Vocal or instrumental output
Create songs with vocals based on the prompt, or enable force_instrumental for instrumental-only music.
Duration control
Set the requested music length from 3 seconds to 10 minutes.
Multilingual vocal support
Generate songs with vocals in different languages when specified in the prompt.
Flexible music direction
Describe genre, mood, instruments, arrangement, production style, and vocal character.
MP3 output format control
Choose the MP3 codec, sample rate, and bitrate through output_format.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Music description and optional original lyrics. Include genre, mood, instrumentation, vocal style, language, and production direction. Length: 1–4100 characters. |
| music_length_ms | Yes | Requested duration in milliseconds. Range: 3000–600000, from 3 seconds to 10 minutes. The playground starts at 30000 milliseconds. |

time.sleep(2)Music v2 is a ElevenLabs model for audio generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. ElevenLabs Music v2 Text-to-Music generates songs with vocals or instrumental music from text prompts, with configurable duration and MP3 output for songwriting demos, background music, social content, ads, and creative audio production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-music-v2.
Music v2 starts at $0.75 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `force_instrumental`, `music_length_ms`, `output_format`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-music-v2.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (ElevenLabs). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
