MiniMax: Music 2.5+

MiniMax Music 2.5+ creates music from a written musical brief and lyrics. Select minimax/music-2.5+ for this exact edition; music-2.5+ is its configured alias. Its music method uses a JSON request with model, prompt and lyrics and produces generated audio. Use it to turn a written song concept into a listening draft, set supplied lyrics to music or explore a composition before further editing.

Use prompt to describe the musical style, mood and setting, and lyrics for the words to be sung. A useful brief might ask for an introspective folk song for a quiet cafe, with a verse that establishes the scene and a chorus that repeats its central idea. Keep the musical direction in prompt and the intended lines in lyrics so the text has a clear role in the composition.

For Music 2.5+, prompt must contain 10–2,000 characters and lyrics must contain 10–3,500 characters. Include both text fields in the request along with the selected model. Use the prompt space for the musical choices that matter, then give the full intended words in lyrics. A compact but complete brief is easier to compare with the returned song than unrelated instructions spread across both fields.

Separate lyric lines with newline characters. Section labels such as [Intro], [Verse], [Pre Chorus], [Chorus], [Bridge] and [Outro] can identify the intended structure; the documented set also includes [Interlude], [Post Chorus], [Transition], [Break], [Hook], [Build Up], [Inst] and [Solo]. Place the actual words beneath their section labels and keep repeated sections deliberate. These markers give the composition a structure to work from; review how the completed song actually realizes the transitions and repetitions.

The audio_setting object offers sample_rate values of 16000, 24000, 32000 or 44100, bitrate values of 32000, 64000, 128000 or 256000, and format values mp3 or wav. Choose the file settings for the next editing or playback step and keep them with the brief. The published example requests 44100, 256000 and mp3; those are example selections rather than universal defaults for all three fields.

The selected music workflow is synchronous and non-streaming. The documented output_format choices are url and hex, with hex as the schema default; the selected example explicitly requests url. For URL output, use the returned Ailoot link to download the saved audio. A hex result represents audio bytes that must be decoded into the selected file format before playback. The response may contain both audio and audio_url locations for one generated audio; preserve that result as one song.

Save the completed audio with its lyrics, musical brief, exact model ID and requested file settings. Listen for the intended words, section order and musical direction before placing it in a project. If a request ends without a complete result, retain its original request identity and response information for a result check; an automatic replacement request can create another song. A revision can change a specific lyric or musical instruction while preserving the rest of the brief for comparison.
