Virtual Pianist
What Virtual Pianist is
Virtual Pianist combines sampled piano instruments with an engine that creates piano performances from chords, including for users who do not play piano. Instrument Mode lets you play a sampled instrument directly; Player Mode generates parts from chords. SCORE supports MIDI drag and drop so its player output can be used with other instruments. The plug-ins run on macOS and Windows and support 64-bit VST 2, VST 3, AU 2, and AAX formats. UJAM lists compatibility with major DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, and Reason. Installation and authorization require the UJAM App and an internet connection for initial use; authorized plug-ins can then run offline. A free, fully functional SCORE demo is available, and the free trial can be started through the app. SCORE and VOGUE cost $129, paid once; VIBE costs $12,900, paid once. Virtual Pianist is a plug-in rather than a standalone app.
