They should honestly pay you for this video. You present this so clearly and calmly, I don't really think it could be any more straightforward than what you've done here. Bravo.
Goodness me, this is a game changer! No more tediously doing harmonies voice by voice and then having to shift the notes up or down when you realise you ended up almost playing the same part twice between violins 1 and 2. The only downside I can think of is that I would then have to go back to the recorded parts and stretch the notes to make them legato, as you cannot play legato when you do chords. But still.... Awesome tutorial, thanks!
I believe this is the Spitfire Audio Symphony Orchestra. I’ll do a few more of these with different orchestral libraries in due course once I’ve gotten all the templates set up.
Another tutorial... time for buttery biscuits and green tea! By the way, I could not follow the first method you mentioned at the very beginning. You played the harmony on a piano and had it all in one track and then looked like as you kept on playing and recording, it was recording only the line you wanted into each respective track. How did you do that?
Waiting for there to be a properly formatted version for Ableton (especially with version 11 releasing soon with improved MPE functionality). Are there any challenges associated with their interface that makes Divisimate challenging to integrate?
it seems to me that the only way you can get this polyphonic effect is if you use a mini keyboard as far as the wind controller goes the effect would be just unison am I correct here?
Leave them in mono if you want to use legato transitions otherwise you can leave them in polyphonic mode if you just want to ‘pad’ some ensembles out on your keyboard.
Very cool. In the Perform mode, I take it these could be assigned to a shortcut key or something like a stream deck? (I don't have an ipad) I am new to composing and have no background in it, so I wonder if it is a common method to use the same keys for many instruments at the same time, and also if the automation should not be different for different instruments? Also, and I may have missed it, but it says up to 32 - are those midi channels? So I take it you manually set up a cubase template with matching instruments on each channel? Can you add more?
The software has 32 virtual MIDI poi let’s buy each port has 16 channels so there’s plenty of scope here. Yes, templates are key here in your DAW or you’ll spend more time connecting than playing!
I have pretty bad ADD but i play guitar and drums fairly decent so like if i'm just sitting on my intruments i can write fairly well, all this midi editing we have to do like you are saying literally kills my creative workflow and often i lose my train of thought and my ideas kinda fizzle out.. I just got this now since the updated to 1.4, it seems really good, just messing around with their presets. I need to work on my template better for having it mixed. i'm using CSS, CSB , spitfire studio woodwinds, and project sam percussion True Strike
@@DoryVideo I 100% understand that, you're like me and bounce around a lot. I'm trying to get more DAW work in before the next wow expansion drops in october because i'll be switching back to that "mode" again haha.
So there is a limit of 32 tracks that can use divisimate or did I misunderstand? What happens if you have one articulation per midi track ( a lot of tracks)? Could you have a legato setup with 32 tracks, a staccato setup with 32, etc. ? Thank you
Hello,,,,,I was watching your demo and I want to ask you,,,,in other to have the Divisimate,then I have to have the virtual instruments also ?? and does it have to be from AUDIO MODELING.CO or it can be any mono instrument ??
Divisimate will work with ANY DAW and ANY set of virtual instruments, even the most simple. It’s the perfect tool for splitting instruments across multiple tracks and notes. You don’t need any particular instrument to play it with. It’s even pretty cool with virtual synthesisers
Thank you for replying,,,,I have one more question if you don't mine,,,I down loaded the template for Jazz Band,,,,if I download the Divisimate will it bring the saxes,,the trumpets and the trombones or if not where can I find this 5 saxes 4 trombones and 4 trumpets ??
You have to use virtual instruments for those, such as the SWAM products. Divisimate only redirects MIDI information is has no sounds at all. As I said before it works with any virtual instrument or DAW.
How are you again Dory,,,hope you're having a great day thanks for replying,,,,I tried with other brass section like STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ HORNS from the company ImpactSoundWorks,,,all of the virtual saxes trumpets and trombones are mono and it does not work with Divisimate,,,it does not devide the sections in different tracks,,,,I wrote to tech support about questions that I have and they take too long in responding,,,,sorry to bother you but you seem to know about all this things,,,,I like to know if when you have 4 voices or 5 voices in Divisimate or what ever voices is been prepare,,,,if when you play sometimes like 2 notes or 3 notes,,,,if those notes are distribute to different parts,,,and also I would like to know if the trumpets,,trombones and saxes have all the expressions that horns can have ??
Ok you’re setting it up all wrong. Each instrument needs to have its own track on its own divisimate midi input. Then you have to set up Divisimate so that each note in your chord is sent to a different (or combination of) midi outputs corresponding to the instruments you are using. Divisimate works PERFECTLY with monophonic instruments. Google me and email me and we can get this sorted.

