Fanan team has released Majoris, a synth based arranger organ for Windows.
Fanan team says:
Majoris is a synth based arranger organ that can enhance creativity and help songwriters and composers to quickly compose new ideas and melodies. It emulates the automatic accompaniment organs method (like in Korg PA900, etc.) and powers a built-in drums & bass oscillators and sampler to play styles that can be programmed by the user and played as a style with no additional MIDI routing, internal MIDI connection or MIDI cables straight from your instrument channel in the DAW.
Like any other hardware arranger organ, Majoris splits the physical keyboard into 2 zones. The right zone plays solo instruments. The user can use the built-in synth for that or simply route the MIDI signal to other VSTis opened in the DAW by MIDI channels. The left zone controls the played style's chords which can be switched in fingered or one finger mode.
Majoris has 10 variations slots per style include intros, main variations, fills and ends. The variations can be controlled by any MIDI controller or even with MIDI pads or the keyboard notes. Even the "jump to" destinations can be re-programmed.
