What is AIVA?
AIVA is an artificial intelligence composer aimed at soundtracks: it generates pieces in more than 250 styles, from classical and orchestral to electronic or rock, with control over structure and instrumentation. Its big differentiator against other generators is MIDI export, so you can open the composition in your DAW and keep working on it as a musician.

Frequently asked questions
Is AIVA free?

Can I edit the music afterwards?

Is it suitable for commercial use?
Yes, from the Standard plan it includes a commercial licence. The free plan does not.
