01Overview

This plugin is built as a MIDI co-pilot rather than a sound generator. It generates full song structures, multiple MIDI tracks at once and chord progressions based on configurable procedural rules. Version 3 adds song section architecture, chord and scale detection, slash chord support, MIDI import and a range control. The developer says the generation runs on transparent rules, so you can adjust the output before exporting MIDI to your DAW.

03In depth

New Song Structure and Generation Controls

The plugin can go from an empty project to a fully arranged song with one click. The system assembles Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Post-Chorus, Bridge, Breakdown and Outro sections.

Each song section holds its own scenes and tracks, and Song Sync follows your DAW playhead across those sections. Up to 8 scenes per section and 6 tracks can be generated at the same time, covering Melody, Riff, Ostinato, Rhythm, Bass, Pad, Pad2, Chord and Drums.

Harmony Tools and MIDI Editing

Chord and scale detection analyzes generated, manually entered or imported MIDI to identify chords, progressions, scales and tonal centers. Slash chords let you assign a non-root bass note, such as G/B or A/C#.

The chord editor lets you drag and resize chord partitions. An onboard piano roll supports moving, duplicating and removing notes, and finished material can be exported as MIDI by drag and drop. The plugin also supports multiple time signatures and a wide range of scales, including Spanish and Arabic.
