Generate Drill in Ableton Live with AI
Creating authentic drill beats in Ableton Live requires dark, menacing melodies and hard-hitting chord progressions that capture the genre's signature sound. MIDI Agent is an AI-powered MIDI generator VST plugin that transforms your beat making workflow by generating melodies and chord progressions directly from natural language prompts. Instead of spending hours programming MIDI patterns, describe the musical elements you need—specific note patterns, rhythmic structures, and harmonic progressions—and generate real-time MIDI that drops straight into your Ableton session. With customizable parameters for key, scale, length, and complexity, you maintain complete creative control while accelerating your production process.
Why Ableton Live for Drill
Drill production demands specific melodic and harmonic elements that can be time-consuming to program manually. MIDI Agent solves this by letting you generate dark chord progressions and menacing melodies through detailed text prompts that specify exact note patterns and rhythmic instructions. The Continue Existing MIDI feature lets you drop in your initial patterns and generate variations while maintaining musical coherence—perfect for creating the repetitive yet evolving loops drill beats require. The Audio to MIDI conversion also allows you to extract ideas from reference tracks or recorded performances and refine them directly in Ableton Live.
