FeelYourSound has released version 4.0.0 of the electronic song-writing solution Sundog Song Studio.
Sundog is a standalone composition software for Windows and macOS that connects to any DAW via MIDI. With Sundog it is possible to develop new chord progressions, melodies, bass lines, and arpeggios within minutes. All songs can be exported as standard MIDI files.
The new built-in power tools make it easy to create your own songs - even if you are not good at music theory yet.
Sundog 4.0 adds many new song-writing and usability features:
- New layout and updated themes.
- Time signature options: Sundog supports more than 4/4 now. New "Meter" choices: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4.
- Actions-Menu: Create and transform patterns easily. Create basic arpeggios, basslines, chord rhythms, etc., with one single click. Then use transformer actions to shape the melodies.
- Right-click on the Pattern area for Pattern Actions. Transform and randomize existing sequences with just a few clicks.
- New "Bass settings" combobox in the Chords View: Different options to automatically add dedicated bass notes when you click on a chord button.
- New settings sub-menu: "Chords View: Flow settings". Options to automatically invert a chord when you click on a chord button.

- New Source mode: Chord Notes (dense). Stacks other notes on top of the bass note. Duplicates across octaves are removed.
- New Source mode: Chord Notes (shift). Folds wide chord spreads into a tight cluster (useful to avoid large jumps).
