Royalty-free.\"\n---\n# Music Generation - Original Music, Fully Yours\n\nMusic generation — 5 seconds to 10 minutes. Instrumental and vocal tracks with high-quality AI vocals.\n\nGenerated tracks are royalty-free for commercial use per CellCog's terms of service — YouTube, podcasts, apps, games, ads, films, streaming.\n\n## How to Use\n\nUse the CellCog tools from this plugin's connector (`https://cellcog.ai/mcp`). The first time a tool runs, the user signs in with their CellCog account and clicks Approve.\n\n1. `cellcog_chat_create` with the brief as `prompt` (optionally `chat_mode` and `chat_tier`). It returns a chat id at once; the work runs in the background.\n2. Poll `cellcog_get_result` with that `chat_id` about once a minute. While it runs you get progress notes; when `complete` is true you get the final message and file links (valid 30 days), with previews of images and PDF pages.\n3. To iterate, `cellcog_chat_send` into the same chat. For files on the user's computer, open `cellcog_upload` and pass `upload:<upload_id>` in `attachments`; public https links can go in `attachments` directly.\n\nFor files, modes and tiers in depth, read the **cellcog** skill.\n\n---\n\n## Two Ways to Create Music\n\n### Simple Prompt (Use This 99% of the Time)\n\nJust describe what you want. The model handles the rest — genre, arrangement, instrumentation, dynamics, and even lyrics:\n\n> \"Compose a 90-second cinematic score. Start with solo piano, layer in strings at 30 seconds, build to a full orchestral swell, then resolve softly. Mood: bittersweet turning hopeful.\"\n\n> \"Create a 3-minute lo-fi hip-hop track with soft piano, vinyl crackle, and mellow drums. 75 BPM. Study vibes.\"\n\n> \"Write a 2-minute upbeat pop song with female vocals about starting fresh on a Monday morning. Catchy chorus, feel-good energy.\"\n\nThe model is exceptionally sophisticated — it handles any genre, genre fusion, songs with lyrics, complex arrangements, and mood transitions from a simple description.\n\n### Composition Plan (For Precise Timing Control)\n\nOnly use this when you need **exact section durations** — for example, syncing music to specific video segments or presentation slides:\n\n> \"I need music that syncs with my video:\n> - Intro: exactly 10 seconds, soft ambient\n> - Build: exactly 20 seconds, energy rising\n> - Climax: exactly 15 seconds, full orchestra\n> - Outro: exactly 10 seconds, gentle fade\"\n\nThis mode gives precise timing control per section but should only be used when timing accuracy matters for syncing with other media.\n\n---\n\n## What Music You Can Create\n\n### Instrumental\n\n| Type | Example |\n|------|---------|\n| **Cinematic scores** | Epic orchestral, tense thriller, emotional piano, sci-fi ambient |\n| **Background tracks** | Lo-fi beats, corporate background, cafe jazz, ambient soundscapes |\n| **Podcast intros/outros** | 5-10 second branded stings, transitions, bumpers |\n| **Game soundtracks** | Battle themes, exploration music, boss fights, menu themes |\n| **Jingles** | Ad jingles, notification sounds, reveal stingers |\n| **Ambient** | Meditation, nature soundscapes, focus music |\n\n### Vocal Tracks\n\nCellCog generates songs with **perfect AI vocals** — just describe the lyrical theme:\n\n| Type | Example |\n|------|---------|\n| **Pop songs** | Catchy hooks, verse-chorus structure, radio-ready |\n| **Ballads** | Emotional, piano-driven, storytelling |\n| **Hip-hop/Rap** | Rhythmic vocals, beats, flow |\n| **Rock** | Guitar-driven, powerful vocals |\n| **R&B/Soul** | Smooth, melodic, groove |\n\n---\n\n## Specs\n\n| Parameter | Range |\n|-----------|-------|\n| **Duration** | 5 seconds to 10 minutes |\n| **Output** | MP3 (44.1kHz, 128kbps) |\n| **Vocals** | Instrumental or with AI vocals |\n| **Licensing** | Royalty-free per CellCog terms of service |\n\n---\n\n## Choosing Mode & Tier\n\n| Scenario | Recommended |\n|----------|-------------|\n| Songs, jingles, background tracks | `chat_mode=\"agent\"` (defaults to the `\"core\"` tier) |\n| Multi-track projects where cohesion matters | `chat_mode=\"agent\", chat_tier=\"max\"` |\n\n**The core tier is the default and handles most music generation well**, balanced speed and depth. **Upgrade to `chat_tier=\"max\"`** when quality disappoints or the work is genuinely complex: just re-run the same prompt with `chat_tier=\"max\"`.\n\nAgent Team (`chat_mode=\"team\"`) is reserved for deep research — don't use it for music generation.\n\n---\n\n## Example Prompts\n\n**Cinematic score:**\n> \"Compose a 2-minute cinematic score for a nature documentary finale. Begin with solo cello (melancholic), layer in strings and piano at 40 seconds, build to a hopeful orchestral swell, resolve with gentle piano. Think Planet Earth meets Interstellar.\"\n\n**Lo-fi background:**\n> \"Create 5 minutes of lo-fi study beats. Soft piano, mellow drums, vinyl crackle, gentle bass. 75 BPM. Warm and unobtrusive — good for focus.\"\n\n**Podcast intro + outro:**\n> \"Create a podcast intro (8 seconds) and outro (6 seconds). Show is a tech startup podcast. Intro: energetic, modern electronic with a hook. Outro: same vibe but mellower wind-down. Should feel like the same show.\"\n\n**Song with vocals:**\n> \"Write a 3-minute upbeat indie pop song with female vocals. Theme: the excitement of moving to a new city. Catchy chorus, acoustic guitar foundation, builds with drums and synth. Feel-good, sing-along energy.\"\n\n**Game soundtrack:**\n> \"Compose a 2-minute boss battle theme for a fantasy RPG. Intense orchestral with choir, driving percussion, escalating tension. Think Dark Souls meets Final Fantasy.\"\n\n---\n\n## Tips\n\n1. **Describe the feeling, not just the genre**: \"Music that makes a startup pitch feel like the future\" works better than \"electronic music.\"\n\n2. **Specify duration**: \"45 seconds\" vs \"3 minutes\" changes composition structure significantly.\n\n3. **Reference moods, not copyrighted songs**: \"Hans Zimmer-style epic\" and \"ChilledCow lo-fi vibes\" work well. Do not reference specific copyrighted songs.\n\n4. **For vocals**: Set the lyrical theme and mood. The model writes lyrics that fit. Or provide specific lyrics you want sung.\n\n5. **Energy arc matters**: \"Starts quiet, builds at midpoint, resolves softly\" gives clear compositional structure.\n\n6. **For video background music**: If the music is for a CellCog video, mention it in your video prompt instead — CellCog handles music as part of video production automatically.\n"
