# Generator Inputs and Style Tags

Every control the AI Music Generator form actually has — the prompt and custom modes, the style tag groups, the sliders and the voice choice — sourced from the form schema, not from marketing copy.

This page lists what the AI Music Generator form takes, read from the form schema that renders it. If a control is not on this page, the generator does not have it. A test pins the list to the schema.

## The twelve controls

| Control             | What it does                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| model               | Which model version runs the generation — seven options, from V3.5 to V5.5. The version sets the credit cost and the prompt length allowed.                   |
| instrumental        | A switch. On, the track comes back with no vocals.                                                                                                            |
| prompt              | In prompt mode, a description of the track, with a Get Inspired fill and the four style-tag groups as quick-add chips. In custom mode, the lyrics themselves. |
| title               | A name for the track in custom mode.                                                                                                                          |
| style               | Genre, mood, tempo and voice tags, typed or picked from the tag groups below, with a Get Inspired fill of a complete tag line.                                |
| negativeTags        | Styles to steer away from, in both prompt mode and custom mode.                                                                                               |
| vocalGender         | Random, male or female vocal. Custom mode only — the provider applies vocal gender only in custom mode.                                                       |
| styleWeight         | How strongly the style tags steer the result, 0 to 1, in both prompt mode and custom mode.                                                                    |
| weirdnessConstraint | How far the result may drift from the expected form, 0 to 1, in both prompt mode and custom mode.                                                             |
| audioWeight         | How strongly a reference track steers the result, 0 to 1, in both prompt mode and custom mode.                                                                |
| personaId           | A saved voice persona to sing with. Custom mode only — the provider offers personas only when custom mode is enabled.                                         |
| personaModel        | The model version a persona was made for. Custom mode only.                                                                                                   |

Prompt mode uses `prompt` plus the exclude-styles box and the three weight sliders — a chip clicked under the description appends that tag to the description rather than filling a separate field; custom mode uses `prompt` as lyrics plus `title` and `style`, the same exclude box and sliders, and the vocal-gender and persona controls. There is no upload control on this form: a reference track is chosen from your library, not uploaded here.

## Style tags

The `style` field offers 69 tags in four groups, and a generator page without a studio profile shows those four groups. A genre page with a studio profile (the catalogue in `music-studio-profiles.ts` — hip hop, techno and ambient shipped first) replaces them with its own chip rows, adds a preset row that fills the whole tag line in one click, and adds tempo, key and texture controls. In prompt mode the same groups sit under the description as quick-add chips.

| Group  | Tags |
| ------ | ---- |
| genre  | 29   |
| moods  | 18   |
| tempos | 11   |
| voices | 11   |

Naming a tempo in beats per minute in the prompt is more reliable than naming a style that implies one.

## What the controls cannot do

The sliders steer; they do not guarantee. A high `styleWeight` narrows the result towards the tags, and a reference track with a high `audioWeight` narrows it towards that recording — neither produces a finished master. Mastering is a separate tool, and commercial-use rights are not granted by any control (see [Commercial rights availability](https://aimusicis.com/license)).
