Have you ever struggled with writer's block when you wrote a track? Did the chords sound bland? Were the keys "somewhat OK", and the basslines only so-so?
You can leave all this behind. SongEngine generates MIDI files that follow your chords perfectly. Just drag, drop, and stay in your creative flow.
1. Build your chords
Import a MIDI file, drag chords from the Chord Pad Area, or let SongEngine generate a progression for you.
2. Pick a preset
Browse dozens of presets – basslines, arpeggios, phrases. Press play in your DAW to preview instantly.
3. Drag to your DAW
Like what you hear? Drag & drop the MIDI directly into your session. Done.
... or use the Live Mode
When Live Mode is enabled, SongEngine automatically transforms any chords you send through it into fresh MIDI phrases. It's perfect if you already have MIDI chords on your DAW timeline.
Here is a short quickstart tutorial for you:
Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced pro, SongEngine 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 SongEngine is like having a co-producer at your side that helps you create professional music faster than ever.
And for pros, SongEngine can help you explore new styles and get inspiration, as well as make standard tasks like creating basslines and pads faster and easier. Plus, you can try out multiple ideas quickly.
SongEngine 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 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.
There is also an optional mass-exporter available. 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.
This is so good. I started using it last week. Super useful and easy. @jeffbridges6110
I couldn't believe this plugin was free. This is the best gift ever to the music community. Your generosity is very much appreciated. @MASAMEDIATV
The chord pads feature is a smart addition. The design is clean, the color theme lands well the colors nicely done on the pads as well— overall a really impressive piece of work @UnseenAura9
One of the best and easiest songwriting tools out there. Create a chord progression and it will automatically create hundreds of melodies in different genres. Mike Jones
Wow!! What a great creativity booster!!! SongEngine is so fast and easy to use. With so many genre options, its easy to find part that fits with your groove. This is especially true because of the play back speed option which allows you to speed up or slow down the rate of play to help almost any part blend into your track. It’s super fun to mix and match until you create something new. It really helps break writers block. It creates instrumental parts that are incredibly musical and cinematic, but also does equally well when you need stronger parts for pop and dance tracks. Bill B.
Song Engine is a good to get your ideas started and is great for anyone wanting to get started in midi or for experienced musicians alike a program you will use regularly. JB.
Just downloaded SongEngine. Absolutely brilliant. Having all of the patterns from all of the other Engines in one place is great. Instant inspiration. Now, I just need to dedicate some time to actually create something. Rick G.
Such a great plugin this is, i use it all the time. Very helpful! Thank you! @Johnatronmusic
Beautiful. Thanks for this amazing and inspiring tool! Bravo! @plagueofgrackles
I just gave it a run through on logic, I tried the chords and arpeggios. It really made my work flow faster! Thank you sir. I will definitely be checking out your other products. Peace ✌ AJS @musicisfoodajs
Presets excellent, varied, useful. Works great in Fl Studio. Generator fantastic. Simple, nice work flow, rate 9 outa 10. Thank you!!!! @danielcairney5904
SongEngine is super easy to use and it does so much! It has a really simple and very intuitive interface and is the ideal plugin for composers, like me (as I play by ear and I don't know much music theory at all). This saves me so much time being able to easily audition chords, and arrange whole songs quickly section by section. [...] I can't recommend Song Engine enough and I've tried loads of others in the past, but this seems to suit me best for ease of use, flexibility and speed, combined with so many useful features. Thank you Hauke! Trev H.
SongEngine is a fantastic tool for quickly creating song sketches. It's simply a lot of fun and can then be easily processed further in a DAW (in my case, Cubase). Thanks a million! Andi H.
Many young producers were waiting for this, and it truly supports the music community at a time when AI is taking over. This will really help beginners — thank you. @gsfh56k

Absolutely! The core plugin is free forever. Extensions are optional add-ons.
