For building backing tracks or Songer instrumental-only music.

There are two ways to create an instrumental track, which are Instrumental and Custom Lyrics. The most commonly used method is by using Instrumental tab.

🎶 Instrumental Tab

The Instrumental tab provides a 300-character limit for describing the music you want to create.

Tips for best results:

Focus on instruments, mood, and energy (e.g., “acoustic guitar + soft piano, calm, relaxing”).
Use short, clear phrases instead of full sentences.
Combine genres for unique results (e.g., “jazz + electronic, upbeat, funky bass”).
Try multiple previews with slight variations, then unlock the best one. </aside>

📝 Custom Lyrics tab

The Core Rule

To get a fully instrumental track, the AI must understand:

This track has no vocals. It’s purely instrumental.
That can be done either through the prompt (Instrumental tab) or by section tagging inside your lyrics field (Custom Lyrics tab).

Instrumental Tagging

Minimal

[Instrumental][Piano]

This is enough for a short, vocal-free track.

Think of it as:

First tag = type of section
Second tag = focus instrument/tone

More Descriptive

You can chain more, too:

[Instrumental][Piano][Strings] [Instrumental][Trumpet][Jazz] [Instrumental][Drums][Rock]

The key is to avoid writing prose or full sentences inside brackets.

Keep each tag 1–5 words describing function or instrumentation, or you can expand it to tell the AI what kind of instrumental track it is:

[Instrumental – piano and strings] [Instrumental – upbeat percussion, electric guitar] [Instrumental – cinematic orchestral build]

Instead of leaving it blank, these tags tell the model what textures or moods to build.

Comparison: Simple vs. Descriptive Tags

Style	Example	Works?	Notes
✅ Simple Tag Chain	`[Instrumental][Piano]`	✅ Yes	Ideal for clean structure
✅ Extended Chain	`[Instrumental][Electric Guitar][Drums][Rock]`	✅ Yes	Great for multi-layer guidance
⚠️ Descriptive Sentence	`[Instrumental – soft piano melody and strings]`	✅ Still works, but long descriptions reduce precision
❌ Natural Language	`[Play soft piano intro]`	❌ Not compliant	Uses command phrasing, ignored or clipped
❌ Parentheses	`(Instrumental Piano)`	❌ Not recognized	Must use square brackets

Combine with a Genre + Lyrical Tags

Example 1: Jazz
Type up to 5 genres or vibes field: Jazz, smooth, instrumental, soulful, relaxed
Lyrics field:

[Instrumental – trumpet lead, slow tempo, laid-back groove]

Build Multi-Section Instrumentals

You can guide the structure musically, e.g.:
Type up to 5 genres or vibes field: electronic, dance, instrumental, atmospheric, evolving
Lyrics Field:

[Intro – ambient pads, low bass] [Build – arpeggios evolve, synth layers rise] [Drop – strong kick, full mix energy] [Outro – fade out with pads only]

This gives you an instrumental that feels structured like a song, just without vocals.

Optional meta tags

Tempo: [Tempo 96] (or [BPM 96], [Tempo: 118 BPM])
Key: [Key Dm] / [Key C major] / [Key: D minor]

🌟 How to build your instrumental track from concept to finished

Understand the Two Tag Types

Our AI reads tags horizontally (order matters) and hierarchically (function first, details after).

Tag Type	Function	Example
Section tags	Tells what part of the song this is	`[Intro]`, `[Build]`, `[Main]`, `[Bridge]`, `[Outro]`
Content tags	Tells it what sounds to play	`[Violin]`, `[Drums]`, `[Guitar]`, `[Strings]`, `[Upbeat]`

You stack them like building blocks:

[Intro][Violin][Upbeat] [Main][Violin][Drums][Bass]

Choose Your Core Instrument(s)

If your focus is, e.g., Violin, you tell the AI that explicitly that it’s the lead sound. You can pair it with supporting instruments that define the style.

Mood / Style	Tags You’d Use	Notes
Classical Upbeat	`[Violin][Strings][Orchestra][Percussion]`	Works for film score or chamber feel
Folk / Acoustic	`[Violin][Acoustic Guitar][Bass][Cajon]`	Country or Celtic-style violin groove
Pop / Modern	`[Violin][Synth][Drums][Bass]`	Rhythmic modern “Lindsey Stirling” type
Dance / EDM	`[Violin][Pads][Arpeggios][Beat Drop]`	Electronic violin fusion
World / African	`[Violin][Djembe][Marimba][Rhythmic]`	Adds organic rhythm section

Example Core Tag Set for “Upbeat Violin Instrumental”

Genre:

Upbeat, violin, orchestral, rhythmic

Tags:

[Instrumental] [BPM 120] [Key Dm]  [Intro][Strings][Light Percussion] [Build][Violin][Pizzicato Strings][Bass] [Main][Full Mix][Violin Lead][Drums] [Bridge][Violin][Soft Pads] [Outro][Strings][Fade]

🏷️ How to Know Which Tags to Add

Use this “decision tree” to pick tags for any instrumental:

Question	Add These Tags
What’s my lead sound?	`[Violin]`, `[Piano]`, `[Guitar]`, `[Trumpet]`
Is it slow or fast?	`[BPM 80]` for slow, `[BPM 120+]` for upbeat
What’s the texture?	`[Strings]`, `[Synth]`, `[Pads]`, `[Drums]`
What’s the form?	`[Intro]`, `[Main]`, `[Bridge]`, `[Outro]`
Do I want rhythm emphasis?	`[Percussion]`, `[Bass]`, `[Upbeat]`, `[Driving]`
Is it ambient or energetic?	`[Soft]`, `[Crescendo]`, `[Full Mix]`, `[Fade]`

Tags like [Upbeat], [Driving], [Energetic], or [Rhythmic] are “feel modifiers.” They help interpret pacing and arrangement.
