Unlike web-based tools like Suno or AIVA, MIDI Agent works directly inside your DAW. ### Can AI generate MIDI files? Yes, AI can generate MIDI files. MIDI Agent uses Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude to create MIDI data from natural language descriptions. You describe the music you want—melody, chords, bass line, drums—and the AI generates corresponding MIDI that you can edit, assign to any instrument, and use in your productions. ### Does MIDI Agent work offline? Yes, MIDI Agent can work offline when using local LLMs through Ollama or LM Studio. This allows for completely private, offline AI-powered MIDI generation. For cloud-based AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini, an internet connection is required.
