What is AIVA?
What it is
AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) is a Luxembourg-based AI composer that writes instrumental music, from orchestral and cinematic to pop, ambient and game scores. It's built for editing: you can change tempo, key, instruments and structure, and export MIDI to finish the piece in your own DAW.
Key features
- Generation in 250+ styles, from a preset, a chord progression or an influence you upload
- Influence uploads: give it audio or MIDI and it composes in a similar style
- Piano-roll editor to change notes, instruments and arrangement
- Custom style models you train yourself
- MP3 and MIDI exports on all plans; WAV on Pro
Models inside
AIVA uses its own proprietary composition models and offers no third-party models.
Pricing and rights
Prices are in euros. As of September 2026 the free plan allows 3 downloads a month of tracks up to 3 minutes. It's non-commercial, you must credit AIVA, and AIVA owns the copyright. Standard is €11/month billed yearly (about €15 billed monthly), with 15 downloads, tracks up to 5 minutes and monetisation on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram. AIVA still owns the copyright on Standard. Pro is €33/month billed yearly, with 300 downloads, WAV and tracks up to 5:30. Pro is the only plan where you own the copyright, so it's the one to choose if you want to sell or distribute the music.
Who it is for
Game developers, filmmakers, YouTubers and composers who want editable instrumental scores and MIDI, not finished vocal songs.
Verdict
AIVA is one of the few AI music tools that gives you real MIDI and note-level editing, and its copyright terms are spelled out clearly. The catch is that only the €33 Pro plan gives you ownership. Standard covers platform monetisation only, and there are no vocals.
Pros
- MIDI export and piano-roll editing
- 250+ styles plus custom style models
- Clear copyright terms per plan
- Influence uploads to steer the style
Cons
- You own the copyright only on the €33/month Pro plan
- Free plan requires credit and is non-commercial
- Instrumental only, no vocals
- Prices in EUR; about €15 monthly for Standard (≈$17)
