Complete songs with real structure

Music 3.0 can carry an idea through an intro, verses, choruses, a bridge, instrumental passages, and an outro. This makes the result easier to place under a complete video, episode, trailer, or campaign.

  • Tracks up to five minutes
  • Structured song sections
  • Evolving instrumentation
  • Consistent themes and rhythm
  • Section tags for added direction

Control the lyrics and vocal delivery

Paste your own lyrics or let the lyrics optimizer draft and polish words from the style prompt. You can also describe vocal tone, delivery, harmonies, and how the performance should develop.

  • Use your own lyrics
  • Generate lyrics from a prompt
  • Polish an existing lyric idea
  • Add verse and chorus tags
  • Describe tone and harmonies

Switch to instrumental-only generation

Instrumental mode removes the need to provide lyrics and focuses the generation on arrangement, groove, and texture. It is a practical option when dialogue, narration, or gameplay needs the foreground.

  • No lyric input required
  • No generated singing
  • Detailed instrument prompts
  • Useful under spoken content
  • Works across moods and genres

Clear arrangements with WAV or MP3 output

Music 3.0 aims for defined instruments, cleaner transients, and less crowded mixes across full arrangements. Download WAV for editing or MP3 for quick publishing and review.

  • WAV download option
  • MP3 download option
  • Defined instrumental layers
  • Clear rhythmic details
  • Ready for common editing workflows

Frequently asked questions

What is Music 3.0?
Music 3.0 is MiniMax's latest AI music generation model. It creates complete songs from a musical description and optional lyrics, with support for sung vocals, structured arrangements, and instrumental-only tracks.
How does Music 3.0 work?
You describe the genre, mood, instrumentation, vocal style, tempo, and intended use. Music 3.0 interprets that direction, combines it with supplied or generated lyrics when needed, and produces an arranged track in one generation.
Can I use Music 3.0 music commercially?
Do not assume every generated track is automatically royalty-free or that you own it outright. Commercial use depends on MiniMax's current Music Creation Terms, which require you to hold the necessary rights to your inputs and follow applicable output notices and restrictions. Review those terms before using a track in ads, client work, monetized content, games, or distribution.
Does Music 3.0 generate vocals?
Yes. Music 3.0 can generate sung lead vocals as part of a complete song, and the prompt can describe the desired tone, delivery, breathing, backing vocals, and harmonies. Results remain generative, so exact performance details may vary.
Can I use my own lyrics with Music 3.0?
Yes. Paste your lyrics and add section tags such as Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Solo, and Outro to guide the arrangement. The lyrics optimizer can also write or polish lyrics from your track description.
Can Music 3.0 make instrumental music?
Yes. Instrumental mode creates music without sung vocals and does not require a lyric input. It is useful for video backgrounds, podcast beds, game soundtracks, meditation content, and other projects where speech or action needs space.
How long can a Music 3.0 track be?
Music 3.0 supports complete songs up to five minutes long. Actual duration and section timing depend on the prompt, lyrics, arrangement, and generated performance.
What audio formats does Music 3.0 output?
Music 3.0 output is available as WAV or MP3. WAV is better suited to editing and post-production, while MP3 is convenient for quick review, sharing, and publishing.
How much does Music 3.0 cost?
Music 3.0 uses BudgetPixel credits and is billed per generated track rather than per second of audio. The credit cost is shown before generation and may change as pricing or service conditions are updated.
How does Music 3.0 compare with other AI music generators?
Music 3.0 is positioned around complete, long-form songs with expressive vocals, structured sections, optional custom lyrics, and a dedicated instrumental mode. It is especially practical for creators who need a finished track for an existing video, podcast, game, ad, or digital project.
Does Music 3.0 have an API?
Yes — Music 3.0 is available through the BudgetPixel developer API via the `POST /v1/audios/music-3.0` endpoint, supporting music generation. Generate an API key from the developer console (available on Premium plans and above) and see the full reference at docs.budgetpixel.com.
How much does the Music 3.0 API cost?
API usage is billed in credits from the same balance your plan includes, at the standard metered rate: 200 credits per track. Failed generations are never charged. You can estimate any request's exact cost with POST /v1/cost before running it.
Can I use Music 3.0 with Claude or other AI agents (MCP)?
Yes — Music 3.0 is exposed through the BudgetPixel MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent can generate with it from a plain-language request. Connect your account at budgetpixel.com/mcp; generations use the same credit balance and pricing as the web studio and the API.
