How it works

From Words to MIDI

01

Describe

Type the part you hear — “a dark, driving minor-key bassline at 124 BPM”. Tempo, key, mood, role: as loose or as specific as you like.

02

Generate

Aether plans the harmony and writes the part with music-theory-aware phrasing — then refines it in conversation instead of rerolling from scratch.

03

Drag to DAW

Everything is standard, editable MIDI. Drag it straight onto a track, tweak it in the piano roll, or export multi-track .mid files.

Aether in a Real Session

From prompt to playable MIDI, inside the session

A full generation session, end to end

Capabilities

More Than a Prompt Box

Aether pairs conversational generation with the producer tools you expect from a serious instrument.

Conversational Generation

Prompt for a melody, chords, bassline, or a full multi-track idea — then keep talking. Aether refines the MIDI it already wrote.

Smart Controls

Two parameter panels — one for fresh generations, one for editing existing MIDI. Dial in the musical frame or leave it to the AI.

Music-Theory Engine

Genre-aware prompt assembly, optional two-pass planning, and phrasing that reasons about key, scale, and rhythm, so parts sit in the track.

Piano Roll & Post-Processing

A dual-mode piano roll with instant playback, chord detection, and a post-processing pipeline you can A/B against the raw output.

MIDI Library & Capture

Every generation auto-saves with full metadata, and live MIDI capture turns your controller into a source the AI can riff on.

Built for the Session

DAW-native drag-out, host sync, custom system prompts, and multi-track .mid export with tempo and time signature.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is Aether?

Aether is an AI co-producer plugin for macOS and Windows. Describe the part you want in plain language and it plans, generates, and refines playable MIDI you can drag straight into your DAW. It ships as AU, VST3, and a standalone app.

Does Aether work in my DAW?

Yes. Aether runs inside Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, and any other DAW that hosts AU or VST3 plugins — or on its own without a DAW.

Which AI models can I use?

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, or Hugging Face with your own API key, or run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio. No forced subscription.

Is Aether a subscription?

No — the plugin is a one-time $60 purchase with free Aether 1.x updates and activation on up to three machines, and a subscription is never required. You only pay your AI provider for what you use, or nothing at all with local models. (An optional Pro tier with managed AI, for people who'd rather not bring their own keys, is in the works.)

Is the generated MIDI editable?

Completely. Everything Aether writes is standard MIDI you can edit in its built-in piano roll or in your DAW, refine in follow-up messages, and export as multi-track .mid files with tempo and time signature.

Can I work offline?

Yes. Run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio and Aether generates MIDI with no internet connection at all.
