Direct answer
What is AIVA?
AIVA composes original music in cinematic, ambient, and popular styles, letting you edit compositions and export audio and MIDI with defined licensing.
AIVA generates compositions from style presets or influence uploads and exposes an editor to adjust instruments, structure, and arrangement. It exports audio stems and MIDI, and its plans spell out usage rights, with the top tier granting full ownership. It is aimed at soundtrack work rather than vocal pop.
An editable, composition-first approach with transparent licensing tiers, well suited to soundtracks and games.
