Orb Composer 1.5 is a major update to the AI-assisted composition software that lets you work standalone, without a DAW. Support for VST/AU plugins, a MIDI editor, and the new Quick import feature let you edit and customize AI-generated melodies and chord progressions in detail, making music creation intuitive for beginners and experienced users alike. With a drum step sequencer and a more accessible interface, it is a powerful production tool for anyone looking for arrangement ideas or interested in AI-assisted composition.

In this article, we will introduce the new features added in version 1.5.

Have a listen.
Most of the parts use AI-generated material. Both the Orb engine, which automatically creates MIDI phrases, and the Chord Progression engine, which generates chord progressions, have been redesigned to produce more musical results than before.
