Create instrumental music or songs from a mood, a scene or your own lyrics. Start with an example and shape a complete work on your device. Choose instrumental creation, then edit an example to set the mood, instruments and musical structure. Request the complete work in one generation. Choose a song, edit the full lyrics and keep the verses, chorus, bridge and ending you want. Generate the complete song in one request. Singing, lyric clarity and structure need listening review. Start with separate Mandarin, Cantonese and English song examples, or four instrumental ideas. Preset lyrics and structure suit the selected target length, from short hooks to longer works. Changing the length of an untouched preset updates its version; edited lyrics and musical choices stay intact. The default key is C major. Changing the singing language does not translate lyrics; use lyrics in the selected language. Listen to check vocals and the words actually sung. Create 5 instrumentals and 5 songs free, each up to 3 minutes. Downloading or importing resources is free and uses no creation allowance. More creations, targets over 3 minutes, editing, all sharing and export require Pro. Only successfully saved works count; failed or cancelled work does not. Existing works and current counts stay; this update does not refill the allowance. If a free work is planned longer than 3 minutes, it stops before audio is generated, with a clear message and no allowance charge. The song is not cut short. See the current stage and actual elapsed time beside the creation controls. The estimated time range adapts to successful work on your device; temperature and workload can change it. On iPhone/iPad, keep the app in the foreground while the app requests an awake screen. On Mac, keep the workspace open. Music editing is included with lifetime Pro. Your originals stay unchanged. Make simple edits to your music: trim sections, adjust volume, speed and pitch, add fades and blend sections smoothly. Preview your changes and save a new version while keeping the original. Choose M4A, WAV, AIFF or FLAC when sharing or exporting audio. Follow the recording’s measured waveform as you listen. Light and dark appearances keep a consistent style, with a spacious Glass workspace on iPad and Mac. Newly saved music starts a preview while the app is in the foreground. Your later playback choices take priority. Paused position is restored quietly after reopening; press Play to continue. New generation targets are 1–300 seconds. Free works are limited to 180 seconds (3 minutes); Pro works to 300 seconds (5 minutes). Existing works longer than 5 minutes remain available for playback, editing and export.
