Generative-music platform that settled copyright suits with Universal and Warner in late 2025 and is transitioning to a fully licensed relaunch. Since the settlement, downloads of generated audio are disabled: paying users can generate, stream and edit only inside the platform.

First move
Prompt one idea, mine it for arrangement moves, then recreate it by hand in your DAW.
Watch out
Downloads have been disabled since the UMG settlement — don't subscribe expecting export until the licensed relaunch actually restores it.
