midichat

Generate and edit MIDI, not a locked audio file

What it does

Describe any sound. Get playable and editable MIDI, live code, and beats instantly. The ultimate AI agent for music production.

Describe any sound in plain English and get back playable, editable MIDI patterns — piano roll, live code, and beats. No DAW, no presets, just words.

The agent handles theory, synthesis, and code. You handle the vision. Open any generated pattern in a full editor. Move notes, retime a groove, mute a layer — then keep chatting, and the AI picks up from your edit. Every edit is written back as MML, so your next message builds on the version you shaped — not the one the model first wrote. Editing is free to try; saving requires Pro. Start for free. Upgrade when you need more power, transcription, andfrom midichat.xyz

    Ever wanted to control Ableton with just your voice? Me too! I made this MCP server so I could just ask Codex to do anything in Ableton Live for me, while I was nap-trapped by my baby. The chat messages I sent to Codex to make this: in ableton, make a self reflective song, with audio vocals (via macos say) and chip tunes and 80's drum machines. should be a real edm banger i want midi for everything but vocals please, with ableton devices. not prerendered audio for instruments needs some fills and should hit way harder after "3-2-1 i become the sound" the vocals are squished too much (read…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
