MiniMax Music 3: Full Songs from Lyrics and a Description
MiniMax Music 3 generates complete songs up to 5 minutes long, vocals included. You give it two things: a description of the music (genre, mood, instrumentation) and the lyrics you want sung. It writes the melody, arranges the instruments, and performs the vocals in one pass.
The output is studio-format audio: 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo WAV, ready to master, mix, or drop straight into a video.
What can you do with it?
- Write a song from scratch. Bring lyrics and a style; get back a finished track with vocals, arrangement, and structure.
- Score a video with an original track. No licensing, no stock-music sound. Describe the exact mood and length you need.
- Demo your songwriting. Hear your lyrics performed with a full band before you book a studio.
-
Make an instrumental. Tag a section
[instrumental]or[solo]and the model plays it without vocals. - Sketch in any genre. Pop ballad, drill, bossa nova, synthwave: the style prompt drives it, and you can be as specific as a BPM and a key.
- Iterate on one idea. Keep the seed, tweak the lyrics or the arrangement, and regenerate a close variation.
How to use it
- Describe the music. In the Music tab, write what the song sounds like. The model responds best to structured captions: genre, BPM, key, the emotional arc, what the vocals sound like, and how the sections build.
-
Write the lyrics. In the Lyrics tab, use structure tags on their own lines:
[intro],[verse],[pre-chorus],[chorus],[post-chorus],[bridge],[instrumental],[solo],[outro]. - Set the duration. 1 to 300 seconds, default 60. It’s an upper bound; the song ends when the arrangement does.
- Run it. One track comes back as stereo WAV.
What you get
One complete song as a 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo WAV file, up to 5 minutes. Vocals follow your lyrics line by line; structure follows your tags.
Tips
- Structure the description like a producer’s brief. “Indie pop, 96 BPM, D major, breathy female vocal, sparse verse with plucked guitar, chorus opens up with drums and stacked harmonies” beats “a happy pop song.”
- Every structure tag gets its own line. Tags mixed into a lyric line get sung instead of interpreted.
- Match duration to your structure. Two verses and two choruses need more than 60 seconds; a single hook doesn’t need 300.
- Describe the sections in the music prompt too. A section-by-section arrangement (“verse: piano and voice, chorus: full band”) gives the model a map to follow.
- Raise inference steps for a final render. The default 30 is a good draft speed; push it higher when the take is worth the wait.
- Reuse the seed to stay close to a take you like. Same seed plus a small lyric edit keeps the song recognizably the same.
