.10 largely due to general novice, so if you have any advice I would appreciate it. Also, I saw an interesting video where the author was chaining instances of instacomposer somehow for more complexity. This software has the ability to receive input from external sources I believe, it would be interesting to set it on an ever evolving input output loop and see what happens.
Now we are still dealing with the initial stage of development of such software. But the revolution is just around the corner. The evolution of AI algorithms is going by leaps and bounds. And those utilities that are now based on simple models of machine learning (and more often conventional algorithms) will seem ridiculous to us. We live in a world that has gone crazy, but in a very interesting era in terms of progress, which, however, is already making many people "unnecessary".
What's the monitor in front of you on the desk and does it have touch? I'm currently looking for a touch monitor to place right in front of me as well, and yours looks like the perfect dimensions.
Hello. I mess around with MIDI send inside the Instacomposer. The Note receiver is no problem, but wants 6 separate channels, as your template. Do you have any tips or links? Cheers from Stockholm
Any idea how to make it work with Ableton? No matter what I do, everything seems to come out of track 1. Cannot create individual tracks as you have done with Bitwig.
Can I use InstaComposer with Reaper? As a standalone with Kontakt nki instruments? With Omnisphere for Pads? With TriplePlay software with MIDI guitar, like another VST input? Is it the same as Scaler 2, if not what differs? Can it go beyond 16 bars, like you show?
There's this guy who makes Generative Patches for Bitwig ... what's his name again ? 😜 Take one of his for Bassline and Rhythm, Scaler2 for the chords and maybe this for a Melody ...
like i showed in the video. you put the plugin on one track, and on other tracks you use the note receiver to grab the notes from the plugin track. and you use the channel filter to only let notes from a certain channel pass.
Yet another plugin to waste your time instead of putting the effort learning how music works. One hour a day learning an instrument and some music theory will get you faster and better results in you tracks believe me

It´s not game over, not at all. it´s a shame that these plugins or videos giving a complete false impression of music production. It´s a waste of time and money, get yourself into music theory and you´ll be better than this 10X. How can you promote these kind of plugins, with such a title? You can do it better man!
well it´s sarcasm, of course it´s not game over. lol I also say in the video thats just one form to start a track if you have no ideas or you lack motivation.
Take a deep breath and untwist your panties, my dude. Music production is for everyone but not everyone has the time to learn everything about music theory and composition. Plugins like this allow people who've learnt some basic music theory to get something started that they can then edit, which is less intimidating than staring at a blank piano roll with no idea where to begin. Some people do music production as a hobby and have limited time to spend doing it, so something makes the initial idea process more efficient is a win for them. What we can all do with less of is people gatekeeping.
@@TheCosmicTeapot That´s absolute bullshit, even if you´re doin music production as a hobby, you´re faster learing basics music theory within 6 weeks. If you´re not able or willing to teach yourself the basics of music theory, than you have chosen the wrong hobby! These plugins are only made to rip off beginners or your so called hobby producers. If you want to drive a car you have to do a driver license, you won´t get it by using a driving simulator software. If you´re into any music related hobby or creating, studio, producer, engeneering buissines you need to have to know music theory & come on that is really not a tuff one to learn, it´s simple and very easy.
@@jorvten360 Hope you don't use a DAW. In my opinion, if you don't write all of your music on parchment with a quill and compose everything on a harpsichord you hand-built from the coffins of black plaque victims, you're not an "authentic" music producer. Now be off with you. I have orphans I need to cripple in time for Christmas.

great insights and thanks for sharing!
I picked this up over the weekend. Something to help you get inspired and make some happy accidents.
Thanks, I did not get that for learning your findings of how to use this plugin. Great video.

Danke für diese Plug-In-Inspiration! Ich hab so oft einen Mega-Block in der Birne, da hilft das ungemein😁
Wie immer tolles Video 👍🤘
Sehr gerne 😊
can you import own chord midi progression then generate within plugin?
Call me old fashioned, but nothing beats learning music theory.....
no one is forcing you :)
Totally agree.
raising the population is always a good idea ...
Kinda like Orb producer/composer but cheaper.
"If you dunno how to make chords, this is it... (chuckles)... the chords are already made foor you" ;) . Just imagine how ripped off you'd feel if you got the Dissonance MIDI hoard pack and then discovered this... or scaler... or EZKeys... or, well you get it.
can it generate variants from an existing song (audio or midi) to create remixes "automatically"; e.g. for live performance during a DJ set?
Hello, unfortunately not. I have this and still prefer melody sauce for what your looking for, in fact, I'd recommend captain chords more also but it's still a decent buy for funky chords
Just to add, as far as I know, no program can create remixes from tracks you have, it just puts random notes into the key structure you use

I bought it on sale and am struggling with routing for MPC 2.10 largely due to general novice, so if you have any advice I would appreciate it.

This software has the ability to receive input from external sources I believe, it would be interesting to set it on an ever evolving input output loop and see what happens.
Does it sound cohesive when you generate a long composition?
Very good question, this I'd also like to know. The hard part for me is always to proceed beyond the 4 bar progression.

I got it. "Channel filter". Your channel is the best ⭐️
@@ulfb5467 thanks for sharing your solution
It's funny. In the description for this plugin Bitwig is not listet to be compatible
and it probably works the best in bitwig
@@PolarityMusic I just saw a video of how to set it up I other DAWs, bitwig looks simple and straightforward
@@PolarityMusic that's one of the strengths of Bitwig. Also multi output plugins are incredibly easy to use compared to other DAWs
Any idea how to make it work with Ableton? No matter what I do, everything seems to come out of track 1. Cannot create individual tracks as you have done with Bitwig.
sorry i have no experience in ableton. but i guess you should be able to route things to different tracks
Literally straight from their page…”Ableton Live 9 (and newer) (Blue Cat's Patchwork plugin needed for multi-channel MIDI routing)”
@@sound.silence I will try that. Thank you.
but that same function is possible to do with diatonic Transposer?

thanks but I would rather hear it used first, then have an instruction manual of a plugin i may not even care about until I know how it sounds.
It's cool to work with it and it's cheap ;-)
Also good tutorial 👏👏👍
is it possible to scale the interface?
Yes 👍
SWEET!

How do you asign different instruments to different parts of this in Bitwig? Any help please
