feelyoursound.com has released version 2 of the electronic song-writing aid, Sundog Scale Studio, described as a MIDI chords and melodies laboratory. The video above shows the most important new features. Here's a full description of the software in feelyoursound.com's own words:

Sundog is designed to work with all major DAWs. All note output happens via MIDI (so you may also call it a MIDI performer, or MIDI sequencer). As long as you set up a virtual MIDI cable between Sundog and your DAW you are ready to go. And even without a virtual MIDI cable you can create new songs and phrases, as Sundog can export MIDI files directly to other programs.

The first thing you do is choosing a scale and a basenote. Take C Major for example if you want to compose a happy song, or E Minor if you write a sad ballad. Just choose a scale and play some notes. You will quickly get a feeling for the mood of the scale.

In a second step you switch over to a special chords view. You can listen to chords by just clicking buttons - and they will all fit your chosen scale!

Once you have found some nice chords you can create a chord progression. This will be the harmonic base of your song.

Back in the main view the real magic starts. You can use your MIDI keyboard, computer keyboard, or your mouse to create new melodies. All your input can either be mapped to scale notes - great for leads! - or to the current chord notes.

This way your melodies will always sound harmonic! Now if you go back to the chords view and change some chords all your melodies will get updated at once.

Features:

  • Create harmonic melodies and arpeggios easily
  • Experiment with new scales and basenotes
  • Over 300 scales available out of the box

  • Export standard MIDI files - also via drag and drop
  • Convert MIDI note input (white keys) to scale notes and chords
  • Cure writer's block by experimenting with new harmonies
  • Output: Standard MIDI note data
  • Input: MIDI notes, computer keys, mouse
