About TAQS.IM

TAQS.IM (pronounced 'taksim') is a unique plugin developer focused on Middle Eastern and Turkish maqam music scales, providing tools that make microtonal and maqam-based composition accessible inside standard Western DAW environments. The name references 'taksim' — the Turkish/Arabic term for an improvised solo instrumental passage — reflecting the brand's deep cultural specificity. Their plugins include scale libraries, maqam-aware MIDI tools, and virtual instruments tuned to historical and regional intonation systems that standard 12-tone equal temperament cannot reproduce. TAQS.IM fills a genuine gap for composers working with Ottoman classical, Arabic, or Persian musical traditions.
