Getting Started with AI MIDI Music in Tchaikovsky
New to Tchaikovsky? This guide will walk you through the basics of how to generate your first AI-powered MIDI track, edit it, and start making music right inside your browser (or mobile app).
It’s fast, easy, and designed for anyone — no technical background needed.
Step 1: Create a New Project
When you log into Tchaikovsky, you’ll land on your dashboard.
Click “New Project” to start a blank session. This opens up the DAW interface where you can create, edit, and arrange your music.
Step 2: Write a Prompt
At the top of the DAW, you’ll see the “Generate” button.
Click it, and you’ll be asked to type in a prompt — basically, tell the AI what kind of music you want.
Example prompts:
- “A chill lo-fi hip-hop beat with soft piano and vinyl crackle.”
- “Epic orchestral intro at 120 BPM with strings and brass.”
- “Upbeat 80s synthpop melody in C major.”
The more specific you are, the better the results.
Step 3: Generate and Load
After you submit your prompt, Tchaikovsky processes it and generates a MIDI track.
It automatically appears on your timeline — ready to edit, arrange, and play.
No downloads, no waiting.
Step 4: Edit Your MIDI
Once the MIDI loads:
- Click and drag notes to move them.
- Stretch notes to change their duration.
- Change instruments by clicking on the track settings.
- Adjust velocity (how hard notes are played) for dynamic feel.
Tchaikovsky gives you full control — you’re not stuck with whatever the AI gave you. You can tweak it, remix it, or build on top of it however you want.
Step 5: Export Your Work
When you’re ready, you can export your project by clicking “Export”:
- Save as MIDI for editing in other DAWs.
- Export as WAV or MP3 for instant audio files.
- Download Sheet Music (PDF) if you want a printable score.
Everything is designed to be as fast and flexible as possible.
Final Thoughts
Tchaikovsky isn’t just about generating music — it’s about giving you a creative starting point you can shape and make your own.
Once you get the hang of it, generating new ideas becomes second nature.
And from there, the possibilities are endless.
