Generate Music with AI

MIDI Agent is an AI MIDI generator VST plugin that brings the power of Lyria 3 Music Generator and other leading AI models directly into your DAW workflow. If you're building melodies from scratch, extending existing progressions, or converting audio recordings into editable MIDI, MIDI Agent handles the heavy lifting through natural language prompts and customizable parameters like key, scale, length, and complexity. Instead of switching between browser tabs and external tools, producers can now access Google Lyria and other managed premium providers without ever leaving their session.

Why it fits

With support for flexible API options including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and managed access to music-focused AI providers via the Pro plan, you control which AI engine powers your sessions. No more context-switching. No more broken creative flow.

AI MIDI Generators vs Audio Generators

Audio tools can sketch ideas quickly, but MIDI keeps the notes editable in your DAW. Compare the workflow before choosing an AI music tool.

Audio Generators

Create finished tracks that are useful as references, but difficult to reshape at the musical data level.

  • Fixed audio output that cannot be changed note by note
  • Locked to generated sounds and instruments
  • Usually web-first instead of DAW-native

Examples: Suno, Udio, Soundraw, Mubert

MIDI Generators

Produce raw musical data you can edit, arrange, voice, and route through your own instruments.

  • Use a paid ChatGPT account
  • Editable notes, timing, velocities, and expression
  • Route the same idea to any instrument in your session
  • Keep AI-generated ideas inside your DAW workflow

Examples: MIDI Agent, AIVA, Magenta Studio
