MiniMax Music Cover
Music Cover uses an existing audio recording and a target style. It can extract lyrics automatically or accept features from a separate preprocessing step.

Preprocessing makes lyric edits possible
The one-step route extracts lyrics with ASR. The two-step route returns features and lyrics first, so the caller can edit the lyrics before generation. A feature ID is used instead of submitting raw audio again.MiniMax music access notice and workflows
Treat the source recording as a separate input
Practical guidance. Choose a reference that clearly carries the intended melody and phrasing. Confirm that you have the rights needed for the source and intended output. Compare whether the new style preserves the desired song structure rather than only changing the sound.
