FeelYourSound has released a new version of its MIDI generator plug-in, TranceEngine (VST + AU). TranceEngine is a specialized songwriting tool.
It can turn any chord progression into melodies, arpeggios, basslines, and hooks.
If you don’t have your own chord progression yet, TranceEngine can generate one for you. Different progression algorithms make it easy to start a new song from scratch. The plug-in is suitable for all Trance styles, but it is a good fit for other genres as well. TranceEngine comes with a list of presets for all sub-genres: Uplifting, Progressive, Psy, Dream, Tech, Futurepop and more.
New in TranceEngine 2.1.0:
Bug fix Logic Pro: No timeline jumps during playback anymore.
Demo fixes: You can click on a MIDI preview to change the preset without losing a “demo export” now.

TranceEngine MIDI generator plug-in is available now for $52 / €49 (Standard version) and $416 / €392 (Pro version) at the FeelYourSound website. The update is free for all current TranceEngine customers (download the demo and the installer will find your registration information).
