The Problem

Generic AI music generators hit a wall fast.

One-shot audio is fun for a demo — and frustrating for a real workflow. You cannot fix the hook, swap the drums, or rebalance stems when everything is baked into a single file. High-intent creators need AI music generation that remains editable inside an AI DAW.

The Solution

Melodex is Cursor — for music.

Instead of pasting blobs of audio, you work prompt-first: generate music from text, refine with follow-ups, and edit MIDI like a traditional text-to-music pipeline should allow. If you want to create music with AI without giving up multitrack control, this is the workflow.

What that means in practice

01
Prompt -> full arrangement
Describe a vibe. Get a structured project with sections - not a mystery MP3.
02
Scoped edits
Say "make the chorus punchier" and keep the verse intact.
03
Deterministic when you need it
Same prompt, same patch - predictable baselines for real production.
04
Stem export
Finish in any mixer. Ship to YouTube, games, or film without rerolling.
05
Native desktop performance
Electron + Tone.js for responsive multitrack playback.
06
Iterate in language or MIDI
Prompt the copilot or open the piano roll - your call.
How it works

From idea to arrangement in four steps.

01

Type your prompt

"Chill lo-fi beat at 85 BPM with rhodes piano."

02

AI builds the project

LLM returns a Zod-validated patch. Tracks, sections, MIDI.

03

Hear it instantly

Tone.js loads the project. Multitrack playback in under 5 seconds.

04

Iterate with words

Surgical edits to one section at a time. Or open the piano roll.

Features

Everything you need to ship a track.

01

Prompt-driven

Describe the song in plain English. Melodex builds the project, sections and all.

02

Section-aware edits

Say "make the chorus punchier." Verse and intro stay untouched.

03

Fully editable

Open any clip in the piano roll. Drag, draw, delete. AI is a starting point, not a cage.

04

Stem export

Drums, bass, piano, FX. Each track its own WAV. Mix in your own tools if you want.

05

Local fallback

No API key? No internet? A deterministic interpreter keeps you working.

06

Native desktop

Electron + Tone.js. Sub-5-second multitrack playback. Same patch, same sound, every time.
