AI MIDI Generator
Veena is a free AI MIDI generator with a whole studio around it. Describe the part, "a 16-bar Reese bassline in F minor at 174 BPM", and CoProducer, your personal music producer, writes it as MIDI notes on a track, playing a real instrument, in time with your song. Edit any note, then export a .mid to any DAW.
Most MIDI generators hand you a file and wish you luck. Veena hands you the part in context: the bassline hears the kick it has to lock to, the melody hears the chords under it, and you audition it in the song before you decide to keep it.
What the MIDI generator writes
Ask for one part or all of them. Each lands on its own track, playing a sound from Veena's library of 61 instrument presets and 7 drum kits.
| Part | Ask for | What lands on the timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Drums | "Two-step drum and bass pattern at 174 BPM, ghost snares, a fill into bar 16" | A drum clip in the Beat Maker grid, playing one of 7 kits |
| Bass and 808s | "An 808 Glide line that follows the kick and slides into bar 4" | A MIDI part on one of 29 bass presets, six of them 808s |
| Chords | "Neo-soul chords Cm9, F13, B♭maj9, Gm9 on Electric Piano" | Voiced chords you can re-voice one at a time |
| Melody | "An 8-bar hook on the Bell Pluck, mostly stepwise, ending on the root" | A lead line in your song's key, three versions to choose from |
| Arps and pads | "16th-note arpeggio on the Snap Pluck over the chorus chords" | Notes that follow the chords already on the timeline |
It also edits MIDI you already have. Highlight bars 5 to 8 and ask for "a busier variation here", or ask it to "extend this 4-bar loop to 8 bars", "re-voice the chords as open voicings", "humanize the hats" or "quantize the bass to 16ths". Each change is one undo away.
How to generate MIDI in Veena
- Open daw.veena.studio and sign in with Google. Set the tempo (40 to 300 BPM), the key (any of 24) and the time signature (8 to choose from), or leave them: on an empty project CoProducer sets a tempo that suits the genre.
- Ask like a producer. In Veena's own data, only about 3% of typed requests name an artist. Producers describe tempo, key, bar count and instrument, and that is exactly what a MIDI part needs: "8 bars, 92 BPM, A minor, Rhodes-style chords on beats 1 and the and of 2".
- Pick one of three. Every new MIDI part arrives as 3 options in one carousel. Browse with ↑ and ↓, hover to hear, press Enter to add it, or ask for More Options. Picking doesn't count against your daily allowance.
- Edit in the piano roll. Draw and select tools, a velocity editor, notes from C0 to C9, 8 snap settings with triplets, and Ctrl or Cmd with ↑ or ↓ to move notes an octave. Drum clips open in the Beat Maker, a 16-step-per-bar grid.
- Export. Choose Download MIDI file on a clip, or export every MIDI track as one .mid. The same Export menu gives you WAV at 24-bit/48 kHz, MP3 at 320 kbps and stems.
Veena vs Muse, MIDI Agent and Staccato (September 2026)
Prices, plans and limits below are quoted from each company's own site, checked on 23 September 2026.
| Veena | Muse | MIDI Agent | Staccato | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price to start | Free, with a daily CoProducer allowance | Free, "around 5 credits a day"; Pro $15 a month | $49 plugin licence, "no free trial" | From $11.99 a month |
| Where the MIDI goes | Onto tracks in a full DAW in your browser, playing real instruments | A MIDI editor built to sit beside your existing DAW | Into your DAW, as a VST3, AU or AAX plugin | Into your DAW, dragged from its plugin |
| What else you need | Nothing: recording, mixing and export are in the same tab | A DAW to record, mix and finish the song | A DAW, plus a ChatGPT account, API keys, local models or $20 a month for Pro | A DAW; commercial use needs Pro at $14.99 a month |
| A whole song from one request | Yes: sections, every part, arrangement and mix | "Compose full song arrangements" is a Pro feature | Melodies, chords, drums and basslines | MIDI "up to 16 tracks and 32 bars at once" |
Muse is a MIDI editor that needs another DAW. Its own FAQ calls it a multi-track MIDI editor designed to work alongside your existing DAW, so the audio, the mix and the release still happen somewhere else. Its free plan refreshes "around 5 credits a day on average", and full song arrangements, premium models and its Ableton device sit on Pro at $15 a month (Muse's pricing page, September 2026).
