Introducing References: sound control for Music v2

With References you can upload an existing track to ElevenMusic and Music v2 will generate new tracks that match its style and feel.

Summary

• References lets you upload an existing track so Music v2 can match its style, instrumentation, and feel.
• You can pair a reference track with a text prompt, or let the reference guide the generation on its own.
• Uploads can range from 10 seconds to 5 minutes.
• Every reference track passes a copyright check before generation, so other artists' work can't be used as a reference.

How References works

Upload a reference track, and Music v2 uses it to steer the style, instrumentation, and feel of your generation. It's the same creative control a text prompt gives you, anchored to a real sound rather than something you've described.

It's a new input, not a replacement: pair a reference track with a prompt to combine a specific sound with specific direction, or let the reference do the talking on its own. Uploads can range from 10 seconds to 5 minutes.

Protecting artists

Every reference track is checked before generation for matches to recordings owned by others. Tracks that match can't be used as references. References is designed for music you've made yourself.
