Summary

ElevenLabs has released Music v2 via its ElevenAPI, allowing developers to integrate AI-powered music generation and editing capabilities into their applications. This new version offers improved vocal quality, instrumentation, multilingual output, and programmatic editing features like inpainting.

ElevenLabs has announced the release of Music v2, now accessible through its ElevenAPI, providing developers with advanced tools for AI-driven music creation and modification. This updated version introduces significant enhancements, including the ability to generate musical tracks from text prompts with superior vocals, instrumentation, and arrangement. Developers can also leverage features such as reference-matching existing audio and generating music across multiple languages with improved output quality. A key innovation is programmatic editing via 'Inpainting,' which allows users to selectively regenerate specific sections like a verse or chorus while preserving the rest of the composition. This eliminates the need to restart an entire track for minor adjustments. The technology, developed in collaboration with artists, labels, and publishers, is cleared for broad commercial use without sync fees or clearance delays. Music v2 is already integrated into ElevenMusic and ElevenCreative, and is now available to developers at a tiered pricing structure starting at 15 cents per minute.
