The Loop Engine 3 Black Friday deal takes 60% off this looped MIDI generator by W. A. Production and Liminal Sphere, bringing it to $43.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
Loop Engine 3 builds chord-based note progressions on a circular interface. Click "create" and it writes riffs, arps, melodies and polyrhythmic sequences you can play inside the plugin or drag straight into your DAW.
The makers say it started life for EDM producers and has since grown into a tool for many genres.
Version 3 adds a streamlined interface, better navigation and dedicated voice selection. Direct View switches between three views: Chord, Loop and Voice.
You can pick or generate chords across a range of inversions, lengths, speeds and keys. Each chord shape, inversion and velocity can be tweaked individually, or you can reshape the whole riff at once.
Advanced Mode offers 21 chord Functions plus different styles of Type and Tension. Voice View lets you split and extend notes beyond the chord shapes.
The POLY feature layers note-playing segments into syncopated patterns. The makers say you hear changes live as you slide the polyrhythmic timing around the circle.
Loop Engine 3 sends out up to 8 independent, color-coded MIDI voices. A second plugin, Loop Engine Listener, sits on your instrument tracks and receives them.
You choose which voice feeds which track and can swap them in a couple of clicks. New in version 3, you also choose which voices get the Aux passing notes.
Once a pattern works, drag the MIDI into your DAW to edit, transpose or rework it.
The plugin ships with categorised presets for chords, riffs, arpeggios and more, plus a preset manager where everything can be tagged. Your own creations can be saved too.
If you run Apple Silicon, review the plugin's compatibility status for your system before buying.
The interface is resizable.
