Songen generates instrumental MIDI loops in a selected style, building lead, chord, bass, and drum parts. Its on-device engine writes notes from scratch rather than using premade loops, and generation and exports work without an internet connection. Users can edit notes, regenerate individual tracks or sections, and use a piano roll that highlights chord notes. The app offers nearly 50 styles, including Trap, Amapiano, Lo-fi, House, and Cinematic. It exports MIDI and WAV audio as complete mixes or separated stems for use in other music software. Songen runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no Android or Windows version. The free plan includes 100 generated loops per day and one free export. Premium is 8.99 USD per month, 89.99 USD per year, or 149.99 USD per once, and includes unlimited generating and saved tunes, with up to 250 exports per month. Songen says its generated beats are royalty-free and may be sold, licensed, or released without clearance, attribution, or extra fees. It does not write lyrics or record vocals; an internet connection is needed to purchase Premium.
