Installation, System Requirements and Licence Help

No. It writes MIDI. Play previews the pattern through the instrument that follows in your chain, such as a Kontakt library, a piano or a string patch.

Major and minor chords directly. Sevenths, add chords, sus, diminished, augmented and power chords are read as the major or minor chord behind them. The notes of a chord need to start together, roughly: it does not have to be quantised. Notes played one after another, as an arpeggio, are not read as a chord.

It reads the chords your DAW plays into the plugin’s track. Put the chord part on the same track as the plugin, press Read Chords, then press Play in your DAW, and stop when the chords have played. Bar lines and the time signature come from your project. The chords do not have to be quantised; each one lasts until the next.

FL Studio does not let you drag a pattern into a plugin window, so use Read Chords: put the chords into the Piano roll of the channel the plugin is on, press Read Chords in the plugin, then Play in FL Studio, and Stop when the chords have played. Exporting the chords as a MIDI file and dragging that file in works too.

2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8 and 12/8, in both instruments.

Yes. Open Edit and the pattern becomes a piano roll: move, draw and delete notes, change velocity, or snap notes to the chord. You can also drag the MIDI into your DAW and edit it there.

Yes. Every note lands where it sits in the roll, the time signature is in the file, the part ends on the bar line, and a muted voice is left out. In Piano, the sustain pedal is included as CC64.

It is off by default. Switched on, every note that clashes with its chord or lies outside the key of the song is moved by a semitone onto a note that fits. The key is the first chord of your progression. The notes of the chord itself never move.

With DAW Sync on, the pattern plays along whenever your DAW plays, bar for bar, and stops cleanly when the DAW stops. The small arrow on the button chooses how: From the start begins with the first bar wherever you press play, Locked to the bars keeps the pattern on your project’s bars. Play in the plugin works as before.

Three parts in one project, for a verse, a chorus and a bridge. Each part has its own chords and its own pattern, and a new part starts as a copy of A. Key, time signature, the faders, Character, In Key and DAW Sync are shared by all three. Save As Preset lets you choose which parts go into the preset.

It brings in the chords from Chords, our free chord engine: the progression that is open in Chords right now, or any Chords preset you saved. Key, time signature and parts come along, A to A, B to B, C to C, just as if you had dragged the chords in from Chords.

In your Music folder: Music/Titanscore Audio/Ostinato/User Presets and Music/Titanscore Audio/Piano/User Presets, on macOS and Windows alike. Updates never touch that folder. To take your presets to another computer, copy the folder; the files work on both systems.

Only once, to activate. After that it runs fully offline, even in a studio without internet. When the computer is online, the plugin occasionally confirms the licence and checks for updates; without a connection, nothing changes.

When a new version is available, the plugin shows a note in its window with a link to the installer in your account. Nothing is downloaded automatically.

Look for Titanscore Ostinato, under Titanscore Audio, and let your DAW rescan its plugins. In Cubase, also check the blocklist in the VST Plug-in Manager.

It can be, with a brand-new version. The installer is signed by TUNES OF FANTASY GmbH, the company behind Titanscore Audio, but Windows only stops asking once it has seen a file installed often enough. Click “More info”, check that the publisher is TUNES OF FANTASY GmbH, then “Run anyway”.

Yes. You can use what the plugin writes in any release, royalty-free and without credit. The licence is non-exclusive, so another user may arrive at the same pattern over the same chords. The patterns remain part of the plugin; the music you create with them is yours.

Only as part of your own music. The patterns themselves may not be passed on or sold as MIDI files, loops, presets or packs, and this also applies to patterns you have edited. The plugin and your licence key may not be shared either. The licence terms have the details.

No. The licence key is issued the moment you pay, so all sales are final, as is usual for downloadable software. If anything is unclear, please ask before you buy.
