What is StepAudio 3 Music Preview?

StepAudio 3 Music Preview generates songs or instrumental music from a description, lyrics, vocals or reference audio.

From a song brief to an arrangement

The music route accepts a style description, lyrics or audio references and generates music. Documented uses include lyrics-to-song, instrumental generation and accompaniment built around dry vocals. It can use a reference to guide elements such as melody, timbre or vocal character.

Make the structure explicit

Give the brief a genre, tempo direction, instruments and intended mood. Label lyric sections such as verse, chorus and bridge so the requested progression is clear. A reference vocal and a written lyric should agree about the words and phrasing. Change one major variable at a time when comparing revisions.

Asynchronous generation

Use stepaudio-3-music-preview with the music endpoint. The interface returns an asynchronous task, so retain the task identifier and distinguish an unfinished job from a failed one. The publisher describes temporary trial access; lasting per-song or per-token prices are not established by that promotion.

What makes a usable result

Listen for intelligible lyrics, a coherent verse-to-chorus transition, clipping and a suitable ending. An attractive opening does not guarantee the rest of the song follows the requested form. For background music, assess how it sits under the actual dialogue or video. Use reference material you have permission to supply and check the applicable service terms before releasing the finished track.
