Description
Generative AI - Gemini MIDI Composer
The AI Sidekick for your Ableton Live Workflow
Gemini MIDI Composer is a powerful Max for Live bridge that brings the creative intelligence of Google’s Gemini AI directly into your MIDI tracks. Whether you’re stuck on a melody, need a complex drum pattern, or want to explore harmonic variations within a specific scale, this device transforms simple text prompts into professional MIDI sequences in seconds.
🚀 What it does
Unlike generic MIDI generators, this device uses a sophisticated "context-aware" bridge. It automatically detects your track's instrument, project BPM, and selected scale to ensure that every note generated fits perfectly into your current production.
✨ Key Features
Prompt-to-MIDI: Describe what you want (e.g., "A dark techno bassline" or "Happy 80s synth chords") and watch the MIDI notes appear.
Multi-Mode Generation: Switch between Monophony, Polyphony (Chords), and Drum/Beat modes with specialized logic for each.
Smart Scale Integration: Stay in key effortlessly. The AI respects your project’s root and scale (from C Major to Phrygian Dominant).
Real-time Sequencing & Clip Writing: Preview your generation immediately with the built-in sequencer or "flush" the notes directly into an Ableton Live session MIDI clip.
AI Feedback System: The device includes a dedicated "Info Tab" where the AI explains its musical choices and suggests better prompts to help you refine your sound.
Persistent Configuration: Saves your API key and preferences globally, so you're ready to create the moment you drop the device onto a track.

Regarding using other track as a prompt source and combining with additional promts is very good idea. This opens whole new world of possibilities. Will be released in upcoming versions.
