Feed HouseEngine with your chords and the plug-in generates authentic and professional MIDI patterns for you.
No fiddling around with mismatching MIDI packs anymore. All output will be in tune with your original chords!
Have you ever struggled with writer's block when you wrote your next House track? Did the basslines feel weak? Were the keys "somewhat OK" , and the melodies only so-so?
You can leave all this behind. HouseEngine is a plug-in (VST, AU) that generates new catchy melodies, funky basslines, and memorable hooks from your MIDI chord progressions automatically.
Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced pro, HouseEngine is for you. With built-in music theory, you'll be making great music in no time, even if you don't have a lot of experience.
Using HouseEngine is like having a co-producer at your side that helps you create professional, genre-specific music faster than ever.
And for pros, HouseEngine can help you explore new styles and get inspiration, as well as make standard tasks like creating basslines and stabs faster and easier. Plus, you can try out multiple ideas quickly. This will reduce friction and improve your music production process. As a pro user, you will also love the built-in mass exporter. Re-use the created content on many different devices and build your own library.
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
Wonderful tool, the idea and concept behind it is GENIUS :) :) Tebogo M.
Now that I gave HouseEngine a spin I am pleasantly surprised that all midi generated provide viable pathways from and to your original chord sequence (erm, even if that chord sequence wasn't even your own...). I guess a secret within a secret is not to use the HouseEngine for (just) House music and strongly explore the "Suggested scales" option in order to come up with intricate call and answer parts and interesting variations.

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])
AMAZING Plugin! One of the best investments I've made in years, thank you! cmixer108
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for adding the new ‘Scale Lock’ feature in HouseEngine 1.2. It really does make a big difference already to my work flow. [...] It is also great that you have added more presets, please keep on adding as many as you can, every single preset is greatly appreciated! Or any other features to make this already great plugin even greater! Ray
HouseEngine is designed to give you instant results within seconds. You can use preset categories and tags to find the right presets quickly.
The interface makes it easy to export the generated melodies. Simply click on the MIDI field behind a HouseEngine preset and drag it to a track of your DAW. The Engine will export the generated melodies as standard MIDI files, compatible with any 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.
With all the inspiration at your fingertips, it's easy to quickly create a new song. Use the free time to tweak your sound design and finish your songs.
Out of the hundreds of presets, you will always find a melody that sticks out and makes your song shine. Promised.
And when you play your album to your friends, they won't be able to tell which tunes are from your "co-producer" and which are from you. Bring your songs up to label quality in no time.

Preset examples
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.
