Important Setup

A MIDI Plugin, Not An Audio Effect.

Harmonic Seed creates MIDI notes. It does not generate final audio by itself. To hear sound, place an instrument after it or route its MIDI output into an instrument track.

  • Works as a MIDI plugin before an instrument.
  • Designed for producers, composers, ambient artists and sound designers.
  • Useful for melodies, chords, arpeggios, drones and ambient pattern starters.
  • Use Generate to create an idea, then drag MIDI into the DAW timeline.
  • Edit the exported MIDI like any other clip in Ableton, Logic or another DAW.
