Any opinions on this from anyone who has used it? Seems like it could be useful in the same sense something like scaler or captain plugins help with composition, just not sure if it’s more geared towards pop/techno type productions. I know there’s a demo, just couldn’t find any reviews on youtube

I also thought this looked interesting, but I can find very little on YouTube which concerns me.

I will keep an eye on any updates to the demo but when I tried it

The first note (on adastra strings soundpaint) was cutting out when using the mute midi option.

When I saw the video my first impression was “Meh, SongSketch 2 is more powerful”.

But then I tested the demo version and I like the workflow. It is easier to use and more flexible. With SongSketch, once you’ve applied the arrangement, it’s baked in and you can’t switch to a different arrangement that easily.

There’s an unlisted YouTube video for ArrangerKing from the developer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hWoNk12z78

They have a Reddit forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArrangerKing/
There you can make requests for arrangements. They will then create the arrangement template for you – if you’re lucky, which you can import into ArrangerKing. Importing it into your plugin is super-simple: They post a code, like “The_Prodigy__No_Good_Start_The_Dance$ArrangerKing$hpWXn0E0SvDfnKI$” (this example is for “No Good” by Prodigy). In your plugin you click on import, paste that code and confirm, and voila, it’s inside your plugin. I like that.

I wish there was an option to say “okay, I like it now, apply this to the volume automation of my DAW”. But it doesn’t seem to have such a feature, unfortunately.

It also has a chord tool but it only generates simple triads and you can’t even tell it which key you’re in. I hope they’ll improve that in future updates.

Hmmm… This sounds very much like stream of consciousness — but I’m going to call it Socratic dialogue, but I was following Arranger King and after your post now I want to learn about Song Sketch 2, which I don’t recall knowing much about either of these.

Songsketch 2 is only for Ableton Live Suite. It’s a Max4Live Device. Similar to ArranerKing it offers arrangement templates, but uses a different approach.

You can learn about it here:
