What readers ask us about MIDI Autocomplete
What is MIDI Autocomplete?
An experimental tool that listens to what you play on a MIDI keyboard and predicts what comes next, offering a continuation in real time. It is a research demo rather than a product.
Is MIDI Autocomplete right for you?
Musicians curious about machine-assisted improvisation, and anyone interested in what real-time generation feels like from the player’s side.
Is MIDI Autocomplete worth paying for?
It is free and experimental, with no account or subscription, so the cost is a MIDI keyboard and a computer.
What is it actually useful for?
Generating material you would not have played, which is useful when you are stuck and unhelpful when you are not. As an experiment the interesting question is whether the suggestions sound like a collaborator or like a model.
Use cases
Breaking out of a pattern
A suggestion that is not what you would have played next is the point, and it is occasionally inspiring.
Exploring an idea
Playing with a continuation is a way to hear where a phrase could go without committing to it.
Understanding real-time generation
Anyone building interactive generation should try it to feel the latency the player experiences.
Alternatives
- A loop pedal — Deterministic, immediate and entirely yours.
- A generative music app — Finished music rather than a continuation of your playing.
- Playing with another musician — The original version and still the best.

What to pin down beforehand
Expect latency
Real-time prediction has a delay, and a musician notices it immediately. Judge it as an experiment.
