Description
Majoris Free by Fanan Team is a synth-based arranger organ that brings hardware-style auto-accompaniment into your DAW. It emulates the automatic accompaniment method found in keyboards like the Korg PA900, with built-in drums, bass, and accompaniment oscillators that play user-programmable styles directly from your instrument channel.
The plugin splits the keyboard into two zones, just like a physical arranger organ. The right zone plays solo instruments using the built-in synth, while the left zone controls chord recognition in fingered or one-finger mode.
Majoris Free includes six variation slots per style, covering intros, main variations, fills, and endings. Each variation can be controlled via MIDI controllers, pads, or keyboard notes, and destinations can be reprogrammed.
The internal sound engine pairs a 10-slot drum sampler with built-in effects alongside a bass synth featuring ducking and a solo synth with three switchable variations per style. The style sequencer uses the same programming method as Fanan Team's Callisto, supporting both minor and major chord variations with dedicated or DAW-synced tempo.
User reviews on Plugins4Free praise its ambition, with one commenter noting it "sounds way better than my Korg PA500." MIDINation highlights its uniqueness, calling its chief strength the arranger organ functionality rather than pure sound quality. It is a Windows-only VST plugin with a resizable GUI and full automation support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Majoris Free differ from the paid Majoris version?
Majoris Free is a complete edition with a few limitations compared to the paid version. It has 6 variation slots instead of 10, lacks the solo MIDI out connection to third-party VSTi instruments in the DAW, and does not include the separate 6 audio outputs to individual DAW channels.
Can you create and save custom styles in Majoris Free?
Yes, Majoris Free includes the full style sequencer based on Fanan Team's Callisto programming method. You can program both minor and major chord variations of your styles and save each with its own unique tempo or synced to the DAW.
What is an arranger organ VST and how does it work?
An arranger organ VST emulates the auto-accompaniment system found in hardware keyboards like the Korg PA series. It splits the keyboard into two zones: the left hand controls chord detection that drives automated drums, bass, and accompaniment patterns, while the right hand plays solo melodies over the backing arrangement.
Does Majoris Free work on macOS or Linux?
No, Majoris Free is currently Windows-only. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit VST formats. There is no macOS, Linux, or AU/AAX version available.
