Performance Modelling Instruments
Rubato turns flat MIDI demos into expressive, human performances — real instruments, played the way you meant them.
First launch (unsigned during beta): on macOS right-click → Open; on Windows click More info → Run anyway.
The idea
Not samples. Not presets. Performances.
A sampler plays back a recording. Rubato plays your part. Its models listen to what you wrote — your timing, your dynamics, your phrasing — and perform it on a real instrument, note for note.
You keep composing the way you already do. Rubato makes it sound played.
How it works
Compose the way you already do. Rubato does the performing.
Write or play your MIDI in your DAW. Hear an instant preview of every note as you go.
Arm a section and play it through. Rubato captures your timing, dynamics, and phrasing.
On stop, the instrument is performed in the cloud and dropped straight onto your timeline.
A warm, expressive nylon guitar — Rubato's first Performance Modelling Instrument, rendered by our own 48 kHz model. More instruments are on the way, each streamed straight into the Portal.
