A powerful music generation model optimized for high-quality song production, capable of creating fully arranged tracks from lyrics and style instructions with precise control over tempo, key, structure, vocal performance, and emotional progression.

## API Schemas

### Generate music sample <a href="#retrieve-the-generated-video-from-the-server" id="retrieve-the-generated-video-from-the-server"></a>

This endpoint generates a music piece based on the prompt (which includes style instructions) and the provided lyrics. It returns a generation task ID, its status, and related metadata.

### Retrieve the generated music sample from the server <a href="#retrieve-the-generated-video-from-the-server" id="retrieve-the-generated-video-from-the-server"></a>

After sending a request for music generation, this task is added to the queue. This endpoint lets you check the status of a audio generation task using its `id`, obtained from the endpoint described above.\
If the video generation task status is `complete`, the response will include the final result — with the generated audio URL and additional metadata.

Here’s an example of generating an audio file using a prompt with style instructions and a separate parameter for the lyrics.
