How to Set Tempo or Key

Learn how to select a tempo or key for your songs.

Updated over a month ago

Overview

You can tell Songer what key or tempo you want your track in. The trick is to include it clearly in both the "Type up to 5 genres or vibes" field and as an instructional tag in the lyrics field, and to place it up front so the model prioritizes it. This isn't 100% guaranteed and may take a few attempts.

Steps to Set Tempo or Key

  1. Include the key or tempo in the lyrics field as an instructional marker at the start of your prompt. This is the most consistent way to get Songer to respect your choice.

    1. Example 1: [Intro][Tempo: 68 BPM][Key: F major]

    2. Example 2: [Intro][Acoustic Guitar Picking][Soft Strings Pad][Tempo: 78 BPM][4/4 Time]

  2. Reinforce the key or tempo in the "Type up to 5 genres or vibes" field.

    1. Example 1: Slow jazz ballad in F major, trumpet lead, lush strings, mellow orchestral tone

    2. Example 2: Soulful acoustic ballad, warm guitar, soft vocals, intimate, heartfelt

Just a heads-up: Dedicated tempo and key controls are planned for the future.
