Harmony Bloom by Mario Nieto (MIDI plugin)

[El°HYM]

Thanks, guys. So far, Element is perfect.

Element is pure Bliss; not sure if its still available for free though, as Michael made some changes recently.

This is a great option for hosting MIDI effects and other instruments, plus it's free!

The Github download is free. The v1 is $59 but I can't figure out what has been improved.

That's pretty great. Now I have to reinstall all my vst3's!

Element is the only one I've gotten to work as an actual MIDI plugin.

Nora, will host VSTi and VST fx. But will it host VSTi midi fx? viewtopic.php?t=425600
BespokeSynth – Is a stand-alone app. Will it host VSTi midi fx? It is free https://www.bespokesynth.com/

I think I should start by providing some context:

The original idea for Chordjam comes from a project I created years ago, available on my Gumroad in Max for Live format. There's a free version and a paid one, but I recommend waiting for the VST/AU/STANDALONE version as I still need to update my Gumroad.
On my Gumroad, you’ll also find other projects I developed and that were later converted into VSTs, such as Random Riff Generator Pro (Riffer), Random Filter Generator Pro (Filterstep), and Random Groove Generator Pro (Playbeat). You can even download a video game I created.

At first, I only knew how to develop with Max for Live, but over time I decided to learn C++ to create my own VST/AU plugins. However, when Riffer and Playbeat were published, I wasn't part of the development process since I didn’t know C++ at that time.

do those max for live devices work in live 12 max 8? i assume there aren't any compatibility issues. seems like most older devices made the jump ok.

I think they should work, although it's been a while since I last opened or modified them. I’ve abandoned developing for M4L to focus solely on VST/AU/STANDALONE/IOS...

By the way, I’ll take this opportunity to mention that I’ll be live in a bit, in case anyone wants to check out how the development of the new Chord Generator and the new version of Harmony Bloom is going. I'll leave the link here:

They work in Live 12.0.15. I have no idea about the Max version though.

Thanks a lot! Today I'll keep testing the more developed version of Chord Generator and Harmony Bloom. If you feel like joining, I'll be live in a bit.

Man, thank you so much for your steady, passionate Work. You created a real Gem and its even getting better with each Update.

Mario - Would it be possible to add multiple choices to what types of emails are sent to registered users? I'd definitely subscribe to emails regarding released updates but don't really need to be notified every time you're on Youtube demonstrating a development build which seems to be several times a week

Thank you so much for your comment! Honestly, I really enjoy developing.

No problem, it's understandable. I'll make a separate list for users who don't want to receive notifications when I go live. If you can send me an email letting me know it's you, I'll move your email to that list.
