Turn a musical idea into something you can hear.

Describe a style and write a few lyric lines. Make a first piece of music, then try transcription or change one input to find a version you want to keep.

What would you like to try?

Section titled “What would you like to try?”
Make your first music

Start with a verified folk-pop recipe. Describe the sound, structure the lyrics, and listen to the Candidate.

Start with a small piece →Understand a reference melody

Turn 16 seconds of instrumental music into ABC and MIDI. Check pitch and rhythm against the original and find a phrase to explore.

Start with Reference Audio →One idea, several moods

Change only style, one lyric line, or the seed. Listen to each result, note the differences, and save the Candidate you like.

Hear a real example first

Section titled “Hear a real example first”

This approximately 35-second piece was generated on a local GPU and saved: English lyrics, a warm voice, acoustic guitar, and piano. Listen first, then choose a starting point.

This is a compressed copy of the verified local piece, with its original recipe. Playback generates no new music. It does not demonstrate the untested experiments below.

Two things to know before starting

Section titled “Two things to know before starting”

Open the local workbench and start by creating a Project, then choose generation and listening or Reference Audio transcription. To control the next melody, follow Score editing and regeneration to inspect, audition, and explicitly select a Score. To try a new style from a reference, follow the Cover tutorial, inspect the score, and choose melody or full. Save the results you like, then stay in the same Project to compare two Versions and explore another direction. Music generation needs a ready real Runtime; default fake mode produces a test tone. Preparation and entrypoints →

This site provides tutorials, copies inputs, and plays existing examples. Creation, uploads, saving, and comparison take place in the local workbench.

Ask one creative question at a time

Section titled “Ask one creative question at a time”

For example: “Would piano suit the same lyrics better than guitar?” Keep the original inputs, change one dimension, then listen to the voice, accompaniment, and ending. Each generation creates a Candidate. It becomes a Version only when you explicitly save it.

Each tutorial helps you choose inputs, inspect results, recover from a failure, and try the next idea. Use help and reference when you need parameters or troubleshooting.
