Monolith MIDI Generator

Monolith is one of MIDI Maker’s experimental palettes — the kit strikes only with the block: a void kick and a low tom under the mass, a sub drop where it lands. A whole track stands on one progression, usually one chord: a Dorian mass held four to eight bars at a time over a root pedal that moves only by octave.

What to listen for: One huge chord held over a droning bass for a whole section; nothing changes key, so listen to how the same few notes keep being struck differently.

Roll a monolith track

Monolith is included with the Pro and Studio plans; the free plan covers five genres. See pricing.

How the engine writes monolith

Nothing develops harmonically, and that is the point — the change is all texture. A narrow circling figure is endlessly re-struck, phase-shifted, compressed and inverted over the stack, so the track transforms while the ground never moves.

From a roll to your DAW

A roll defaults to 96 BPM (every preset and tempo is editable before and after generating) and plays back in the browser through the studio's own synths. When you like a take, export it as whole-track or per-instrument MIDI, or as WAV/MP3 audio — the drum part uses General MIDI numbering, so it lands correctly on any drum plugin. There are step-by-step import guides for Ableton Live, FL Studio and Logic Pro.
