PrimalMidi
Generate genre-accurate multi-track MIDI patterns from key, scale, genre and BPM. PrimalMidi creates complete arrangements with drums, bass, chords and melody — giving you a starting point that's already in the pocket for your chosen style.
What you get
A multi-track MIDI file containing separate patterns for drums, bass, chords, and melody. Import it into any DAW, assign your own instruments, and start arranging immediately.
Best genres to try
HouseTechnoHip-HopTrapLofiDNBSynthwaveRetrowaveAfrobeatsJazz
- House / Tech House (120–128 BPM): Four-on-the-floor kick, offbeat hats, syncopated bass. Try C minor or G minor for that classic deep house feel.
- Techno (128–140 BPM): Driving kick patterns, minimal melodic content. A minor and Dorian scale give you that dark, hypnotic edge.
- Hip-Hop / Trap (70–90 / 130–160 BPM): Boom-bap or trap hi-hat rolls. Use D minor or E minor for moody progressions.
- Lofi (70–90 BPM): Swung drums, jazzy chord voicings. Try E♭ major or B♭ major for warm, nostalgic tones.
- DNB / Drum & Bass (170–180 BPM): Fast breakbeats with rolling bass. A minor Phrygian mode creates tension.
- Synthwave / Retrowave (100–120 BPM): Arpeggiated chords and pulsing bass. F# minor for that neon-lit retro vibe.
Pro tip: Don't lock yourself into genre defaults. Generate a Jazz MIDI at 140 BPM, then drop it over a Techno drum bus — genre-blending is where original sounds live.
PrimalVox
Text-to-speech vocal synthesis with reverb, rhythmic gating, FX chain and optional background audio. Type your lyrics or spoken-word text, pick a voice from 14 countries, choose a style preset, and optionally upload a background WAV to mix underneath.
Best genres to try
PsytranceTechnoIndustrialEBMAmbientLofiHip-HopDubstep
Pro tip: Layer two renders of the same text — one male at default with Plate reverb, one female at "whispering" with Cathedral panned opposite. Instant call-and-response texture.
Beat Randomiser
Slice your audio into a grid, then shuffle, reverse, repeat or mute slices with controllable probability. Feed in a drum loop, a full mix, or even a vocal phrase.
Best genres to try
Glitch HopIDMDNBBreakbeatDubstepExperimental
Pro tip: Run Beat Randomiser on the same loop multiple times with different seeds. Comp the best slices from multiple renders into one arrangement.
Phaser
A classic phaser effect with adjustable rate, depth and feedback. The phaser sweeps notch filters through your signal creating that distinctive swirling, jet-engine movement.
Best genres to try
PsytranceFunkDiscoNu-DiscoProgressive HouseSynthwaveRock
Pro tip: A phaser on a mono signal creates movement. A phaser on a stereo-widened signal creates space. Chain: Phaser then Sonic Transformer with Stereo Widen.
Gater
BPM-synchronised rhythmic gating that chops your audio into rhythmic patterns. A staple of trance, EDM builds, and sidechain-style effects.
Best genres to try
TranceProgressive HouseEDMPsytranceSynthwaveDubstep
Pro tip: Gate a sustained pad at 1/8, then run the result through Phaser with a slow rate. The sweep modulates the slices differently as it moves.
Stem Splitter
Separate any mixed audio file into four stems: drums, bass, vocals and other. Powered by deep learning source separation.
What you get
A ZIP file containing four WAV stems. Each stem is the same length as your original, perfectly aligned for layering in your DAW.
Pro tip: Feed isolated stems through other Primalwav tools — gate just the vocal, phase just the bass, randomise just the drums.
Smart Transpose
Auto-detects the key of your audio and transposes it to any target key using high-quality pitch-shifting. No guesswork required.
Best use cases
All genresDJ editsRemix workSample-based production
Pro tip: If detection seems off on distorted audio, try isolating with Stem Splitter first then transpose the melodic stem.
MasterForge
A professional mastering chain that applies EQ, multiband compression, stereo enhancement, limiting and dither in one pass.
Preset guide
- Clean: Transparent mastering. Best for acoustic, jazz, classical.
- Warm: Harmonic richness in low-mids. Perfect for lofi, R&B, soul.
- Loud: Aggressive compression for EDM, trap, dubstep.
- Wide: Stereo enhancement for house, trance, ambient.
Pro tip: Master at the end of your chain. Get your mix sounding good first — MasterForge enhances a good mix but can't fix a bad one.
PrimalMark
Turn your track into a signed creation. PrimalMark reads the hidden metadata inside your WAV file, lets you review it, strip it, and replace it with your own artist identity.
Two processing modes
- Replace metadata only: Strips existing INFO tags and writes yours. Audio untouched.
- Clean audio artefacts + replace metadata: Also strips silence and normalizes levels.
Pro tip: Run PrimalMark as the very last step in your release workflow — after mastering, after final edits. Fill in every field for complete attribution.
