Sample AI MIDI Prompts
The strongest prompts combine musical role, genre, key, tempo, and intent. Start broad,
then regenerate with more detail when you hear the direction you want.
Melody prompt
"Create a melancholic synthwave lead melody in A minor at 92 BPM with long notes and a
subtle rising phrase at the end."
Chord prompt
"Generate an emotional four-chord progression for a cinematic piano cue in D minor, with
inversions that feel smooth and playable."
Bassline prompt
"Write a deep house bassline that supports this chord progression, stays sparse in the
first bar, then adds syncopation."
Variation prompt
"Create three variations of this MIDI phrase: one simpler, one more energetic, and one
with a call-and-response ending."
