Divisimate 2.1 Update Adds Key Split and USB Control
Nextmidi has launched the Divisimate 2.1 update, bringing multi-zone Key Split capabilities and wired USB connection support to its flagship real-time orchestration engine. The software enables composers to dynamically split polyphonic keyboard input across multiple virtual instrument tracks within any DAW. The update is completely free for all existing Divisimate 2 license holders.
Multipad Key Splits for Layered Arrangements
The central feature of the Divisimate 2.1 update is the new Key Split function integrated into Multipads. Users can now partition their MIDI controller keyboard into two or three independent performance zones. Each split zone can run its own discrete orchestration preset, voice allocation rule, or transposer setting side by side.
This workflow allows film, TV, and game composers to perform low brass basslines or chord beds with the left hand while executing woodwind runs or string melodies with the right, with every voice routed live to separate virtual instrument tracks in real time.
Direct USB Connectivity and Performance Enhancements
Alongside internal routing improvements, Divisimate 2.1 adds direct USB cable support for the DivisiControl remote app on iPad and mobile devices. While previous iterations relied exclusively on local Wi-Fi networks for remote preset switching and XY pad modulation, users can now tether their tablet directly over USB. This wired connection bypasses congested wireless environments, eliminates Wi-Fi latency, and provides stable communication during studio recording sessions and live performances.
Key additions in Divisimate 2.1 include:
- Dynamic two-way and three-way Key Split inside Multipads
- Independent voicing presets and transpositions per split zone
- Wired USB tethering support for the DivisiControl companion app
- Enhanced multi-port MIDI routing stability and bug fixes
