MiniMax Music 2.6 — Complete Songs, with or without Your Own Lyrics
Turn a Style Description into Vocals, Accompaniment, and a Full Arrangement
MiniMax Music 2.6 turns lyrics and a style description into a complete song with vocals, accompaniment, and a detailed arrangement. You can add your own lyrics (up to 3,500 characters, with section tags such as [Intro], [Verse], and [Chorus]), leave the lyrics field empty so the model writes them from your prompt, or turn on instrumental mode to create a track without vocals. The style prompt accepts up to 2,000 characters, giving you room to describe the genre, era, tempo, vocal style, mood, and setting. By default, the model returns a 44.1kHz, 256kbps MP3, and commercial use is supported.
MiniMax Music 2.6 adds three useful options that are not available in MiniMax Music V2. First, lyrics are optional: leave the field empty with instrumental mode off, and the model will write lyrics from your style prompt. Second, instrumental mode creates a track without vocals. Third, the style-prompt limit increases from 300 to 2,000 characters, so you can describe the arrangement, vocal style, and setting in more detail. One official example is 'City Pop, 80s retro, groovy synth bass, warm female vocal, 104 BPM, nostalgic urban night'.
If you add your own lyrics, use section tags such as [Intro], [Verse], and [Chorus], and put each lyric line on a separate line. Lyrics can contain up to 3,500 characters. The API supports MP3, WAV, and PCM output, sample rates from 16kHz to 44.1kHz, and bitrates up to 256kbps. This page uses the default settings: MP3, 44.1kHz, and 256kbps.
Generation runs in the background. You can follow its progress on the page, find the result in your dashboard gallery, and see the fixed credit cost on the Generate button before you start.
