Today, we are pleased to announce that MiniMax Music 2.5 has officially launched its instrumental music creation capability. MiniMax Music has always centered on song generation. Today, we are extending our capabilities to a more essential form of music — instrumental music. No vocals needed; the music itself becomes the expression.

Unlock All Styles

MiniMax Music supports diverse generation styles including classical orchestration, minimalism, modern electronic, ambient sounds, and natural soundscapes. It covers the full spectrum from quiet atmospheres to powerful, high-energy tracks, adapting to meditation, sleep aids, advertising, game scoring and other scenarios. MiniMax Music model can handle the complete complexity from "pure natural sound without instruments" to "multi-track instrumental arrangements," with style switching requiring no additional tuning—generate and use immediately.

🎵 Sleep Aid Music

Prompt:A lullaby featuring music box as the primary timbre, with an extremely slow tempo, gentle melody, suitable for falling asleep late at night.

🎵 Meditation

Prompt: Create extremely serene, extremely slow-paced meditation music. The background features soft, water-like flowing synth ambient pads, decorated with crisp Tibetan singing bowls and minimalist xylophone taps. The overall atmosphere is ethereal and deep, as if standing on a temple above the clouds, with no heavy percussion, designed to help listeners achieve deep inner peace.

🎵 Natural Soundscape

Prompt:A healing late-night rainstorm, the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the roof and leaves, distant low and gentle thunder, minimalist, white noise.

🎵 Advertising / Brand Video Intro

Prompt:A minimalist, tech-inspired brand intro track centered on pulsing synthesizers, precise and restrained in tone.

🎵 Game Music

Prompt: Electric guitar-driven uplifting melody, adding passion to adventure and combat.

The instrumental music capability also enables MiniMax Music to serve film and TV scoring directly. Films, short drama, documentaries, and TV series each have different scoring requirements. The model generates complete soundtracks matching narrative rhythm based on scene descriptions, covering various emotional types and atmospheric needs.

🎵 Film scoring

Prompt: A minimalist cinematic score driven by pulsing synthesizers, with tight and precise rhythms.

Cross-Genre Fusion, Unleash Imagination

Beyond existing styles, MiniMax Music has strong style generalization capabilities, supporting cross-style tag combinations for generation.

Whether traditional instruments with modern electronic, or Eastern timbres with Western structures, the model can understand the tension between different styles and transform them into coherent musical language, rather than simple element collage.

This fusion is built on solid musicality—rich harmonic layers, complete melodic progression with proper beginning, development, transition and conclusion logic, natural transitions from motif development to climax release. The more cross-style the work, the more it demonstrates the model's deep understanding of musical structure. In terms of audio quality, the sound field has distinct three-frequency separation, clear instrument separation with dynamic balance, each track has independent spatial positioning, ensuring professional production standards across different styles.

It is worth mentioning that MiniMax Music's understanding and reproduction of traditional Chinese musical instruments is at an industry-leading level. MiniMax Music can accurately present the tonal expressiveness and performance details of ethnic instruments such as flute, pipa, and guzheng, naturally integrating them into orchestral arrangements and modern production contexts.

🎵 Epic orchestral music

Prompt:Epic cinematic East Asian fusion, 136BPM, virtuosic Chinese bamboo flute (Dizi) leading a powerful orchestra. Intense Taiko drum beats, martial arts atmosphere, heroic and urgent. Dramatic shifts between fierce action and lyrical reflection. High energy, triumphant climax.

🎵 Baroque Metal — Baroque × Hardcore Heavy Metal

Prompt: A gorgeous auditory metamorphosis. Crisp, rigorous Baroque harpsichord polyphonic melody, suddenly invaded by violent blast beats and heavily distorted heavy metal guitars. Complex classical harmonics perfectly fused with modern metal's aggressiveness, creating a grand and chaotic opera-style metal listening experience.

🎵 Chinese Style × Fantasy Epic

Prompt: A Chinese-style pure music depicting an adventure in a vast fantasy world. The music atmosphere is hopeful, led by a retro cello solo melody, accompanied by rhythmic percussion. Overall dynamic range is wide, creating a rich sense of layering.
