The Tour
Watch a Song Take Shape
One real session, nothing staged: a single sentence becomes a waltz, Aether reasons through the whole arrangement, you refine it in plain English, and it rewrites the part instead of starting over. Then you hear it.
01
Say what you hear
Aether's surface is a chat. Here's the actual request, set to sixteen bars in B♭ major with Pro Mode on: "Write a Waltz fit for the banquet hall of the elite. It's the first dance." No piano-roll wrangling, no presets. You describe the music; Aether reads the intent.
02
It plans before it writes a note
With Pro Mode, Aether reasons about the whole arrangement first, out loud. It plans each part: a low bass on beat one, a mid-register chordal lift on two and three, a lyrical lead floating above with graceful phrase endings. Then it names the sections it's about to build: Opening Waltz Statement, Romantic Lift, Grand Banquet Hall Arrival, Elegant Resolution. This is real music-theory-aware planning, not a black box.
03
Hear the first idea
Seconds later the plan is playable MIDI, colour-coded by part: orange bass, indigo harmony, green lead, the same hues the plugin's own piano roll gives those layers. This is the first take of the dance, on Aether's own grand piano. Press play; mute a part to hear it on its own. A complete first draft, but suppose you want the back half to go somewhere new…
Write a Waltz fit for the banquet hall of the elite. It's the first dance.
[Bars: 16] [Key: Bb] [Scale: Major]
04
Refine in plain English: it doesn't start over
"I want the second 8 bar section to deviate from the first so the tune has two distinct sections" Aether re-plans against what it already wrote. Bars 1 to 8 keep the elegant first-dance theme (Section A); bars 9 to 16 become a brighter, grander counter-theme with richer harmony and a bolder lead (Section B). It edits the part it composed; it doesn't reroll from scratch.
05
Hear the refined waltz
This is that exact result, the refined two-section waltz, drawn on the same piano roll the plugin uses and played through Aether's own grand piano. Press play, and solo the parts: mute harmony and lead to hear the waltz bass, or listen for Section B lifting in the second half.

06
Drag it into the session
When it's right, the clip drags straight out of Aether and onto a track. A layered generation lands as a multi-track .mid: a tempo track plus one named track per layer (here Bass, Harmony, and Lead, but any instrument-tagged part you've added works the same way), each on its own MIDI channel, ready to route to your own instruments. You can also drag a single layer out on its own. Works in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Fender Studio Pro, Reaper, Bitwig, or anything else that hosts AU or VST3.
Jazz, written in the session
That's a different session, start to finish: a jazz part written, refined, and dragged out. There's one more session video on the homepage if you want to see it again in Ableton Live.