Okay, thank you! This is definitely a must have! What a glorious time to be a musician.
Yes, this is an incredible feat of software engineering. It never ceases to amaze me
Wow. Gotta hand it off to you. You explained it really well. The video was quite engaging as well, well thought out. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Excellent presentation. Clear and concise. Thanks.
Thanks
Super well explained, i am seriously considering buying it.
Don’t just consider it, do it! It really has saved me hours of playing!
Amazing! It's so helpful! Thanks mr. Dory.
You're very welcome!
Well explained and demonstrated…
Thank you so much. Just bought it today. Looks really promising.
Have fun!
There are a couple of great new features in the new 1.2 update!
Hi,what Library used,for kontakt ?
I believe this is the Spitfire Audio Symphony Orchestra. I’ll do a few more of these with different orchestral libraries in due course once I’ve gotten all the templates set up.
@@DoryVideo Thx
Absolutely incredible! Going to check out the price right now
It’s a very clever piece of software. It’s made arranging for strings/brass/winds etc effortless!
THANK YOU
Very clear & helpful explanation - thank you!
Thanks
this divisimate is amazing..thanks for sharing this tutorial with us...
My pleasure, it’s VERY clever….
Very clever indeed

Hi, just a lot of midi ports to contend with at first but once you have templates set up it’s easy to use.
it seems to me that the only way you can get this polyphonic effect is if you use a mini keyboard as far as the wind controller goes the effect would be just unison am I correct here?
great video!
i am confused whether to leave my instruments on monophonic or polyphonic mode though
Leave them in mono if you want to use legato transitions otherwise you can leave them in polyphonic mode if you just want to ‘pad’ some ensembles out on your keyboard.
@@DoryVideo thank you so much!
No worries, so many libraries only have a monophonic option these days….
Very cool. In the Perform mode, I take it these could be assigned to a shortcut key or something like a stream deck?

hey dory, for some reason I thought you'd stopped making videos
nice to see you back
Always here, just focussing on different topics!

Divisimate has 32 midi outputs, you can sign any output to any instrument/midi Chanel in your daw.
What's the source of your orchestral sound library? Thanks for the video.
This was a mix of Spitfire audio symphony orchestra and spitfire audio BBC orchestra I think.
Exellent Video Thank you
My pleasure
Can the presets be programmed to automate switch sections as well, or must we actively change them?
You can programme the through midi yes
this is bothering me but what is the music at the end? it's at the tip pf my tongue but can't recall the theme as my memory escapes me.
Just a series of made up notes I’m afraid. If it’s recognisable I think it’s total chance.
Does it work when you use expression maps on your instruments? Is it possible to set this up?
Yes it is, I’m planning to make a whole load more videos over Christmas break.. stay tuned!
how do you make this work with FL studio?? thanks!!
The same way as with Cubase…
DO SOME OF THE COLLEAGUES KNOW HOW TO INFORM IF THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE PLUGIN TO WORK LIKE "DIVISIMATE" OR "ARC AUDIOBRO LASS"? THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Sorry to my knowledge there is nothing else available as a plug-in. Just buy Divisimate, it’s excellent!
