Filigree is a melodic sketchpad for developing musical ideas.
Drop in a phrase and Filigree fans it into dozens of related variations — invert
it, augment it, revoice it — so you can find the keeper that develops your piece,
or stumble onto the spark for a whole new one. Bring an idea and grow it, or reach
for one when the page is blank.
Built for composers, songwriters, producers, and anyone who takes a small musical
idea and works it.
HOW IT WORKS
- Start a phrase — draw it on a simple grid with no rhythm notation to wrestle
with, import a MIDI or MusicXML file from your notation app, or tap Random for an
in-key idea to riff on.
- Branch variations — from any phrase, add a mathematically-related variation, or
hit Surprise me for a whole spread at once. Your original always stays put, so you
can explore a full family tree of ideas without losing your place.
- Keep the ones you love — star a variation to save it, then audition it, loop it,
and compare two side by side.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Around thirty musical transforms across reversal, inversion, rhythm, harmony,
contour, and structure — each adjustable, not one-size-fits-all.
- Harmony and voicings, with a harmonic-rhythm control for turning a single line
into something fuller.
- A standard-notation view on a real staff, plus MusicXML export for Sibelius,
MuseScore, Dorico, or Finale.
- MIDI and MusicXML import and export — pull an existing melody in to develop it,
and send any keeper straight to your DAW.
