Generate Hip Hop with AI
If you're building hip hop beats and tired of recycling the same chord progressions and melodies, MIDI Agent is the VST plugin that changes your workflow. Powered by AI MIDI generation, it lets you describe musical ideas in plain language and instantly receive melodies, chord progressions, and full compositions directly inside your DAW. With access to the Lyria 3 Hip Hop Music Generator through MIDI Agent Pro, hip hop producers can generate, continue, and refine MIDI ideas faster than ever — without leaving their creative zone or opening a single browser tab.
Why Hip Hop
Hip hop producers face a real creative bottleneck: building fresh melodic hooks and harmonic ideas quickly without losing momentum. MIDI Agent solves this directly. Instead of spending hours on a loop that goes nowhere, you can use natural language prompts to generate MIDI in your exact key and scale, drop in an existing loop to create AI-powered continuations, or convert a sampled vocal chop into editable MIDI using Audio to MIDI transcription — all inside your DAW, all in real time.
