MIDI Agent is an AI MIDI generator sold as a VST3, AU and AAX plugin and as a standalone app for Windows and macOS. Instead of producing finished audio, it turns text prompts and audio references into editable MIDI for chord progressions, melodies, basslines and drum parts.
It is aimed at producers, composers and beatmakers who want AI to start, continue or reshape ideas while they keep control of the arrangement. The MIDI plays through whatever instruments are already in the session, and every note can be edited in a piano roll.
Users load MIDI Agent as an instrument plugin, describe the part in plain language, and add parameters such as key, scale, length in bars, note length, tempo or genre. The selected AI model interprets the request and returns a MIDI result inside the plugin.
The result can be saved or dragged onto a DAW track with Save Latest File or Drag Latest File. If the first pass is close but not right, the user adjusts the prompt and regenerates. Existing MIDI files can be attached to request extensions or variations. The standalone app has no DAW playhead, so tempo and transport use MIDI Agent defaults.
The core feature set covers chord progression, melody, bassline and drum pattern generation, each with its own prompt guidance. Users can attach a MIDI phrase to request an extension, contrasting variation, fill or transition, and drop in audio to receive a MIDI transcription.
Control options include custom instructions saved in settings, reference MIDI files that steer a task, and follow-up requests such as less density or a different register. On the AI side, it supports ChatGPT accounts, several provider APIs, and local models through Ollama and LM Studio.
