Key Features
What MiniMax Music 2.6 Can Do
Every feature is designed for creators who need professional-quality music fast — no music production background required.
Full Song Generation
Provide a style prompt and lyrics to generate a complete song with natural vocals, layered instrumentation, and professional mixing. Up to 4 minutes per track.
Instrumental Mode
Generate background music with no vocals. Ideal for video scoring, game audio, and ambient soundscapes. Enable it with a single toggle — no lyrics needed.
Lyrics Optimizer
Skip the lyric-writing. Enable Lyrics Optimizer and the model auto-generates lyrics from your style prompt. Just describe the mood — the AI handles the rest.
Song Structure Control
Use 14+ structure tags — [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Drop], [Outro] and more — to precisely shape the emotional arc and arrangement of every song.
Studio-Grade Audio
Output at up to 44.1kHz sample rate and 256kbps bitrate. Export in MP3, WAV, or PCM — ready for direct use in any professional production workflow.
How to Use
How to Use MiniMax Music 2.6
Three steps from idea to finished track. No music theory or production experience needed.
Write a Style Prompt
Describe the sound you want — genre, mood, vocal style, tempo, and instruments. The more specific, the better the result. Example: "Indie folk, melancholic, female vocal, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, 75 BPM."
Add Lyrics — or Let the AI Write Them
Paste in your own lyrics using structure tags like [Verse], [Chorus], and [Bridge] to control the song's layout. Or enable Lyrics Optimizer to have lyrics auto-generated from your prompt. For background music, turn on Instrumental Mode — no lyrics needed at all.
💡 Tip: Lyrics Optimizer and Instrumental Mode are mutually exclusive. Enabling either will override the lyrics field — you don't need to provide any lyrics when using these modes.

FAQ
MiniMax Music 2.6 — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is MiniMax Music 2.6?
- MiniMax Music 2.6 is an AI music generator released on April 10, 2026. Enter a style prompt and lyrics — or let the AI write the lyrics for you — and it generates a complete, studio-quality song with vocals and instrumentation. It also supports instrumental mode and the new AI Cover feature.
- How is MiniMax Music 2.6 different from Music 2.5?
- Music 2.6 adds two major capabilities not in 2.5: the AI Cover feature (transform any existing song into a new style while preserving its melody) and Lyrics Optimizer (automatically generate lyrics from your style prompt). Generation speed is also significantly faster.
- Can I generate music without writing lyrics?
- Yes — two ways. Enable Lyrics Optimizer and the AI writes lyrics automatically from your style prompt. Or enable Instrumental Mode to generate a fully instrumental track with no vocals at all.
- What audio formats and quality settings are available?
- You can export in MP3, WAV, or PCM. Sample rate options are 16kHz, 24kHz, 32kHz, and 44.1kHz. Bitrate options are 32kbps, 64kbps, 128kbps, and 256kbps. For production work, 44.1kHz WAV at 256kbps is recommended.
- Can I use the generated music commercially?
- Yes. All music generated through our platform is royalty-free and cleared for commercial use — YouTube videos, podcasts, game soundtracks, advertisements, and branded content. No additional licensing required.
- What is the Lyrics Optimizer?
- Lyrics Optimizer is an optional setting in MiniMax Music 2.6 that automatically generates lyrics for you based on your style prompt. When enabled, you don't need to write any lyrics — just describe the sound you want (e.g. "Indie folk, melancholic, rainy night") and the model will compose lyrics that match the mood and genre before generating the full song. This is useful when you have a clear musical direction in mind but don't want to write the words yourself. Note that Lyrics Optimizer only works when the lyrics field is left empty; if you provide your own lyrics, your input takes priority.
