What are the differences between drawing MIDI chords by hand or using a generator app?

Compare manual control vs AI-powered speed

The Challenge

Drawing by hand: Complete control over every note, but slow and requires music theory knowledge. Great for custom voicings if you know what you're doing.

Generator apps: Fast results, but quality depends on the tool. Random generators produce unusable progressions; smart generators (AI-powered) create professional results.

How MidiMind Solves This

MidiMind combines the best of both: AI generates professional-quality progressions instantly, then you can modify them in your DAW if you want manual control. Start fast, customize later.

You get the speed and theory knowledge of a generator with the option to fine-tune like hand-drawn MIDI.
