Field notes
The page describes a workflow that can begin with a natural-language mood, a built-in progression, or direct edits. Its music engine checks AI-suggested chord names and helps map how notes move between chords; MIDI can then be dragged into a DAW. The maker, Matthias Gray, says he built it to explore harmony without classical training. Cloud AI uses the user's own provider account, while the listed offline tools do not require an AI connection.
