Melody Generator
Generate editable MIDI melodies from text prompts. MIDI Agent helps create hooks, motifs, and melodic ideas you can refine in any major DAW.
Generate Music with AI
MIDI Agent is an AI-powered melody generator built directly into your DAW as a VST3, AU, AAX, or Standalone plugin.
Whether you're chasing a hook, building a chord progression, or transcribing a recorded idea, MIDI Agent turns natural language prompts into real, playable MIDI - right inside your songwriting session.
Describe the melody you hear in your head, drop in an existing MIDI file for variations, or convert an audio recording into editable MIDI.
For songwriters who want to move faster without losing creative control, MIDI Agent fits into any DAW and any genre.
Why MIDI Agent
Songwriting stalls happen when the gap between an idea and a finished MIDI pattern is too wide.
Most producers waste hours nudging notes in a piano roll trying to find a direction.
MIDI Agent solves this by letting you describe what you want - specific note patterns, rhythmic movement, harmonic elements - and generating usable MIDI instantly.
Its Continue Existing MIDI feature means you're never starting from zero, and Audio to MIDI transcription lets you capture performances you've already played without retracking them note by note.
