HarmoLink inside your music software: the VST3 plugin.
Compose your chords on the circle without leaving your music software. The grid plays at your project's tempo, and you drag the MIDI onto a track, towards your own instruments. For Windows, included in Pro.
Software
Windows · VST3“Tried”: tested by us. Other software that loads VST3 plugins connects the same way.
What it is for
In its web version, HarmoLink is a tool to understand and write harmony. In your music software, you also want what you write to play with your instruments, inside your project. The plugin makes that link: you open HarmoLink like any instrument, compose on the circle, and your software plays the grid.
HarmoLink sends MIDI notes. The sound itself comes from your virtual instrument: piano, strings, synth, whatever you already have.
What the plugin does
- In time with your software. Playback, loops and jumps follow your project's playhead, note for note.
- Drag the MIDI. The whole grid, a single chord or your selection: drop them straight onto a track.
- One track per part. Left hand, right hand, bass, melody and voices can each come out on their own MIDI channel, so you can give them different instruments.
- Kept in your project. Your HarmoLink piece is saved with your software's project and comes back each time you open it.
Installing it, in four steps
- Download the archive with the “Download for Windows” button on this page.
- Open it, double-click “Installer HarmolinkVST.bat” and accept the Windows prompt.
- Restart your music software. HarmoLink shows up among your instruments.
- Connect it to an instrument. The PDF guide shows the connection step by step, software by software.
Price and licence
The plugin is included in Pro, with the same licence key: no extra product to buy. It also works during the free 7-day trial. When you first open it, it asks for your key or starts the trial.
It needs an internet connection and updates itself: an improvement to HarmoLink is available in the plugin without reinstalling anything.
What it doesn't do, for now
- Windows only (10 and 11, 64-bit). On Mac, open HarmoLink in the browser and export your grid as MIDI into your software.
- Pro Tools doesn't load VST3 plugins: there too, use HarmoLink's MIDI export.
- Software we have tried: FL Studio and Studio One. Cubase, Ableton Live and other VST3 software should connect the same way, but we haven't tested them ourselves yet.
