What MIDIQ does
The plugin lays out a pattern definition area in a slot-machine style interface. Adding or changing a pattern symbol makes the algorithm generate a chord position, and it creates a set of eight. Clicking one chord box is enough to switch to a new variant, and the developer says no knowledge of music theory is needed to get results. A simplified piano roll shows the generated sequence, and chords can be dragged from it into the host sequencer. Chords can be edited by clicking and changing the chord symbol; the pattern element then gets a lock symbol, and the unlock button restores its previous state. Playback runs in a loop, with the loop position shown by a yellow and blue marker.
Key features
- Pattern area and chord variants. The pattern definition area sets the chord positions, and each click on a chord box cycles to another variant of the generated set.
- Per-chord velocity and muting. Individual MIDI velocity and muting can be adjusted for each generated chord.
- Chord sequence generation. The developer describes the generation as powered by intelligent algorithms that produce chord sequences from the pattern.
- Simplified piano roll. A simplified piano roll display shows the generated chord sequence, and chords can be dragged from it into the host sequencer.
- Manual chord editing and locking. Chord symbols can be changed by hand, which locks the corresponding pattern element until the unlock button returns it to its previous state.
- Preset storage in sessions. Preset data is saved automatically with DAW sessions and can be exported and imported into other sessions.
Use cases
- Starting a session from nothing. The developer suggests MIDIQ for sessions where ideas have run out, to produce chord sequences, harmonies and bass lines as a starting point.
- Layering generator output. Multiple instances assigned to different tracks let a generated progression be layered across parts.
Compatibility
MIDIQ comes as VST3, VST2 and AU for Windows and macOS (64-bit), needing macOS 10.13 or higher and Windows 7.
Who it is for
MIDIQ suits producers who want chord and bass-line ideas without writing harmony by hand, and sound designers who need MIDI sequences to route into other tracks.
