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 [See full AI music tool comparison](https://www.midiagent.com/compare) User Stories ## What Ableton Live Techno Producers Say Hear from music producers who use MIDI Agent in their creative workflow.

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.
