I absolutely love HouseEngine and I now use it in every project to give me super fast musical inspiration. It analyses my chords, suggests improvements and scales, and then gives me an almost endless choice of midi options. And what makes this standout from anything else I've used is the ease to which I can drag drop suggested midi straight into my DAW while the synth is playing, and then cut up the suggestions on the fly to create new patterns. It just works really well. Mark D
I have found this plugin great for providing inspiration to help get the creative process going when creating House tracks. I am incorporating it into my workflow on a regular basis. Ray Grooves , DJ/Producer Spincity Records
HouseEngine is pure magic! It helps transform chord progressions into full melodic compositions (bass, melodies, etc.). Minutes after launching I was addicted. I can't imagine suffering from songwriter's block with this software locked and loaded! I simply start with a beat and some chords, and HouseEngine provides groovy options for the rest. Thank you, FeelYourSound, for creating this indispensable dance track tool. Tommy Zai, educator, producer, and songwriter since 1985.
I'm not a trained musician. I make chords and harmonies by ear or "recommendation" by Cubase. But HouseEngine gives me ideas extremely quickly. It is amazing how quickly I find a phrase that I like and that I can edit myself later on. Tony (SYcroz/Ton-[E])
HouseEngine is designed to give you instant results within seconds. You can use preset categories and tags to find the right presets quickly.

HouseEngine has been crafted by FeelYourSound, a company with years of expertise in generative music tools and sequencers.
For this release, we combined the power of seven different engines and generator modules. Our dev lab came up with completely new routines to analyze your chords and generate new riffs for them.
HouseEngine has been tweaked from the start to match the style of both modern and classic House styles. We analyzed hundreds of successful House tracks to find the best piano rhythms, the nicest bass grooves, and the snappiest synth lines. The playing styles were meticulously translated to algorithmic recipes for our engines then.
The genre tools HouseEngine, ChilloutEngine, and TranceEngine are separate and independent plug-ins. All Engines support different genres. And they contain distinct presets and chord progression generators.
But they also work hand in hand if needed. All 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.
When you purchase HouseEngine, you will receive your personal serial. You can use this serial on any of your own computers, even on multiple devices at the same time. No online activation needed. Just download the demo and enter your serial.
All future updates are free forever, there are no recurring fees. Buy now and use HouseEngine for years to come.
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 HouseEngine 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.
Are you worried that your songs and melodies will sound the same as someone else's? You don't have to! You can read more about this here.
