AIVA

Trained on 30,000+ classical masterpieces and registered with France's SACEM music society, AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) composes instrumentals the way composers think — in structure, harmony, and MIDI you can edit. Launched in 2016, it offers 250+ style presets across cinematic, classical, electronic, pop, ambient, rock, and jazz. Unlike audio-direct generators, AIVA works in MIDI: export compositions for editing in any DAW (music-making software), adjust structure in the piano roll, or guide generation with reference tracks. The free plan includes 3 downloads per month; Pro grants full copyright ownership.
