Fluid Chords can be used in multiple ways. It can be used either as,

• Instrument Plugin (named as “Fluid Chords”) :
  • “Fluid Chords” is a hosting enabled MIDI-FX plugin that can be used just like any other instrument plugin by inserting it on a MIDI track. You can host your favorite MPE synths via the “Synth” dropdown. 

• MIDI FX Plugin (named as “Fluid Chords MFX”) :
  • The MIDI FX version is recommended for the ease of Logic Pro X users. Fluid Chords MFX can be inserted in the ‘MIDI FX’ insert and an MPE compatible instrument plugin should be inserted via the ‘Instrument’ insert.
• Standalone Application :
  • The standalone app can be used outside the DAW to connect to a hardware synth or back to the DAW via MIDI Output “Fluid Chords STANDALONE”. The standalone application also allows you to record and edit MPE data.

4.1 Using Fluid Chords as an Instrument plugin

     “Fluid Chords” is a hosting enabled MIDI-FX plugin that can be used just like any other instrument plugin by inserting it on a MIDI track. You can host your favorite MPE synths via the “Synth” dropdown.

     NOTE – It is important to note that the ‘INST. BEND RANGE’ in Fluid Chords Settings matches the Pitch Bend up/down range of the synth instrument that is being used. For plugin specific help, you can use the “MPE Guide” button in the top left of the hosted synth’s plugin window.
