MIDI & harmony generators: sketches you still own

24 minAdvancedFree

Generators are **fast collaborators**. The art is **curation**—mutate rhythms, change harmony, re-voice with your go-to synth, and add mistakes on purpose. The goal is **intent**, not a perfect MIDI file.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Turning generated lines into original parts
  • Velocity, timing, and voicing edits that read human
  • When to discard the take and play it yourself
