What is AIVA?

AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) is an AI-powered music composition assistant designed to create custom instrumental tracks for soundtracks, games, films, and commercial media. Utilizing deep learning algorithms, AIVA composes harmonic structures, melodies, and orchestrations across diverse genres such as Cinematic, Classical, Pop, Rock, and Electronic.

The platform empowers both experienced music producers and content creators who require high-quality background music without extensive manual scoring. Users can generate compositions from scratch, upload custom MIDI influences to guide the AI, or select predefined orchestration styles. An in-app editor provides full control over note sequencing and instrument arrangement.

A major strength of AIVA is its ability to export tracks as multi-track MIDI or high-definition audio formats (WAV/MP3). This seamless export workflow allows producers to import generated compositions directly into Digital Audio Workstations like Logic Pro, Ableton, or Cubase for final mixing.

Core features & strengths

  • Preset & Style Generation — Users can generate tracks based on dozens of curated emotional styles and genres in seconds. Custom settings for time signature, key, and tempo provide exact creative control.
  • MIDI Import & Custom Profiles — By uploading original MIDI tracks, users can influence AIVA's composition engine to create variations or extensions of existing themes, ensuring musical consistency across projects.
  • In-Browser Piano Roll Editor — An integrated editor enables users to modify individual notes, adjust dynamics, change instruments, and export stems as audio or MIDI files for external processing.

Who is this tool for?

Game developers, film scoring professionals, content creators, and music producers seeking rapid instrumental composition and MIDI generation.

Typical use case

An indie game developer requires dynamic background music for an upcoming fantasy video game. They select the 'Cinematic Orchestral' preset in AIVA, define the track length, and generate several audio variations. After refining the best composition in the built-in piano roll editor, they export the individual stems as MIDI files to trigger dynamic instrument changes directly within their game engine.
