# Forma Labs Audio

> Professional MIDI orchestration tools for composers and producers.

Last updated: July 15, 2026

Forma Labs Audio develops Filament, a real-time MIDI orchestration engine that hosts and performs up to 64 AU/VST3 instruments in a single DAW track. It sits between MIDI input and the instruments composers already use, giving producers and composers a faster way to perform, route, trigger, sequence, and reuse complex orchestration setups. Founded in 2021 by composer Will Turner.

## Filament

Current status: Filament is available now as a MIDI orchestration plugin and standalone app for macOS and Windows. The standard one-time price is £149. Checkout adds installer access to the customer account.
