What is Variations

Stop generating random MIDI.
Start developing ideas.

Variations isn't another random-MIDI button. It takes a simple musical idea — yours, or one it generates — and develops it into melodies, variations, drum patterns and arrangements, without breaking your creative flow.

Whether you start from your own MIDI or generate something new, it helps you compose faster. It doesn't replace your decisions; it gives you more of them worth making.

Composition workflow

One path from spark
to finished music.

Without leaving the plugin.

01Generate ideaStart from your own MIDI, or generate a fresh phrase in key.
02DevelopGrow the motif — up to 32 bars, with the identity intact.
03Create variationsMelody, bass, chords and rhythm, at the intensity you choose.
04Build arrangementsCall & response blocks, drum patterns, arrangement layers.
05ExportDrag MIDI or WAV straight into your DAW. No bouncing.
Step 01 — but the piano roll is empty?

Variations develops an idea.
Genesis gives you one.

ABYZOR Genesis Free forever

Variations is at its best when you feed it something you already like. Genesis is the free plugin that writes that first phrase — melodies, basslines, chord progressions and arpeggios, generated in key, in your DAW. Generate in Genesis, drag into Variations, keep going.

  • Four musical directions generated at once, pick the best one
  • Lock the rhythm or the pitch and regenerate the rest
  • Save up to 20 patterns with full seed and settings
  • Free forever — no trial, no account, no watermark
Get Genesis — free

Genesis is not required to use Variations — you can start from any MIDI you already have, or generate a source phrase inside Variations itself.

Coming soon Not in today’s build Free when it ships

Coming soon — not released yet. Everything below is a work-in-progress preview. You won’t find SONG, Develop with AI, or these Structure screens in the current public download. They ship as free updates when ready.

Coming soon: from the AI panel to a full song.

What you buy today is the V3 workflow in the next section. This roadmap shows what we’re building next — sharper Ideas tools, Develop with AI inside Variations, and SONG for full arrangements. Dates and UI may change before release.

What's new in V3

A ground-up rebuild.

From MIDI generator to a full composition workspace — faster UI, smarter ideas, and everything you need to finish a track inside one plugin. V3 is a free update; existing owners don't pay again.

Musical cohesion

Longer ideas.
Better music.

Generation up to 32 bars, so you get evolving melodies, longer chord progressions and complete sections instead of four-bar loops. Cohesion keeps a long phrase sounding like one idea — developed, not repeated.

  • Up to 32-bar generation
  • Experimental ↔ Cohesive balance control
  • More human, memorable motifs
  • Ideas that develop naturally over time
Musical Cohesion control in ABYZOR Variations
Structure

Call & response.
Not a flat loop.

Phrase-based composition. Motivic link controls how closely derived blocks resemble A. Order (AB, ABAB, ABAC…) sets the sequence in the clip. Regenerate, lock or undo each block independently.

How STRUCTURE works
Call and response STRUCTURE blocks in the piano roll
Drum pattern generator

Grooves in the
same flow.

Build drums alongside your melodies — no context switching, no second plugin. Multiple styles with a built-in sequencer, generated in step with the rest of your composition.

  • Multiple styles with built-in sequencer
  • Custom samples and preview mix
  • Generated alongside your composition

Drag & drop audio export

Drag WAV out,
like MIDI.

Export your ideas as audio by dragging them straight from Variations into your DAW. No bouncing, no recording, no extra steps — and it captures your preview audio including hosted VST instruments and drum patterns.

MIDI routing

  • Audition each variation on your favourite VST

Quick FAQ

Before you buy.

The plugin doesn't show up in my DAW.

Can I really drag audio out, not just MIDI?
Yes. Drag WAV directly from Variations into your DAW the same way you drag MIDI — no bouncing, recording or extra steps. It captures your preview audio including hosted VST instruments and drum patterns.
Do future updates cost extra?
No. Buy once at $9.99 and future updates for ABYZOR Variations are included. V3 was a free update for V2 owners.
