MelodAI

MelodAI is an AI music platform that does something most song generators don't: it hands you the tabs. You type a description of a song—like "upbeat bubbly pop, synth leads, bouncy bass, punchy drums, bright and playful, 120 BPM"—and within seconds it generates a full track with vocals and instruments. But instead of stopping there, it also transcribes the audio into guitar, bass, and piano tabs, which you can view in your browser or export as Guitar Pro, PDF, MusicXML, or MIDI files. It's a complete pipeline from idea to playable sheet music.

The generation is powered by Lyria 3, which returns two variations in under 20 seconds. You can like one, regenerate, or branch off. The transcription is fast—the page shows a tab transcribed in 8 seconds—and you can play along right in the browser using AlphaTab, with options to scrub and transpose. The export options are genuinely useful: GP5 for tab editors, PDF for printing, MusicXML for notation software like Sibelius or Dorico, and MIDI for your DAW. There's also a 12-stem MIDI option for producers who want to remix or sample.

MelodAI is built for musicians, creators, producers, and hobbyists. If you're a guitarist who wants to learn a generated song, a YouTuber needing royalty-free background tracks, or a producer looking for MIDI stems to drop into your DAW, this tool covers you. The free plan gives you 3 songs a month with watermarked audio and PDF tab previews, which is enough to test the waters. Paid plans start at $12/month for 20 songs, with commercial licenses included on all paid tiers.
