AIVA

AIVA, short for Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist, is an AI music generation platform that helps users create original music in more than 250 styles. It is designed for both beginners and professional creators, offering music generation, editing, audio and MIDI uploads, custom style models, and multiple download formats. AIVA focuses especially on personalized and instrumental music creation.

Uses of AIVA

AIVA can generate original music based on a user's creative direction and selected musical style. Users can create compositions quickly and then edit the generated tracks to better match their project. The platform also allows users to upload their own MIDI or audio as an influence, helping guide the musical characteristics of a new composition.

The platform can be used for background music, films, YouTube videos, games, advertisements, podcasts, social media, presentations, personal projects, and other visual-media content. AIVA's support for MIDI, audio, editing, and multiple download formats makes it useful for creators who want more control over their music rather than simply generating a finished track from a text prompt.

AIVA Models & Sub-Models

AIVA Music Generation Engine — AIVA's core technology can generate original compositions across more than 250 musical styles. It is designed to help users create music quickly while still allowing them to edit and customize the resulting tracks.

Custom Style Models — AIVA allows users to create their own style models. This gives creators more control over the musical characteristics they want to reproduce in future compositions and can be useful for developing a consistent sound.

Influence — AIVA's Influence technology allows users to provide an audio or MIDI composition as a creative reference. The system uses the reference to generate a new composition that shares relevant musical characteristics while remaining a newly generated piece.

Lyra — Lyra is AIVA's newer foundation model for personalized instrumental music. It uses natural-language prompts and can generate complete instrumental compositions ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. AIVA has also developed Influence as a post-training variant of Lyra for reference-based music generation.

ORAQL — ORAQL is AIVA's music-quality assessment model. It is used during model development and generation to evaluate musical quality and help select stronger generated results.
