What it is
SongEngine creates chord progressions and generates matching basslines, phrases, and melodies. Users can make chords with Chord Pads, import MIDI progressions, or generate progressions in the plug-in. Its free core includes 60+ presets for basslines, arpeggios, phrases, and melodies. Live Mode turns MIDI chords sent from a keyboard or DAW into new MIDI phrases in real time. Generated parts can be dragged into a DAW as standard MIDI files; an optional MassExporter can write hundreds of phrases to a computer folder. SongEngine runs as a VST2, VST3, or AU plug-in and needs a compatible host such as FL Studio or Ableton Live. It supports 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, and macOS 10.13 or later on 64-bit Intel or Apple Silicon processors. There is no official Linux build, though the manual says users have reported using Wine. The maker says its algorithms were crafted by human musicians, not AI, and generated MIDI files may be used in commercial releases.
