True legato
Legato stays legato
Sample libraries play their legato transitions when one note overlaps the next. Most MIDI splitting cuts notes short, so you lose them. Simple Divisi keeps each voice connected, and Leg Grace and Leg Overlap let you match it to your library.
Voice by voice
Each voice stays on its instrument
A note you’re holding never moves to another instrument. New notes wait for a free voice, so the parts stay where you put them.
Compatibility
Works in your DAW
Use it in Logic Pro’s MIDI FX slot, or as a VST3 in Cubase, Studio One, Reaper and Bitwig. For Ableton Live, FL Studio and Pro Tools, the included standalone app sends the six channels through its own virtual MIDI port.
Six voices, true legato, one payment
Set up in three steps
1
Add it to a MIDI track

2
Point six channels at your instruments
Kontakt, Opus, any multi-timbral instrument, or six separate tracks.
3

Black Friday Sale: Simple Divisi is just $19.99 (was $49) until 3 December. No code needed.
Requires macOS 10.15 or later, or Windows 10 or later. Makes no sound itself: use it with your own instruments.
When might Divisimate suit you better?
If you need more than six parts, many ports for a large template, arpeggiators and humanising, or a plugin inside Pro Tools (AAX), Divisimate Core or Divisimate 2 is built for that.
Questions
Is Simple Divisi a good Divisimate alternative?
Yes, if you want to play chords and hear up to six parts on their own instruments, with legato kept for sample libraries, inside your DAW. If you need eight voices and dozens of ports, Divisimate Core or 2 go further.
Does it work in Ableton Live and FL Studio?
Yes. Run the included standalone app next to your DAW, and it sends the six channels in through its own virtual MIDI port. In Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper and Bitwig it runs as a plugin.
What doesn’t Simple Divisi do?
It splits into six channels at most, has no arpeggiator or sequencer, and makes no sound of its own. It doesn’t come as an AAX plugin: in Pro Tools you use the standalone app.
What do I need to run it?
macOS 10.15 or later (native on Apple Silicon and Intel), or Windows 10 64-bit or later, and the instruments you want it to play.
One chord in. Six voices out.
Play the parts once and hear every one on its own instrument.
