Getting a Claude-built chord progression out as MIDI
2026.10.29
A progression you ask Claude for is written out as MIDI (.mid), not just as a check MP3.
Where it lands
Inside renders/<name>_v<N>_midi/. Each revision of a song gets a new number (v2, v3…), so earlier versions are kept.
When you already know the chords
Hand them over as they are. Claude passes them to the engine, which handles voicing and voice-leading.
Use these, one per bar: Dbmaj9 - C7(b9) - Fm9 - Ebm9 - Ab13 - Dbmaj7#11 - Gm7b5 - C7alt
Render with keys + pads only.Into your DAW
Import the .mid from that folder using your DAW's MIDI import (the menu name varies by DAW).
