FeelYourSound has announced an update to its specialized songwriting tool that is designed to turn your chord progressions into relaxed keys, smooth basslines, memorable hooks, and lovely arpeggios.

Version 2.1.0 of the ChilloutEngine MIDI generator plugin comes with various improvements.

If you don’t have your own chord progression yet, ChilloutEngine 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 Chillout styles, but it is a good fit for other genres as well.

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.

Changes in ChilloutEngine v2.1.0

  • New: News checker. ChilloutEngine will inform you about updates now. You can turn this off in the settings (cog wheel icon on the Presets Page).
  • Chords View: New colours for active chords. This makes the Chords View easier to use for colour blind users.
  • Presets View: UI Scaling option in the settings.
  • Presets View: Direct access to all preset families via the “Go to..” button.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST, AU), ChilloutEngine is priced $52 USD / 49 EUR (Standard version) and $416 USD / 392 EUR (Pro version). The update is free for all customers and new users can try the software with a free demo version.
