# MiniMax Music 3: open-weights songs from your lyrics on Mage

> MiniMax Music 3 is MiniMax's open-weights song model on Mage: complete songs up to 5 minutes that sing your own lyrics, or instrumentals, with LoRAs.

MiniMax Music 3 is MiniMax's open-weights music model. You write the lyrics and describe the music, and it performs a complete song up to five minutes long: verses, choruses, a bridge, expressive vocals, and an arrangement that develops from the intro to the outro. It also makes instrumentals. Mage runs it on its own GPUs and returns a 44.1 kHz stereo MP3. It takes MiniMax Music 3 LoRAs.

## Best for

* Full songs that sing your own lyrics, word for word
* Song structure in the order you tag it: verses, choruses, bridges, solos, outros
* Arrangements that build, with instruments entering and dropping out by section
* Instrumental tracks and scores
* Songs in English and Mandarin Chinese

## Writing prompts

MiniMax Music 3 takes two inputs. The **prompt** describes the music: the genre and subgenre, the tempo in BPM, the key, the mood and how it builds, the singer, and what the instruments do in each section. **Lyrics**, on the Advanced page, holds the words to sing.

Put each section tag (`[intro]`, `[verse]`, `[pre-chorus]`, `[chorus]`, `[bridge]`, `[instrumental]`, `[solo]`, `[outro]`) alone on its own line, with the sung lines below it. Words on the same line as a tag are dropped. Always describe the singer, such as "warm female lead, breathy in the verses, soaring in the chorus", or the song can come out instrumental.

**Length** is a limit, not a target: the model ends the song when the lyrics and the arrangement are done, and stops at the limit even mid-line. A verse and a chorus fill about a minute. See the [prompting guide](https://www.mage.space/models/minimax-music-3/prompting-guide) for templates and examples.

## Example prompt and lyrics to start from

The prompt:

```text theme={null}
Indie folk pop ballad, 84 BPM, G major. Tender and hopeful, opening hushed and swelling into a wide, glowing final chorus. Vocals: warm female lead, close and breathy in the verses, opening up with soft stacked harmonies in the chorus. Arrangement: fingerpicked acoustic guitar and felt piano carry the verses; cello and brushed drums enter at the first chorus; a gentle string swell lifts the last chorus, then the song falls back to guitar alone.
```

The lyrics:

```text theme={null}
[verse]
We wrote our wishes on paper lanterns
Down by the river when the night was new
[chorus]
So let them rise, let them rise
Little fires in a velvet sky
[outro]
I will light the way
```

## Using LoRAs

Pick a MiniMax Music 3 LoRA under **Model → LoRA**, or bring your own on the [Import](https://www.mage.space/import) page by choosing MiniMax Music 3 as its model. LoRAs import from Hugging Face or CivitAI; checkpoints do not. See [LoRAs](https://docs.mage.space/features/loras.md) for how weights and stacking work.

## Limitations

* It sings the lyrics you write; it does not write lyrics for you. For a song whose lyrics the model writes, use [Eleven Music](https://docs.mage.space/models/eleven-music.md).
* No audio references: it cannot copy a voice, a melody, or a recording.
* Tempo, key, and structure are followed as guidance, not exactly.
* English and Mandarin Chinese are the languages MiniMax demonstrates; others are untested.

## Use via API

MiniMax Music 3 is available through the [Mage API](https://docs.mage.space/api/overview.md) as the `minimax_music` architecture, with the words to sing in `lyrics`. Its fields, tokens, defaults, and price are on [its API reference page](https://docs.mage.space/api/models/minimax_music.md).
