Docs / Get started

Install the plugin

MIDI Genie also runs inside your DAW, as a VST3 instrument (and AU on Mac), and as a standalone app. One installer adds them all. Log in with your account, and your credits and takes come with you.

What you need

Install on a Mac

  1. Download the installer from the Plugin page in the web app, or download it here.
  2. Open it. If your Mac says the installer is "Not Opened", press Done, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and press Open Anyway. You only do this once.
  3. Follow the steps. The installer adds:
    • the MIDI Genie app, in Applications
    • the AU and VST3 plugins, in your system plugin folders
    • the built-in sounds, shared by the app and the plugins
  4. Restart your DAW, or rescan plugins, so it finds MIDI Genie.

Install on Windows

  1. Download the installer from the Plugin page in the web app, or download it here.
  2. Open it. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", press More info, then Run anyway, and Yes when Windows asks to allow changes. You only do this once.
  3. Follow the steps. The installer adds:
    • the MIDI Genie app, in the Start menu
    • the VST3 plugin, in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
    • the built-in sounds, shared by the app and the plugin
  4. Restart your DAW, or rescan plugins, so it finds MIDI Genie. In FL Studio: Options → Manage plugins → Find more plugins.

Use the 64-bit version of your DAW. To remove MIDI Genie, go to Settings → Apps in Windows.

Watch it on Windows: installing, logging in, making a beat and dragging it into FL Studio.

MIDI Genie is an instrument. Load it into an instrument slot, not an effect slot.

Log in

  1. Open MIDI Genie in your DAW, or open the app on its own.
  2. Under MIDI Genie account, press Log in with MIDI Genie. The plugin shows a short code and opens your browser.
  3. In the browser, log in if you need to, check the code matches the one in the plugin, and press Connect the plugin.
  4. The plugin logs in by itself within a few seconds. Your credits show in its top bar.

Only connect a plugin you've just pressed Log in on. If the browser didn't open, press Open the page again in the plugin.

If your account doesn't include the plugin yet, it says The plugin comes with any plan or credit pack. Press See plans and packs, pick a plan or buy any credit pack, then press I've got one now.

Your takes, everywhere

While you're logged in, your sessions and takes sync both ways: make something in the plugin and it's in your Library on the web, and the other way round. If your plan ends, syncing stops, and everything already on your computer stays there.

Logging out

Log out in the plugin's Settings. To log out a computer you no longer have, open the Plugin page in the web app and press Log out next to it.

Updates

When a new version is out, MIDI Genie shows a banner inside the plugin. Press What's new to see the changes, or Download to get it. Run the new installer over the old one. Your settings, sessions and takes stay as they are.

Bought a licence key?

It still works. When MIDI Genie opens, paste your key under License key instead of logging in. Bring your own provider key explains the rest.
