Torsion is one of MIDI Maker’s experimental palettes: twisted meter. The harmony runs in 5- and 7-bar loops and in 3- and 5-beat chords that cross the barline, while every rhythm row accents each fifth sixteenth — cells of five fighting a grid of four.
What to listen for: Patterns counted in fives and sevens fighting a steady four-beat grid, so the accents trip over the barline and wind back round.
Torsion is included with the Pro and Studio plans; the free plan covers five genres. See pricing.
How the engine writes torsion
Melodies coil in seconds with the odd sixth and screw upward a step per bar, a counter-line winds the other way, and a grinding bass counts fives and threes under them. The kit is a dry tick-and-click pulse — wire ticks, a soft throb of a kick on the fives’ heads, a telegraph tap when the chord turns — in rows of two, three and five bars that never resolve together.
From a roll to your DAW
A roll defaults to 140 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.
