It produces music and sound effects from text prompts or from audio you supply, and version 2 extended output to full tracks of up to three minutes with clear musical structure and stereo output at standard audio resolution. Audio-to-audio conversion and style reshaping are included, and an open weights release exists for local experimentation.
