AI Composer

An AI composer writes music you can keep composing: themes, harmony, orchestration. Veena's is free, and it's the composing half of an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the cue and CoProducer writes it as MIDI on separate instrument tracks, from the Violin down to the Contrabass, with every note open in the piano roll.

Composing is a big part of what people come to Veena for. Cinematic is the most-asked genre in typed requests to CoProducer, ahead of pop, house, rock and hip hop.

A composer that hands you the score

An AI music generator gives you a recording: the notes are fused into the audio, and changing the second phrase of the melody means rolling the whole piece again. An AI music composer's job should end somewhere else — at the score, where a wrong note is one click and a better voicing is a decision you get to make.

CoProducer ends there too, then goes one step further: it performs the score. You hear the finished cue straight away on Veena's instruments, and underneath it every part is still MIDI. The Cello line is a Cello line. The String Ensemble chords are chords, each voicing open to change.

Write a cue from a brief

A film cue. The prompt at the bottom of this page — a 32-bar grief theme at 66 BPM in D minor, in 3/4 — comes back as four tracks: a Contrabass pedal on D, String Ensemble harmony swelling through Dm, Bb, F and A, the theme on solo Cello and the same theme an octave higher on Violin from bar 17. The final Bb is left hanging, the way a scene that isn't over should sound. Try next: "give the Viola a countermelody under the Violin in bars 17 to 24", or "end on Dm with an added ninth instead".

A game loop. Ask for "exploration music for a forest level: 100 BPM, G major, 16 bars that loop seamlessly, a Pizzicato Strings ostinato, a Bell Pluck melody over a Warm Pad, no drums". The 16 bars are written to join back onto themselves, and every layer is its own track, so the game's audio team can drop the melody for the menu screen. Try next: "write a tense variation in E minor for when enemies appear". In Veena's own data, 86.2% of new users who ask for game or chiptune music get a first result on day one, as do 80.3% of those who ask for cinematic.

Harmony you can see and change

"Chord progression" is the single most common phrase in first requests to CoProducer, and it's where a lot of composing starts. CoProducer writes the progression as real voicings, not chord labels. Open them in the piano roll and you see exactly which inversion each chord sits in, then change it — or ask: "close up the voicings", "add a suspended fourth before the cadence", "extend the progression to 16 bars with a turnaround".

The rest of the cue is written against those chords as they actually sit on the timeline. A bassline or a countermelody that has to fit the harmony waits for the chords, then reads the notes you kept. Working harmony-first? Start in the chord progression generator and build the cue on top.

Orchestrate by swapping sounds, not rewriting notes

Every sound in Veena can be swapped while the notes stay where they are, so orchestration becomes a series of auditions:

• Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, String Ensemble and Pizzicato Strings.
• Keys: Acoustic Grand Piano, Upright Piano and Electric Piano.
• Pads and textures on Veena's own synth: Warm Pad, String Pad, Glass Pad, Dark Pad for dread and menace, a slow-breathing Drone, and a Riser to build into a hit.

Hear the theme on Cello, then on Viola, then on Electric Piano, without touching a note. Scoring with your own libraries? Through the Veena Bridge helper app, your VST3 and AU instruments play the same parts, and CoProducer knows products such as Kontakt and Omnisphere by name.

Score to picture, hum to theme

Import your cut — MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI or M4V — and it sits on its own track, where you compose against the picture. CoProducer hears the audio in your video clips. When the cue is right, export an MP4 with the score laid in, WAV stems of every instrument for the dub, or one .mid file of every part for your notation software.

No keyboard to hand? Hum the theme into your microphone and CoProducer transcribes it into a MIDI part, then orchestrates it however you ask. Or keep the hummed take as audio and have CoProducer re-voice it as an instrument, the way it turns a voice recording into a synth pad above. You keep the idea; the producer does the typing.

Which AI composer leaves you the rights? (September 2026)

Rival facts are quoted from each company's own pricing page, licence, product page or help centre (23 September 2026).

AIVA's free plan comes with "Copyright owned by AIVA", "No monetization" and credit to AIVA, 3 downloads a month and tracks up to 3 minutes; owning your compositions takes its Pro plan, €33 a month billed annually (AIVA's pricing page, September 2026). Its licence also says that uploading an "influence" gives AIVA "a worldwide, non-exclusive, commercial and transferrable license to train AIVA's AI systems on the Uploaded Influence, in perpetuity" (AIVA's end-user licence agreement, September 2026).

LANDR Composer is, in LANDR's own words, the kind of AI composer that doesn't "generate entire songs": a plugin that starts from "a four-bar loop" inside a DAW you already own, included with "any LANDR Studio subscription" (LANDR's AI Music Composer page, September 2026).

Suno outputs "one audio file containing all music and words". Reaching the notes takes Suno Studio, part of the $30-a-month Premier plan, and on the free tier Suno's help centre says "we retain ownership of the songs you generate" (Suno's help centre and pricing page, September 2026).

Veena writes the whole cue, lets you change any note of it, and leaves the rights with you.
