MIDI Agent

Paid | Audio AI

Overview

MIDI Agent is an AI MIDI generator that runs as a VST or AU plugin directly inside your digital audio workstation. It connects to major AI models — including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek — and lets you describe musical ideas in text to generate MIDI patterns, drum tracks, chord progressions, and melodic lines without leaving your production environment. The plugin also transcribes audio files to MIDI and can continue or extend existing MIDI patterns using AI. MIDI Agent works with all major DAWs including Ableton Live, and supports both BYOK (bring-your-own API keys) and a managed Pro subscription that provides access to exclusive models like Google's Lyria 3 for music generation and ElevenLabs for audio effects. The plugin license is $49 lifetime (regularly $99); the Pro subscription is $20/month for users who want managed API access without managing their own keys. No free trial is offered due to infrastructure costs.

Best For

Music producers who want AI-assisted MIDI generation without switching away from their DAW, Composers and beatmakers looking to break through creative blocks with AI pattern suggestions, Film and media composers needing rapid arrangement ideas for scoring projects, Producers who prefer working with raw MIDI rather than audio stems from generative tools, Developers and hobbyists experimenting with AI-assisted music creation inside professional DAWs

How It Works

You install MIDI Agent as a VST or AU plugin and open it inside your DAW as you would any instrument or effect. To generate new MIDI, you type a description of what you want — 'funky bass line in D minor' or 'four-bar drum pattern for a hip-hop track' — and the plugin sends this to the connected AI model and returns a MIDI pattern directly into your session. You can also drop in an existing MIDI file and ask the AI to continue it, vary it, or reimagine it in a different style. The Audio to MIDI feature transcribes recorded or sampled audio files into editable MIDI data. MIDI Agent supports both your own API keys from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, and its managed Pro subscription which bundles all API costs into a flat $20/month fee while unlocking exclusive generative models not available via standard API access.
