What every control does

The settings panel is short on purpose. Most of the panel can stay on Auto for most tracks — the controls below are for the moments when you already know what you need, not for filling in every field before you press generate.

Two controls that come and go

Gender and Language steer a sung vocal, so they only appear on the modes that produce one. Switch to Instrumental, Samples and Remix and they are gone — not disabled, gone. Nothing is wrong: there is no vocal for them to act on.

• Quick — vocal. Describe the song in plain English and let the studio decide the rest — tempo, key, structure, even the lyrics. The fastest way to hear something.
• Song — vocal. Full control. Your own style description and lyrics, with an optional reference track to steer the production.
• Rap — vocal. Rap and hip-hop, where the flow and the beat matter more than the melody.
• Instrumental — no vocal. No vocals at all. Beds, scores and backing tracks.
• Vocals — vocal. An isolated vocal performance from your lyrics, with no instrumental behind it.
• Samples — no vocal. Short loops, one-shots and texture beds for producers to build on.
• Remix — no vocal. Work on audio you already have — restyle the whole thing, or fix one section.

Duration starts on Auto

How long the track should be. Auto is on by default and lets the studio choose a length that suits the arrangement. The slider only appears once you switch Auto off. That is why the panel can look like it has no length setting at all — the slider is not missing, it is waiting. The range once you switch Auto off is 10 seconds to 10 minutes.

The two that change how you work

Seed and Creativity are not musical settings — they change how the studio behaves between generations, which makes them the two worth understanding properly.

1. 01

   Seed

   The starting point for the randomness. Fix it when you want to change one thing and hear only that change; let it move when you want fresh ideas.

2. 02

   Creativity

   How far the studio strays from the safe reading of your description. Lower is more predictable and more literal; higher takes more risks. Range: 0.5 to 1.

After the take

A finished track is not the end of the controls. Retake, Extend, Repaint and Edit all work on a track you already have, so a take that is eighty per cent right is a starting point rather than a discard.
