# AI Melody Generator

> An AI melody generator creates a new tune from a description. In Kenerate's Music Studio, choose Instrumental, name the lead instrument (piano, whistle, synth, flute, violin), the mood and the tempo, and ask for it to be simple and catchy — you get an audio track with the melody performed over light backing in about a minute. The studio outputs audio (MP3; WAV/FLAC on Mureka), not MIDI or sheet music. Like a melody? Use Song mode to build a full song with lyrics around it. New accounts get 25 free credits.

## In depth

### Melody basics
Most memorable melodies share a few traits:
- A short motif — three to five notes you can recognise.
- Repetition with variation — repeat it, then change the ending.
- Stepwise motion with a leap — mostly small steps, one jump for emotion.
- A clear rhythm — you can clap it.

### Audio vs MIDI melody generators
Some melody tools output MIDI notes you edit in a DAW; this one outputs finished audio you can listen to straight away and build into a song. If you work in a DAW, transcribe the take you like.