MIDI Agent charges before you hear a note. The plugin is $49 (list price $99) and there is "no free trial due to infrastructure and usage costs". Then you supply the AI yourself: connect a ChatGPT account, paste API keys, run local models, or add MIDI Agent Pro at $20 a month for 500 generations (MIDI Agent's site, September 2026).
Staccato's cheapest plan won't let you release what you make. The $11.99-a-month Basic plan lists "No commercial use" and "No record/upload"; Pro costs $14.99 a month after a discounted first month (Staccato's pricing page, September 2026).
Veena is the MIDI generator you can start free, hear inside a real song and finish in the same tab, and the .mid still goes wherever you want it. Veena's terms say "you own the Output you generate through your use of the Service", and no export carries a watermark. Weighing more tools? Our ranking of the best AI MIDI generators puts them side by side.
An AI MIDI generator with the whole studio attached
A MIDI file is half a musical idea until something plays it. In Veena the notes play instantly on real sounds: Electric Piano, Pizzicato Strings, Reese Bass, Supersaw Lead, the TR909 kit. Load your own instruments through the Veena Bridge and CoProducer plays them too. It knows Serum, Kontakt and Omnisphere by name and starts from their real presets.
MIDI comes in as easily as it goes out. Drop a .mid file and every track or channel becomes a clip, with channel 10 on drums. Hum a line into your microphone and CoProducer transcribes it into editable notes: that's voice to instrument. Then build the rest with the chord progression generator, the melody generator and the bassline generator, all writing to the same song.
Try this in Veena
Write a 16-bar Reese Bass line for a 174 BPM drum and bass track in F minor over Fm, Db, Ab, Eb: long notes that move with the chord changes, a slide into bar 9, and space around the kick. Then add a two-step drum pattern on the Electronic kit with ghost snares.
Frequently asked questions
Is Veena's AI MIDI generator free?
Yes. Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser. Every MIDI part it writes exports as a standard .mid file with no cap, and Veena Pro, at $20 a month, removes the daily request cap and unlocks the premium models.
Can I use Veena's MIDI in FL Studio, Ableton Live or Logic Pro?
Yes. Everything Veena writes is standard MIDI. Use Download MIDI file on any single clip, or open Export from the account menu in the sidebar and choose MIDI to get one .mid file holding every MIDI track. Drag it into FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Reaper or any other DAW. There is no cap on exports and no watermark.
What kinds of MIDI can the AI generate?
Veena's CoProducer writes drum patterns, basslines including 808s, chord progressions, melodies, hooks, arpeggios and counter-lines, for a single part or a whole song. It also edits MIDI you already have: extend a loop, re-voice chords, humanize or quantize the timing, or rewrite only the bars you highlight. Every part lands on its own track, playing a real instrument.
Can I turn a hummed melody into MIDI?
Yes. Hum or sing into your microphone, or drop in a voice memo, and ask CoProducer to transcribe it. Veena detects the pitch right in your browser, places an editable MIDI part on a new track and mutes the original take. Then play those notes on any of Veena's 61 instrument presets, or on your own VST or AU instrument.
Will generated MIDI fit the parts I already have?
Yes. When one part has to agree with another, CoProducer writes them in order: a bassline that must lock to the kick waits for the drums and reads the notes actually placed on your timeline, not a description of them. Once your project has clips, Veena keeps your key unless you ask for a change, and every new part comes as three options.
Can I import my own MIDI files into Veena?
Yes. Drop a .mid or .midi file into Veena and every MIDI track or channel becomes its own clip and track, with General MIDI instruments mapped and channel 10 played on drums. Then ask CoProducer to build on it: a bassline under your chords, drums around your melody, or a full arrangement grown from your 8-bar idea.
