Why Ableton Live for Afrobeats
Afrobeats production demands intricate polyrhythmic patterns, layered percussion, and complex harmonic progressions that can take hours to program manually. MIDI Agent solves this by letting you describe the rhythmic patterns and melodic movement you need in plain language, then instantly generates MIDI that fits your vision. The Audio to MIDI feature extracts musical ideas from your favorite Afrobeats samples, while MIDI continuation helps you extend your best 2-bar loops into full arrangements without losing the groove. Stop fighting writer's block and start producing faster.
