A direction. Never a destination.

The next note is a possibility.
The choice is always yours.

LYRA listens to the shape of your phrase and offers musical directions. Audition an idea, keep what moves you, and make it your own. Every suggestion runs locally on your computer.

01 / Explore the possibilities

From a spark.
To something that stays.

Melody, harmony and expression.
Three ways to move your idea forward.

01 / MELODY

A way past
the next blank bar.

Find continuations that respond to your phrase and the chord beneath it. Listen first. Choose the note, leap or silence that belongs.

NEXT NOTE / MOTIF VARIATIONS
02 / HARMONY

Give your melody
somewhere to land.

Explore progressions shaped around your melody. Edit each chord, change its inversion, and see the harmony directly in your piano roll.

Does LYRA write the music for me?

LYRA offers possibilities based on your melody, harmony and expression settings. Listen to a suggestion before you accept it. Your composition only changes when you choose or edit something.

Does it need an internet connection?

The composition engine runs locally and uses musical rules to generate suggestions. Your melodies do not need to be sent to a cloud service.

How does it fit into my DAW?

Windows standalone and VST3 development builds are available locally. LYRA includes host transport following, separate melody and chord MIDI channels, MIDI export and drag to DAW. Real-world host compatibility testing is still in progress; support for every DAW is not yet confirmed.

Can I change the suggested chords?

Yes. Edit each chord’s root, major/minor/diminished quality, inversion, timing and velocity. Suggestions are a starting point. You can also keep your melody locked while exploring other progressions.

Where can I download LYRA?

LYRA 0.5.1 is a development build. A public download, release date and price have not been announced. You can play the browser demo, or listen to the real example above and download its MIDI file.

There’s a melody in there.
