How It Works

Install the VST3 plugin, or choose the AU, AAX, or Standalone format if that better fits your setup.
Load MIDI Agent on a MIDI track, then use natural language prompts to describe the musical idea you want—specifying note patterns, rhythms, melodic movement, and harmonic elements for best results.
For MIDI continuation, drag your existing 1-2 bar MIDI into the plugin and generate short sections iteratively until you find the right direction.
The audio to MIDI feature accepts high-quality recordings under 30 seconds with clear instrument separation, instantly transcribing them into editable MIDI you can refine in your music production workflow.
