Built for controlled music generation, score-to-song workflows, and editable vocal production
SeedMusic is ByteDance's unified music model family from the Doubao Seed team, officially released in September 2024. It combines language-model and diffusion strengths to support both music generation and post-production editing.
Generation mode
Create vocal music from lyrics, style descriptors, audio references, musical scores, or voice prompts with fine-grained style control.
Editing mode
Edit lyrics, melodies, and timbres directly in generated audio for post-production workflows that need interpretable control.
Core Direction
SeedMusic leans into musician-friendly creative control
The Seed team built a unified framework on audio tokens, symbolic music tokens, and vocoder latents. That lets SeedMusic support both expressive generation and editable music workflows for beginners and professional musicians.
Controllable generation
Generate vocal music from style descriptions, references, scores, and voice prompts with stronger control over musical attributes.
Score-to-song conversion
Turn symbolic musical input into full vocal and instrumental mixes instead of starting from text alone.
Editable vocal production
Adjust lyrics and melodies in generated audio with note-level editing tools designed for real musician workflows.
