Novel Simple has announced the release of a new plugin which intelligently routes your MIDI input to 6 independent channels for lush, realistic Divisi arrangements.
Simple Divisi distributes notes by their musical voice role within a chord. It includes a configurable chord wait buffer to ensure accurate voicing even with flexible playing, and a true legato engine that tracks voice continuity between notes for smooth phrasing.
You know the sound you want: a soaring violin lead over a lush, four-part string section and a driving double bass. But getting there? That usually means painfully drawing individual MIDI notes, duplicating regions, copying, pasting, and battling complex DAW routing limits. It kills the creative flow.
Simple Divisi bridges that gap — transforming your two hands into a 6-piece ensemble. Play naturally. Our intelligent engine dynamically sorts your highest notes to your top voices, and your lowest notes to your bass lines, in real-time. Just your music, automatically divided exactly the way a real orchestra plays it.
Simple Divisi features
- True legato engine with configurable grace window and leg overlap.
- Chord wait buffer (configurable 1–200ms) for accurate distribution.
- Base split key to separate top voices (Ch 1–4) from bass voices (Ch 5–6).
- Low part modes including Divisi (2-voice bass) and Octaver (bass + octave below).
- Per-channel octave transpose (−4 to +4 octaves independently).
- 17 factory presets covering orchestral, choir, legato solo, and live setups.
- MIDI capture and drag-to-DAW export functionality (6-track MIDI file).
- Piano visualizer showing all 6 channels with color-coded highlights.
Simple Divisi for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and standalone) is available at an introductory price of $14.99 USD for the first 200 customers with coupon code DIVISI at checkout (regular $49 USD). A 14-day free trial is available to try the plugin.
