AI MIDI Generator for GarageBand

Struggling to find inspiration for your next track in GarageBand? Introducing MIDI Agent, the essential AI MIDI Generator for GarageBand that seamlessly integrates advanced composition tools directly into your production workflow. This powerful VST3/AU plugin is designed to eliminate creative roadblocks by providing three core methods for musical creation. Firstly, utilize AI-Powered MIDI Generation to instantly generate melodies and chord progressions using natural language prompts. Define the key, scale, length, and complexity with customizable parameters, generating real-time MIDI directly within your DAW. Secondly, producers can refine existing ideas using Continue Existing MIDI, allowing you to drop in any MIDI file and have the AI create meaningful variations or extensions while maintaining musical coherence. Finally, transform external inspiration into editable tracks with Audio to MIDI, an intelligent transcription feature that extracts musical ideas, complex harmonies, and rhythms from recorded audio samples. With flexible API options, including using your own keys (OpenAI, Google Gemini) or subscribing to MIDI Agent Pro for managed service, MIDI Agent offers a comprehensive solution for accelerating music production in any genre.

GarageBand producers often face challenges in quickly generating complex, cohesive musical ideas without deep theoretical knowledge. MIDI Agent directly addresses these pain points. The AI-Powered MIDI Generation feature allows you to bypass laborious note input by simply describing the direction you want to take, adhering to the best practice of giving specific musical directions and rhythmic instructions. This is crucial for developing full compositions rapidly. When you have a great 1-2 bar loop but need a bridge or variation, the Continue Existing MIDI function is invaluable, enabling you to iterate quickly and extend sections while maintaining musical coherence. Furthermore, GarageBand users can capture musical moments from field recordings or performances using Audio to MIDI, which intelligently transcribes musical ideas from high-quality audio, allowing you to edit and refine the resulting MIDI data directly. This integration streamlines the composition process, turning conceptual ideas into editable MIDI tracks inside your preferred DAW.

To begin using the AI MIDI Generator for GarageBand, ensure you have installed the AU plugin format in the correct location: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, and then restart GarageBand. Once loaded, you can utilize the core features. To generate new content, use AI-Powered MIDI Generation and provide specific musical directions in the prompt (e.g., describe note patterns, specify melodic movement). If you have existing MIDI, drop it into the plugin and use Continue Existing MIDI, starting with short sections (1-2 bars) and iterating quickly. For external inspiration, feed high-quality audio files (under 30 seconds) into the Audio to MIDI function to extract and refine transcribed musical data.
