How It Works

Install MIDI Agent as a VST3 plugin in Ableton Live by scanning for new plugins in preferences. Load the plugin on a MIDI track and use natural language prompts to describe your desired drill melody or chord progression, specifying note patterns, rhythms, and harmonic elements. Adjust parameters like key, scale, length, and complexity to match your track's requirements. For variations, drop existing MIDI files into the plugin to generate AI-powered continuations in 1-2 bar sections. Use audio to MIDI conversion to transcribe sample references, then refine the results directly in your DAW for seamless drill beat production.
