SongWish reMIDI 3

SongWish reMIDI 3 is not just a plugin; it is a fundamental shift in how producers interact with musical data, transforming static MIDI files into an entirely new, playable instrument. Billed as a "MIDI Sampler," reMIDI 3’s core concept is to treat melodic phrases and harmonic progressions much like audio slices, allowing for instant auditioning, chopping, and rearrangement to generate music that is both informed by existing ideas and 100% unique in its execution.

The plugin’s innovative 2D Browsing Experience is key to this unique workflow. Within the Previewer, a user can navigate through hundreds of MIDI files vertically (up and down through different compositions) and horizontally (left and right through time slices within a single file). This fluid, visual exploration allows for the rapid discovery of inspirational motifs—a bass line here, a chord progression there—without the cumbersome process of manually dragging files into the DAW’s piano roll.

Once a compelling segment is found, it is instantly assigned to one of the 16 Polyphonic Pads in the Grid. This turns the plugin into a real-time, playable performance tool, where the user can trigger, layer, and rearrange these sampled MIDI phrases on the fly. This performance-centric approach encourages creative spontaneity and happy accidents that lead directly to original material. Imagine combining a Bach chorale’s bassline with a neo-soul harmony set, and then playing them together in a completely new rhythm—that’s the power reMIDI 3 offers.

The suite of built-in Editor Tools ensures the resulting music is truly bespoke. The Harmony Tool and Chord Completion can take a simple sequence and suggest musically valid, complex variations, acting as a compositional assistant. For adding that crucial organic feel, the Humanize Tool introduces subtle, performance-like variations in velocity and timing, effortlessly removing the robotic precision of programmed MIDI. Furthermore, the Strum Tool and Melody Tool provide sophisticated ways to break up chords or transform them into intricate melodic lines, ensuring the final output is tailored exactly to the producer's vision.

By facilitating a non-destructive, fluid relationship with musical data, SongWish reMIDI 3 elevates the art of MIDI sampling. It provides a highly focused creative environment to quickly deconstruct the genius of existing compositions, extract their harmonic essence, and repurpose it to lay the groundwork for genuinely new, inspired, and compositionally advanced tracks.
