Make Trance beats
Trance is an uplifting, hypnotic electronic style built on rolling arpeggios, lush pads and long, euphoric builds, usually around 120 to 140 BPM. It aims for emotional liftoff on the dance floor.
Tempo: 120–140 BPM · Emotional minor and bright major
What defines trance?
Trance is dance music built for euphoria. Arpeggios roll and shimmer, pads swell and evolve, and the whole track climbs through long builds toward a peak that’s meant to lift a room off the floor. A steady four-on-the-floor keeps it driving underneath.
The emotion is the goal. Where techno hypnotizes and EDM punches, trance reaches for a feeling, layering harmony and arpeggios until the breakdown and build pay off in a rush.

How Songen makes Trance
Songen generates a trance loop with the arpeggio lead, pads, bass and four-on-the-floor drums as editable MIDI. Start there, then evolve the pads, shape the arp, or stretch the build.
