The Plugin That Bends The Rules

Fluid Chords 2 isn’t just an update — it’s a leap forward. With smarter musicality, new sound engines, and real-time performance enhancements, it transforms how harmony moves.

Fluid Chords 2 is an intelligent chord bending plugin that enables you to bend from any chord to any chord in real-time! 

With intelligent harmony generation, expressive controls, and our Fluid MPE Sound Engine, create music that’s never been heard before!

Smarter Chord Bending: A brand new voice-leading engine ensures the most musical bends ever.

Strum: The new Strum feature lets each note bend one after the other, adding a natural expressive feel to your bending.

Flow: Choose how chords resolve — either close together, spread further apart or cross each other in between.

Intelligent Harmony Engine: Generate fresh chord progressions instantly with the Harmony Engine. Choose a key and genre to generate inspiring chord progressions with the click of a button.

‘Fluid Sound Engine’ : Introducing the hybrid sound engine powered by a Wavetable Synth and MPE Sampler designed to breathe life into your chords! Blend between Organic & Synthesized layers for a truly unique, bend-ready sound. Comes with built-in Gater, Reverb, Delay, and Compressor.

Enhanced Real-Time Performance Mode: Perform, improvise, and create — live. With the new Real-Time Mode, you can bend chords on the fly with just your MIDI controller, no sustain pedal needed! Instantly shape your music, whether you’re on Stage or in the Studio.

Split & Play Mode: Enable Split & Play mode in the Sound Page — Just hit one key to trigger expressive chord bends with your left hand, while your right hand is free to play melodies. 

Twice the Harmony: Now add up to 16 chords instead of 8 — all chromatically mapped from C1 to C3, so you can trigger any chord with a single key — No more limits, Just more music.

Glide Time & Curve: Control how long your chords take to Auto-Bend with the Glide Time setting, and shape the feel of the bend using the Glide Curve — from smooth transitions to bold, dramatic shifts.  

Re-invent Your Synths: Host your favourite MPE compatible Synths or Samplers inside Fluid Chords 2 — Unlock expressive chord bends, intelligent voice leading and reinvent them like never before
