Write your next Chillout track faster than ever.
No music theory required.

New sparks of inspiration within seconds

Have you ever struggled with writer's block when you wrote a Chillout track? Did the arpeggios feel lifeless? Were the keys "somewhat OK", and the melodies only so-so?

You can leave all this behind. ChilloutEngine is a plug-in (VST, AU) that generates new relaxed keys, smooth basslines, and memorable hooks from your MIDI chord progressions automatically.

The concept is simple:

1. Load ChilloutEngine on a track of your DAW.
2. Open the plug-in and import your MIDI chord progression. Or let ChilloutEngine generate a chord progression for you.
3. You can see a big list of presets now. Select a preset, then press play in your DAW for a preview.
4. Do you like a preset? Drag and drop the MIDI field to your DAW. The plug-in will copy the MIDI data to your DAW then.

Export the generated melodies as standard MIDI files

ChilloutEngine makes it easy to export the generated melodies. Simply click on the MIDI field behind a ChilloutEngine preset and drag it to a track of your DAW.

You can then work on the notes however you like. Use all the tools of your DAW to craft something completely unique - or simply leave the notes as they are.

The Pro version also includes a built-in mass-exporter. When you click on the "Export" button, you can write hundreds and hundreds of generated phrases directly to a folder on your computer. The perfect way to build your own collection of ready-to-use MIDI files.

Let ChilloutEngine generate the chords for you

ChilloutEngine contains several different chord progression generators to get you started even quicker.

Choose one of the optimized generator algorithms and ChilloutEngine will calculate a new chord progression for you.

This feature will save you a lot of time and get you out of writer's block. Whether you are an experienced musician or don't know anything about music theory.

Suitable for all Chillout styles - and more

ChilloutEngine comes with a big list of presets for all occasions.
The influences reach from classic Downtempo and Ambient songs to modern Lo-fi, Chillstep, and Lounge tracks.

Here are some examples where all chord progressions and melodies were generated with ChilloutEngine:

Works hand in hand with other Engines

The genre tools HouseEngine and ChilloutEngine are separate and independent plug-ins. Both Engines support different genres. And they contain distinct presets and chord progression generators.

But they also work hand in hand if needed. Both Engines share a similar workflow and interface. This makes it easy to use them side by side.

You can copy a chord progression in the chords page of one product and then import it from the starting page of the second one. The Engines also share a "Recent chord progressions" list. This way you can spice up your song with influences from different genres.

All rights belong to you

Of course, you can use all generated phrases and melodies in your own productions. Whether you do a commercial release, write songs together with friends, or produce a track for another person: As long as you use the generated MIDIs as part of a musical composition, everything is fine.

If you want to distribute the generated files as an own bundle (e.g. if you want to create a commercial or free MIDI pack), you will need to buy a ChilloutEngine Pro license. The Pro version also contains a MIDI mass-exporter that will make it easy for you to create hundreds of files within seconds.
