MiniMax
MiniMax Music covers Music 2.6, Music Cover, Music 2.0, lyrics generation, one-step cover generation, two-step cover preprocessing and prompt-plus-lyrics song creation. Music 2.6 improves rhythmic tension and pauses, low-end acoustics, lo-fi and indie vocal character, and instruction control over BPM, key, song structure and emotional arc. Its new Cover mode can preserve a source melody while changing genre, arrangement or lyrics, and MiniMax reports first-packet latency below 20 seconds.
