Three Steps to Your MIDI
How to Convert a Text Description Into MIDI
- 1
Step 1 — Describe Your Music Idea
Write the kind of music you want to create. Mention a genre, mood, melodic direction, chord style, instrumentation, or energy level. You don't need to write notes or use complex music terminology.
- 2
Step 2 — Choose Your Tempo and Structure
Set your BPM, select a musical structure, and choose a target length. These settings help define the direction of your MIDI draft before generation.
- 3
Step 3 — Download and Edit Your MIDI
Generate your composition and download the MIDI file. Import it into compatible music software, assign instruments, change notes, and arrange the parts to suit your project.
Beyond a Single Audio Clip
Your MIDI Is a Starting Point You Can Build On
A Melody to Develop
Explore a main melodic phrase, reshape individual notes, or build a longer idea around it.
Harmony to Experiment With
Use the generated harmonic part as a starting point for new chords, accompaniment, or changes in musical mood.
A Bass Foundation
Develop the low-end musical part with your own rhythm, instrument, and production style.
Editable Musical Information
MIDI contains note and timing information rather than a finished recording. That's what makes it useful for further editing.
A File for Your Music Software
Download your MIDI and keep developing it with compatible digital audio workstations and virtual instruments.
The generated result is a musical draft. Notes, timing, and arrangement may need editing to achieve your intended sound.
