Key Features

  • Commercial licensing - Developed using fully authorized music datasets

  • Adaptable duration - Create content ranging from quick effects (~2 minutes with Small) to extended tracks (~6 minutes with Medium)

  • Efficient lightweight models - Operate Small SFX and Small music versions using standard processors without specialized graphics hardware

  • Enhanced musicality - Medium version produces richer compositions with stronger architecture when graphics acceleration is available

Model Variants

  • Small-SFX: Soundscapes and brief ambient segments (≤2:00)

  • Small-Music: Concise musical pieces and portable loops (≤2:00)

  • Medium: Extended compositions with improved structural integrity (~6:20)

The Small variant extends to two minutes (significantly longer than previous 11s/47s limitations), while Medium surpasses six minutes for extended sequences.
