MPE expression plugin · VST3 / AU · Win & Mac
WRITE IT PLAIN. HEAR IT BEND.
BEND DEMON hosts your synth and turns the plain melody you write in FL Studio's piano roll into MPE: glides, chord glides, vibrato, 808 dives, wobble, shake, trills – every bend locked to your key.

Same notes · before / after
You wrote the notes.
BEND DEMON made them move.
Gestures
Eight ways to make a note move.
Pick a gesture and BEND DEMON writes the pitch, pressure and timbre movement for every note you play. Each voice moves on its own – that's what MPE is for.
GLIDE
Legato notes slide into each other instead of jumping.
CHORD GLIDE
Each voice of a chord melts into its own note of the next chord.
VIBRATO
Rate, depth and delay, so it opens up after the attack.
808 DIVE
The note dives down when you release it.
RISE
The note rises up when you release it.
WOBBLE
Slow, wide pitch movement that rolls under the note.
SHAKE
A fast, tight shake for aggressive leads.
TRILL
Rapid alternation between the note and its neighbour.
SCALE LOCK
Every bend lands in key. Pick the scale and glides, dives and rises snap to it.
PRESSURE & TIMBRE
Per-note envelopes. In the Voice Field, pressure is the ribbon's thickness and timbre is its colour.

Whole song · 32 bars
Not one effect.
A whole song in motion.
Lead, chords and 808 all bending at once. Colour travels through the song, so in the Voice Field you always see where you are.
LEAD
Vibrato on long notes, dives and slides between phrases, a wobble to close the hook.
CHORDS
Every voice glides into the next chord. In the bridge they collapse to one note.
808
Each section ends with a dive that lands in key, thanks to Scale Lock.
Dimension view
Tilt the field.
See every layer.
Press DIMENSION and the Voice Field tilts into 3D: lead in front, harmony and chords behind it, the 808 on the floor.

MPE synths
- Serum 2 MPE ✓
- Vital MPE ✓
- Pigments MPE ✓
- Phase Plant MPE ✓

Serum 1 has no MPE, so a bend moves the whole chord instead of one voice. Single-note leads and 808s still bend fine.
FAQ
Straight answers
Which DAWs does it work in?
BEND DEMON is a VST3 instrument on Windows and a VST3 / AU instrument on macOS, so it loads in DAWs that host those formats. It's designed around the FL Studio workflow shown on this page. There's also a standalone app.
Which synths can I use?
Any VST3 or AU synth with MPE support – for example Serum 2, Vital, Pigments or Phase Plant. BEND DEMON turns on MPE mode and sets the bend range for you. With Serum 1 (no MPE), bends move the whole chord.
Does it work with FL Studio's own synths?
No. FL's native plugins don't receive MPE from a VST, so load any VST3 / AU MPE synth inside BEND DEMON instead.
Can I drag the bends out as MIDI?
FL's piano roll doesn't store per-note bends, so there's nothing to drag back into it. Use MIDI-out mode to route the MPE to another channel instead.
Windows or Mac – which one do I pick?
Pick the platform you make music on in the Platform switch above. Windows 10/11: VST3 + standalone. macOS 11+: VST3, AU and standalone, signed and notarized.
What licence do I get?
A personal licence: you use BEND DEMON in your own productions. Please don't share or resell the plugin itself. One-time price, no subscription, no iLok.
