Write a short prompt describing your musical vision, e.g. “A heroic theme about two knights preparing for battle at dawn…”
AI for cinematic composers
Turn your musical sketches into complete orchestral scores — guided by AI.
From a few bars of melody to a fully structured orchestral plan, ready for your DAW.
- Instant orchestration structure
- Simplified and Professional modes
- Export to PDF and use beside your DAW
The problem
From 8 bars… to nowhere?
You’ve got a strong idea — 8 or 16 bars that sound great.
But when it’s time to turn it into a full track, you hit a wall.
You open Logic or Cubase, load your favorite Spitfire library… and stare at the screen.
The problem isn’t inspiration. The problem is orchestration and structure.
Orchestration Planner turns that fragment into a complete, playable orchestral plan — step by step.
Who it’s for
Made for composers who…
- Compose for films, games, trailers or YouTube and want faster, more confident workflows.
- Own orchestral libraries (Spitfire, BBCSO, Cinematic Studio, Sonuscore) but still struggle to finish tracks.
- Understand music theory but not orchestration — yet.
- Watch orchestrators on YouTube (e.g. Guy Michelmore) and think: “If only I could finish my pieces like that.”
Workflow
How it works in 3 steps
2. Choose your mode
Pick Simplified for quick, clear guidance — or Professional for deep orchestration, harmony, and mixing notes.
3. Generate and export
In seconds, get a multi-section orchestration plan with instrumentation, dynamics, articulations, harmony, emotional intent, and transitions. Export as PDF and follow it in your DAW.

What the AI actually gives you
Based on the prompt: “A heroic theme about two knights about to take a battle at dawn…”, Orchestration Planner creates multi-part structure:
Simplified output
Flute + Oboe over sustained Cellos and Harp → peaceful D minor → soft dynamics and legato phrasing → rising harp gliss → heroic brass fanfare with Timpani → battle section → bittersweet aftermath.
Professional output
Segmented score (Prelude to Dawn → The Call to Arms → Clash of Steel → Moment of Victory) with specific instrumentation (flute, clarinet, harp, muted strings, full brass, aggressive percussion), harmonic movement (E minor → C → G → A minor), articulations (sul ponticello, col legno, spiccato), and mixing notes (panning, reverb, depth).
Modes
Two modes. One goal: finish the piece.
Pick the depth that matches your current project or skill level.
Simplified
- 4-part cinematic structure
- Clear instrument roles
- Emotion-first language
- Ready-to-follow transitions
Professional
- Advanced orchestration detail
- Harmony suggestions and key centers
- Articulation and dynamics guidance
- Mixing and spatial placement tips
Features
What you get in every plan
AI-generated orchestration map
Your idea is expanded into sections with a cinematic arc.
Realistic instrument pairings
Woodwinds, brass, strings and percussion used the way real orchestrators use them.
Dynamics, articulations, harmony
Not just “use strings here”, but HOW — legato, spiccato, marcato, sul tasto…
Mixing pro-tips
Panning, reverb and balance notes so your track feels wide and cinematic.
PDF export
Keep the plan next to your DAW session and follow it like a creative brief.
Momentum
Why it works
Most ideas die unfinished not because the composer lacks talent — but because they lack a roadmap.
Orchestration Planner gives you that roadmap.
You get structure → which gives you momentum → which lets you finally finish tracks, albums, and client work.
Finish more music, faster.
Learn orchestration by example.
Gain confidence in your orchestral library investments.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is an orchestration plan?
It’s a structured musical blueprint: sections, instruments, articulations, harmony, dynamics, and transitions. It’s not notation — it’s your creative map to follow in the DAW.
Do I need to know music theory?
Basic knowledge helps, but it’s not required. If you know what a key or chord is, you can use the tool. The language is practical and cinematic.
What’s the difference between Simplified and Professional?
Simplified is shorter, clearer and emotion-first. Professional goes deeper: more sections, advanced articulations, harmonic movement, and mixing guidance.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. You own 100% of the music you create from the plan. The tool only provides guidance.
Does it integrate with Logic/Cubase/Ableton?
You export the plan as a PDF and follow it while working in your DAW. It’s designed to sit next to your session like a producer’s notes.
Is this a learning tool or a production tool?
Both. You can use it to finish a client cue today, and at the same time you’ll pick up orchestration patterns you can reuse.
What genres does it work best for?
Orchestral, cinematic, trailer, fantasy/adventure, emotional scores, game music and hybrid underscoring.
What’s coming next?
Planned features include DAW-friendly exports (MIDI suggestions), more style presets, and notation-friendly output.
