Music 2.6 | Realistic Voice & TTS API

MiniMax Music 2.6

MiniMax Music 2.6 generates complete songs with vocals and instrumentals from a text prompt and lyrics. Describe the genre, mood, instruments, and tempo — the model composes and sings a full track with your lyrics, with support for structure tags, instrumental-only mode, auto lyrics generation, and configurable audio quality up to 256kbps/44.1kHz.

Why Choose This?

Complete song generation Produces full vocal and instrumental tracks from a single prompt and lyrics input — not just clips or loops.
Structure tag support Use tags like [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], and more in your lyrics to precisely control song arrangement and flow.
Auto lyrics generation Leave the lyrics field empty and the model will generate lyrics automatically from your prompt description.
Instrumental mode Enable is_instrumental to generate a backing track without any vocals — ideal for music beds, soundtracks, and production use.
Configurable audio quality Adjust bitrate (up to 256kbps) and sample rate (up to 44.1kHz) to match your delivery requirements.
Wide genre support Pop, rock, folk, electronic, orchestral, lo-fi, and more — all controllable through your prompt.

Pro Tips

Be specific in your prompt — include genre, BPM, key instruments, vocal style, and production cues like "gentle reverb" or "intimate recording."
Use structure tags in your lyrics to define verse, chorus, and bridge sections for a more polished arrangement.
Leave lyrics empty to let the model auto-generate them from your prompt — great for quick ideation.
Try instrumental mode first to validate the musical feel before committing to a full vocal version.
Higher bitrate and sample rate settings deliver better audio quality for professional delivery.

Notes

Both prompt and lyrics are required fields; leave lyrics empty to trigger auto-generation.
Lyrics length: 10–3000 characters. Prompt length: up to 2000 characters.
Generated audio URLs expire after 24 hours — download your output promptly.

Music 2.6 API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/minimax/music-2.6 with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Music 2.6 below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/minimax/music-2.6" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "bitrate": 256000,
    "sample_rate": 44100,
    "is_instrumental": false
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("minimax/music-2.6", {
        "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
        "bitrate": 256000,
        "sample_rate": 44100,
        "is_instrumental": false
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "minimax/music-2.6",
    {
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "bitrate": 256000,
    "sample_rate": 44100,
    "is_instrumental": false

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Music 2.6 API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Music 2.6 API?

Music 2.6 is a MiniMax model for audio generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax Music 2.6 generates complete songs with vocals and instrumentals from text prompts and lyrics. Supports instrumental-only mode, auto lyrics generation, structure tags for song arrangement, and configurable audio quality. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Music 2.6 API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/minimax/minimax-music-2.6.

How much does Music 2.6 cost per run?

Music 2.6 starts at $0.15 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Music 2.6 accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `bitrate`, `is_instrumental`, `lyrics`, `sample_rate`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/minimax/minimax-music-2.6.

How do I get started with the Music 2.6 API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Music 2.6 outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (MiniMax). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
