MIDY FAQ: Free AI MIDI Generator Questions Answered

Everything about free Quick Generate, AI Compose credits, MIDY Pro, DAW support and royalty-free MIDI.

Is MIDY free?

Yes. Quick Generate is completely free with no sign-up: generate as many MIDI files as you want, with no limits. AI Compose costs 1 credit per generation and every generation gives you 3 melody takes. You get 3 free credits when you create an account, then you can buy packs of 50 (€2.99), 180 (€9.99) or 600 (€24.99), or subscribe to MIDY Pro for 150 credits a month at €6.99.

What is the difference between Quick Generate and AI Compose?

Quick Generate uses an algorithmic engine that creates MIDI patterns instantly from music theory rules: fast, free, and unlimited. AI Compose sends your description to a real AI model that understands mood, scale, chord tones and phrasing, producing melodies that sound more musical and human. AI Compose costs 1 credit per generation and returns 3 takes to pick from.

How do credits work? Do they expire?

Each AI Compose generation costs exactly 1 credit and gives you 3 melody takes, so you spend once and keep your favorite. Credits from packs never expire: they stay in your account until you use them. With MIDY Pro, unused monthly credits roll over up to a maximum of 300. Payments are processed securely via Stripe.

What is MIDY Pro?

MIDY Pro is an optional monthly plan at €6.99 that adds 150 AI Compose credits every month. Unused credits roll over up to 300, so a quiet month is never wasted. You can cancel anytime and keep your credits until the end of the billing period. If you prefer to pay once, the credit packs work without any subscription.

What are the 3 takes?

Every time you run AI Compose, MIDY generates three different takes of your idea from the same single credit. They appear as A, B and C above the piano roll: tap to compare them, play each one, and download the one you like best. So a single credit gets you a result you're happy with, not just one attempt.

Is MIDY ad-free?

The free Quick Generate is supported by a few ads. As soon as you have AI Compose credits, including the 3 free ones you get when you sign up, or an active MIDY Pro plan, MIDY becomes completely ad-free.

Can I use MIDY output in commercial projects?

Yes. All MIDI files generated by MIDY are 100% royalty-free. You own the output and can use it in commercial music, games, videos, or any project, no attribution and no licensing fees.

Do I need to create an account to use MIDY?

No. Quick Generate works with no sign-up and no login: just open the page and start generating. You only need a free account for AI Compose, so your credits are saved to you.

Does MIDY work with my DAW?

Yes. MIDY exports standard .mid files compatible with all major DAWs including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, GarageBand, Reaper, Pro Tools, Studio One and Bitwig. Drag the file into your timeline; it contains the melody on one track and the chords on another.

Do I need to install anything?

No. MIDY runs entirely in your browser, no downloads, no plugins, no installation. It works on desktop and mobile.

Which Quick Generate mood should I use for Trap, Lo-fi or EDM?

A quick guide: Trap / Drill, try “Dark” or “Hypnotic” at 70-90 BPM. Lo-fi / R&B, “Chill” with Piano Comp. EDM / Techno, “Hypnotic” or “Epic” in Arpeggio mode at 120-140 BPM. Cinematic, “Epic” for heroic themes, “Dark” for tension, “Dreamy” for ambient. Pop / Indie, “Happy” or “Dreamy”.

What's the difference between the Melody, Arpeggio and Piano Comp modes?

Melody generates a human-like melodic line using phrase-based logic that fits the mood's chords. Piano Comp generates both chords and melodic fills together, like a session pianist. Arpeggio plays the notes of each chord in a repeating pattern, great for synth lines, bass and rhythmic backgrounds. These modes are part of Quick Generate.

Why does the preview sound like a synth and not a piano?

The in-browser preview uses a lightweight synthesizer (Tone.js) so the page loads instantly on any device, and each mood has its own synth character. The MIDI file you download is pure note data, load it into your DAW and assign any instrument or VST you want: piano, guitar, strings, anything.

What is a MIDI file and why is it useful?

A MIDI file isn't audio, it's data, like sheet music for computers. It tells your DAW what notes to play, when, and how hard. That gives you 100% control: change the key, edit notes, adjust tempo and swap instruments freely.

What is the piano roll?

The piano roll is the visual grid that appears after every generation. It shows melody notes and chord notes on a time-vs-pitch grid, and during playback a playhead moves across it so you can see each note as it sounds.
