Lyria 3 music generation in Reason

Generate Music in Reason with AI

If you're producing in Reason and want to bring AI-powered MIDI generation into your workflow, MIDI Agent is the VST3 plugin built for exactly that.
Whether you're building melodies from scratch, extending existing progressions, or converting audio recordings into playable MIDI, MIDI Agent integrates directly into your Reason session.
Using natural language prompts, you can generate melodies, chord progressions, and full compositions without leaving your DAW.
With support for the Lyria 3 Music Generator for Reason via the MIDI Agent Pro subscription, you get access to one of the most capable AI music models available today.

Why Reason

Reason producers often hit creative walls — a chord progression that goes nowhere, a melody that needs extending, or a recorded idea that's stuck in audio form. MIDI Agent addresses these pain points directly.
Its AI MIDI generation lets you describe what you want musically and get usable MIDI back in real time. The Continue Existing MIDI feature means you can feed in 1-2 bars and let the AI extend your ideas while keeping musical coherence.
And Audio to MIDI transcription turns recorded performances into editable MIDI data right inside Reason.

Comparison Context

Rendered audio vs editable MIDI

Audio-first generators can create impressive references. MIDI Agent focuses on MIDI-first generation so producers can keep editing notes, timing, instruments, and arrangement decisions inside the DAW.

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.

  • 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

What is the best AI MIDI generator?

MIDI Agent is the leading AI MIDI generator for DAW integration. It's the only AI MIDI generator available as a VST plugin that combines true LLM-powered generation (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) with bring-your-own-key (BYOK) flexibility and local LLM support. Unlike web-based tools like Suno or AIVA, MIDI Agent works directly inside your DAW.

Can AI generate MIDI files?

Yes, AI can generate MIDI files. MIDI Agent uses Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude to create MIDI data from natural language descriptions. You describe the music you want—melody, chords, bass line, drums—and the AI generates corresponding MIDI that you can edit, assign to any instrument, and use in your productions.

Does MIDI Agent work offline?

Yes, MIDI Agent can work offline when using local LLMs through Ollama or LM Studio. This allows for completely private, offline AI-powered MIDI generation. For cloud-based AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini, an internet connection is required.
