Online mastering and music creation platform LANDR has acquired Orb Plugins, and quickly put its expertise in AI plugins to use with the all-new LANDR Composer. Driven by AI, the plugin aims to support artists in generating chord progressions, basslines, melodies and harmonies.
Essentially an enhanced version of Orb’s existing Orb Producer Pro plugin, LANDR Composer “integrates the best of Orb’s powerful assistive intelligence algorithms into LANDR’s ecosystem, offering an intuitive, efficient, and refreshing experience for creators at every level”.
New features brought by LANDR Composer include:
- Assistive Chord Generation: Automatically create and tweak complex chord progressions and individual chords.
- Assistive MIDI Generation: For generating unique chord, bassline, melody and arpeggio performances.
- Scenes and Song Mode: Organise and arrange multiple musical ideas into a full composition.
Chord Progression Guide: Edit, move, and refine chords to perfect your harmonic sequences.
Preset Sounds and MIDI Editing: Use the built-in synthesizer to generate sounds and edit MIDI with a piano roll for precise control.
Performance Modifiers: Using simple controls, you can easily modify musical elements of MIDI-generated patterns, such as polyphony and humanization.
Drag-and-Drop Integration: Easily drag MIDI patterns into your DAW.
“We are thrilled to welcome Orb Plugins products to LANDR and to introduce LANDR Composer as a key part of our suite of creative tools,” says Pascal Pilon, Founder and CEO of LANDR. “Our mission has always been to make music creation accessible to all by providing high-quality, cutting-edge tools. This recent acquisition has allowed us to enhance the unique technology developed and refined by the Orb team over the past decade and add new features that bring even more fun and excitement to the music creation process, all while maintaining complete creative control for artists.”
Adds Richard Portelli, CEO of AI music tool maker Hexachords: “As the CEO of Hexachords, I’m excited about the synergy between Orb’s innovative technology and LANDR’s cutting-edge products. This integration combines our strengths, offering music makers a more seamless and enriched creative experience. With this acquisition, LANDR will be able to push the boundaries of what’s possible, bringing enhanced features and fresh inspiration to artists everywhere.”
