MIDIHuman Comp

MIDIHuman Comp is an AUv3 MIDI processor for the chord part — organ, piano, pads, guitar. It makes no sound of its own: your chords go in and come out on their way to your instrument, played the way a comping player would play them — a little different every time round.

It never writes new chords for you. It works on top of what you play: variations happen only on the steps you mark, only as often as you set, and always on the chord your loop plays there.

HUMANIZE AND GROOVE
- A chord lands a little late now and then — the whole chord together, never smeared into a strum — and velocities move
- Quantize toward a grid and add swing

LEARN
- Hears the key — or set it yourself
- Remembers the chord on every 16th (up to six notes each), in loops of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars, and names it
- PLAY keeps the learned chords going by themselves; FREEZE keeps them exactly as they are

VARY AND FILL
- On a chord: an octave on top, the next inversion, a top note that leans and resolves, a staccato chop, a re-strike
- Between chords: organ stabs, and chords that arrive early
- Eight chord fills — inversion climbs and drops, stabs, triplet stabs, doublings, a drop-out, an anticipation. Tap FILL or set Auto Fill
- Swaps: move everything an octave, or spread the voicings from close to open

PRESETS
- Factory presets: Organ Stabs, Gospel Push, Soft Pads, Funk Chops, Harmony Lines
- Your own presets and stored chord loops; host parameters for automation
- A searchable User Guide inside the plug-in

WITH THE MIDIHUMAN FAMILY
Load MIDIHuman Drums, Bass or Lead in the same host session and they find each other: one shared groove, fills that start and hit together, and a FOLLOW fader for each sibling.
- One shared key with Bass and Lead; voicings kept above Bass and below Lead
- Sends your chords to Bass, so its walks and fills follow your changes
- Harmonize: now and then doubles Lead's line a 3rd or 6th below
- With Drums: lean on the kick and sit in its pocket
Each MIDIHuman app is sold separately and works on its own.

REQUIREMENTS
- An AUv3 host that loads MIDI processors and provides tempo and transport. Tested in Loopy Pro.
- A chord sound after it — an AUv3 instrument, another app or hardware.
- Without the host's clock it still humanizes; learning, variations and fills need the clock.
- iPad and iPhone.
