Filament 1.2

Forma Labs Audio has released Filament 1.2.0, adding MPE expression, Auto Divisi and Host Mode to its real-time MIDI orchestration engine.

Filament turns a keyboard performance into an arrangement across the instruments and sample libraries you already use. It hosts up to 64 AU/VST3 instruments in one DAW track, with real-time routing, arpeggiation and MIDI clip launching.

What’s new in 1.2

- MPE: Per-note pitch bend, pressure and timbre for hosted instruments.
- Auto Divisi: Automatically distribute chord notes across instrument parts.
- Host Mode: Play edited DAW MIDI parts directly through Filament’s hosted instruments.
- Note-off Revoice: Choose whether releasing a key redistributes the remaining notes.
- Routing highlights: See connections across input layers more clearly.
- Matrix Mute/Solo: Silence or isolate instrument rows directly from the routing matrix.

Filament also includes MIDI output routing, introduced in version 1.1.

Filament is available for Mac and Windows as VST3, AU on macOS, and Standalone, priced at £149 for a perpetual licence. Version 1.2.0 is a free update for existing owners. Instrument plugins and sample libraries are supplied by the user.
