AudioCipher
AudioCipher turns words into MIDI melodies and chord progressions inside your DAW — plus a MIDI Vault for managing musical ideas. One-time $59.99.
What is AudioCipher and how does it work?
AudioCipher is a MIDI and audio plugin that converts text into musical ideas — built to help musicians and producers break through creative blocks. Type a word or phrase, and AudioCipher generates a unique melody and chord progression based on it.
Version 4.0 added the MIDI Vault — a file-management layer where you save generations as “cards,” bundle them with audio samples, tag them with metadata, and organize your musical ideas.
How it works:
- Type any word or phrase
- Select your scale, chords, rhythm, and tempo
- AudioCipher generates a melody and chord progression from the text
- Refine with Join Notes, Inversions, Triplet Notes, and BPM controls
- Save to the MIDI Vault or drag the MIDI directly into your DAW
How much does AudioCipher cost?
AudioCipher is a one-time purchase of $59.99 — full access to the plugin and all features, including future updates, with no recurring fees or subscription.

How does AudioCipher compare to other AI MIDI tools?
AudioCipher occupies a creative-spark niche:
- vs Staccato — Staccato generates MIDI from descriptive prompts with chat-style refinement; AudioCipher converts literal text into MIDI as a creativity device plus a file manager
- vs Magenta Studio — Magenta is free and Ableton-only; AudioCipher is a paid cross-DAW plugin with the MIDI Vault organization layer
- vs Output Co-Producer — Output suggests audio samples; AudioCipher generates MIDI from text
Choose AudioCipher when you want a fast, playful text-to-MIDI idea generator plus a way to organize your MIDI library — and you prefer a one-time purchase over a subscription.
