Generate Techno in Ableton Live with AI
MIDI Agent is a techno MIDI generator for Ableton that transforms your production workflow with AI-powered MIDI generation. Instead of staring at blank piano rolls or recycling the same patterns, use natural language prompts to instantly generate melodies, chord progressions, and full compositions tailored to your specifications. Define your key, scale, length, and complexity parameters, then watch as the plugin creates fresh MIDI patterns directly in your Ableton Live session. Whether you're crafting driving basslines, hypnotic arpeggios, or evolving pad progressions, this VST3 plugin delivers real-time creative assistance that keeps you in the flow instead of stuck in creative blocks.
Why Ableton Live for Techno
Techno production demands constant iteration and fresh ideas, but traditional MIDI programming can kill momentum. MIDI Agent solves the core challenges Ableton Live producers face: breaking through creative blocks when designing patterns, generating variations without losing musical coherence, and quickly transcribing audio samples into editable MIDI. The plugin's AI-powered generation handles the heavy lifting while you focus on arrangement and sound design. With Audio to MIDI transcription, extract ideas from your favorite samples and refine them directly in your DAW, transforming inspiration into production-ready patterns instantly.

How It Works
Install the VST3 plugin in Ableton Live by scanning for new plugins in your preferences. Once loaded, create MIDI patterns by entering natural language prompts with specific musical directions—describe your desired note patterns, rhythmic instructions, and harmonic elements while defining parameters like key, scale, and complexity. For variations, drop existing MIDI files into the plugin and generate 1-2 bar continuations, iterating quickly until you find the right direction. Use Audio to MIDI conversion on high-quality recordings to transcribe samples into editable patterns, then refine the results directly in your session.
