AI composition assistant that generates instrumental tracks in more than 250 styles, with editing, MIDI export, and copyright ownership on the Pro plan.

Pros
  • MIDI export on every plan for editing in a DAW
  • Custom style models and audio or MIDI influence uploads
  • Pro plan transfers full copyright of compositions to the user
  • More than 250 instrumental styles
Cons
  • No vocal or lyric generation
  • Standard plan keeps copyright with AIVA and limits monetization to a few platforms
  • Prices shown in euros plus VAT, not US dollars

Made by Aiva Technologies, which has been releasing AI-composed music since 2016, AIVA has grown from a soundtrack-focused composer into a general music generation assistant. It produces instrumental pieces in more than 250 styles, from cinematic and classical to electronic and pop, in a matter of seconds.

Control over the result is what separates it from prompt-only generators. You can create your own style models, upload an audio or MIDI file as an influence, and then edit the generated composition in a built-in editor before exporting. Every plan downloads MP3 and MIDI, so tracks can move straight into a DAW for arrangement and mixing, while the Pro plan adds high-quality WAV and all other export formats. Licensing is spelled out per tier: on Free and Standard the copyright stays with AIVA, Standard allows monetization only on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram, and Pro transfers full copyright of your compositions to you with unrestricted monetization.

Composers, game developers, and video creators who want editable, MIDI-based instrumentals will find it a practical starting point for score-like music. It does not generate vocals or lyrics, so songwriters looking for sung tracks need a different tool. Prices are listed in euros plus VAT, and the free plan, limited to three downloads a month and non-commercial use with attribution, is better treated as a trial.
