What is AIVA?

AIVA is an AI composer trained on centuries of classical music, built for generating original scores rather than pop songs. Pick a style preset — cinematic, orchestral, jazz, electronic and more — set the mood, duration and instrumentation, then edit the result in a built-in piano-roll editor. Because it outputs an editable composition, musicians can refine every note before rendering the final audio.

Film students, game developers and advertisers use AIVA for trailers, cut-scenes and background cues where licensing real orchestral music would be expensive. The free plan is fine for personal experiments, but copyright ownership of the music only comes with the Pro tier. AIVA shines at emotive, structured composition; it is not the tool for vocals, lyrics or chart-style pop production.
