What Virtual Pianist is
Virtual Pianist combines sampled piano instruments with a session-pianist engine that generates piano performances from chords, so users can make piano parts without piano skills. Instrument Mode lets you play the sampled instrument directly; Player Mode generates parts from chords. SCORE supports MIDI drag and drop for using its player output with other instruments. The plug-ins run on macOS and Windows in 64-bit VST 2, VST 3, AU 2, and AAX formats, and UJAM lists support for major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, and Reason. Installation and authorization require a downloadable installer, the UJAM App, and an internet connection for setup and initial use; authorized plug-ins can run offline. SCORE has a free, fully functional demo, and a free trial can be started in the UJAM App. SCORE and VOGUE cost $129, paid once each; VIBE costs $12,900, paid once.
