What this model does well

  • 💿

    110 F a song

    One price per track, up to five minutes

  • ✍️

    Lyrics optional

    Write your own, or let the model write them from your prompt

  • 🎹

    Instrumental mode

    Ask for no vocals and get the backing alone

  • ⏳

    Asynchronous

    Generation is a job: you poll for the finished track

Example prompts

  • Mid-tempo afrobeats, highlife guitar and a round bass, joyful chorus, the feel of a Cotonou market at first light.

  • Festive coupé-décalé for a drinks advert: brass, percussion, thirty seconds of energy and a sung tagline.

  • Instrumental only: kora and a soft pad, slow tempo, for the opening of a podcast about farming.

  • West African gospel, four-part choir, organ and drums, hopeful lyrics in French.

Good to know

  • You pay per track, not per second, so a thirty-second idea costs the same as a five-minute song. Prompt carefully.
  • Lyrics and instrumental contradict each other and are refused together — ask for one.
  • You cannot specify a length. The model decides, up to five minutes.
  • Nobody can guarantee a song is free of resemblance to existing music. Check before you publish commercially.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

});

console.log('Job id:', job.id);
console.log('Credits used:', job.tchavi.credits_used);

// Poll for completion
let result = await client.jobs.retrieve(job.id);
while (result.status === 'pending' || result.status === 'processing') {
