MiniMax Music Cover

minimax/minimax-music-cover

Your song, another style — melody kept, 219 F

Give it a track and a description of where you want it to go: another genre, another voice, another arrangement. The melody survives; everything around it changes. You can replace the words at the same time.

What this model does well

  • 🎚️

    Keeps the melody

    The tune stays recognisable; the production does not

  • 🎛️

    Restyle

    Change genre, voice, instruments and arrangement at once

  • ✍️

    Lyrics override

    Supply new words to replace the originals

  • ⏳

    Asynchronous

    Generation is a job: you poll for the finished track

Example prompts

  • Gentle acoustic version: female vocal, nylon guitar, light percussion, slowed tempo.

  • A danceable afrobeats take on my demo: tight drums, round bass, backing vocals.

  • Same melody as roots reggae, deep male vocal, organ and restrained brass.

  • Gospel a cappella: choir alone, handclaps, no instruments at all.

Good to know

  • It needs a source track — a publicly reachable MP3 or WAV. A request without one is refused before you are charged.
  • Twice the price of generating from scratch, because the provider charges twice.
  • Covering music you do not own can infringe its rights. The model does not check, and neither do we.
  • You cannot specify a length: the cover follows the source.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });

const job = await client.music.generations.create({
  "model": "minimax-music-cover",
  "prompt": "Same melody, afrobeats arrangement, warm bass and talking drum",
  "source_audio_url": "https://your-host.example.com/original-song.mp3"
});

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') {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  result = await client.jobs.retrieve(job.id);
}
console.log('Track URL:', result.output?.audio_url);
