Pick a track to hear it and see the prompt behind it.
Build the arrangement
Tell every part of the track what job it has
Start with where the music will be used, then choose the instruments, movement, and amount of attention it should ask for.
02
Choose the instruments
Name the guitar, keys, strings, brass, drums, synths, or acoustic textures you want to hear.
03
Set the pace and movement
Describe slow and spacious, steady and restrained, driving, playful, or built around one short lift.
04
Keep vocals out
Turn on instrumental mode and write no vocals when you want every part of the result carried by instruments.
05
Try another direction
Run the same idea through another model or change the genre blend when the arrangement is right but the sound is not.
06
Save and continue the track
Keep the result in your library, download the available file, or extend it when you need more music.
A useful instrumental brief
Write the prompt around the track’s job
A genre is a starting point. The role, instruments, movement, and limits make the request usable.
Example prompt
“Warm acoustic instrumental with fingerpicked guitar, upright bass, light brush kit, small mandolin answers2, steady 92 BPM feel3, no vocals, no long solo, and a clean ending4.”

How it works
From a short brief to an instrumental track
Write what the music is for, then refine the instrumentation or movement after hearing the first result.
- 1
Describe the instrumental
Name its role, style, instruments, pace, and anything that should stay out of the arrangement.
- 2
Choose a model and generate
Keep instrumental mode on, select an available model, and review the credit cost.
- 3
Listen in context
Play the result where you plan to use it, then simplify or strengthen the one part that does not fit.
Common directions
Start with what the instrumental needs to support
The same guitar, piano, or synth idea can work very differently depending on whether it sits behind a voice or carries the whole piece.
Background music
Use fewer lead parts and even dynamics when another voice, visual, or task should stay in front.
Songwriting demos
Ask for an open arrangement when you plan to write a vocal melody or lyrics over the result.
Videos and podcasts
Describe the pace of the edit or conversation and how much room the track should leave.
Standalone instrumentals
Give the melody and arrangement more movement when the music itself is the main event.

FAQ
Questions about generating instrumental music
Straight answers about vocals, genres, instruments, tempo, downloads, and commercial use.
How do I make sure there are no vocals?
Turn on instrumental mode and add no vocals to the prompt. Describe the instruments that should carry the melody instead.
Can I mix genres in one instrumental?
Yes. Describe the blend and which parts come from each style, such as acoustic guitar and brushes with a subtle electronic pulse.
Can I choose the instruments?
You can name the instruments and the role each should play. The selected model interprets that direction, so listen and adjust if one part is too prominent.
Can I ask for a target tempo?
Yes. Include a BPM or a plain-language pace. Check the finished audio if exact timing matters, because the result may not land on the precise number.
Can I download the track?
Completed tracks are saved to your MusicWave library, where you can play and download the output available for the selected model and plan.
Can I use the instrumental commercially?
That depends on your MusicWave plan, the selected model’s terms, and the rights in anything you supplied. Review those terms before commercial use.
