AIVA

AIVA AI Music Composer

The composer, not the singer. While other AI music tools chase viral vocals, AIVA has spent a decade mastering the instrumental score — orchestral swells, cinematic tension, ambient atmospheres. Trained on 30,000+ classical masterpieces and registered with France's SACEM music society, it writes music the way composers think: in structure, harmony, and MIDI you can actually edit.

What Is AIVA?

AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) is an AI composition platform launched in 2016, making it one of the oldest AI music tools still evolving. It generates original instrumental compositions across 250+ style presets — cinematic, classical, electronic, pop, ambient, rock, fantasy, jazz — with deep learning trained on classical and contemporary works.

Unlike audio-direct generators, AIVA works in MIDI: export compositions as MIDI for full editing in any DAW, adjust structure and instrumentation in the browser piano roll, or guide generation with reference tracks via the Influence feature. The free plan includes 3 downloads per month; Pro grants full copyright ownership.
