AIVA

AIVA is an AI music generation tool built specifically for composing instrumental scores, trained on a large corpus of classical and cinematic composition rather than pop songwriting. Users can generate a track from scratch or steer it with parameters like mood, genre, key, tempo, and instrumentation, then edit the output in AIVA's own MIDI-based editor before exporting stems or a final mix. It runs as both a web app and a downloadable desktop app.

The product is aimed at people who need a functional score without hiring or being a composer: indie filmmakers, game developers, ad agencies, YouTubers, and hobbyist musicians looking for backing tracks. Paid tiers grant commercial usage rights and full copyright ownership of generated tracks, which matters for anyone shipping a game or film that needs cleared music.

What sets AIVA apart from most AI music generators is its focus on instrumental, orchestral-leaning composition rather than vocal pop tracks, and its unusual legal status: AIVA is registered as a composer with SACEM, the French authors' rights society, letting it collect royalties like a human composer. That classical-music pedigree and the SACEM registration have made it a long-running reference point in the AI music space, predating the current wave of generative audio tools like Suno and Udio.
