Generate Music in Pro Tools with AI

MIDI Agent brings the power of the Lyria 3 Music Generator directly into your Pro Tools workflow, letting you generate melodies, chord progressions, and full compositions using natural language prompts — no music theory degree required. If you're sketching ideas from scratch, extending an existing progression, or converting a recorded performance into editable MIDI, MIDI Agent handles the heavy lifting inside your DAW. With support for AI Integration across any genre, it's built for producers who want to move faster without sacrificing creative control. This is AI MIDI generation designed to fit the way you already work.

Why it fits

Why Pro Tools

Pro Tools producers often hit creative walls mid-session — a melody that needs extending, a chord progression that isn't quite right, or a recorded riff that needs to become editable MIDI. MIDI Agent addresses each of these pain points directly. The Audio to MIDI feature transcribes recorded performances into workable MIDI, while MIDI extension lets you drop in existing clips and generate coherent variations. Access to Google Lyria via the MIDI Agent Pro subscription means you're working with managed premium providers for music production.

How it works

From prompt to MIDI notes

Install MIDI Agent as a native AAX plugin with the installer — it lives at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins on Windows and /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins on macOS. Relaunch Pro Tools, let the first-launch plugin scan complete, then load MIDI Agent on an Instrument track and enter a natural language prompt describing the melody, rhythm, or harmonic content you need. Adjust parameters like key, scale, and complexity, then generate directly into your session. To use Google Lyria, subscribe to MIDI Agent Pro for managed API access. For audio transcription, import a clean recording under 30 seconds and let the Audio to MIDI engine handle the rest.

  1. Step 1

    Describe the musical part, constraints, and production role you need.

  2. Step 2

    Generate a short MIDI idea and audition it through your own instruments.

  3. Step 3

    Edit, extend, or regenerate the strongest result inside your session.

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
