● Music and sound effects

AI music and sound effects API

Updated · Radiant Crest Inc.

Describe a song and get two versions back, or supply your own lyrics, title and style. A separate endpoint creates sound effects from a text description, from half a second to 30 seconds, including seamless loops.

Who it is for

  • Video and game creators who need background music and effects
  • Apps that generate soundtracks
  • Podcasters who need intros and stingers

How it works

  1. Describe the music (simple mode) or send lyrics and tags (custom mode).
  2. Each music request returns two versions in output.clips.
  3. Sound effects take a prompt and an optional duration_seconds and loop flag.
