Create an instrumentalShape an instrumental around your project
Instrument-focused prompts
Call out piano, guitar, strings, synths, percussion, or another palette important to the track.
Made for practical workflows
Generate backing music for vocals, videos, podcasts, games, demos, and creative experiments.
Generate music without a lead vocal
Instrumental music leaves space for a singer, narrator, dialogue, or visual story. With Sonus, you can describe the role the music should play instead of searching through a library of tracks made for unrelated projects.
Prompts can specify genre, mood, energy, tempo, instruments, and scene. The result is an instrumental direction shaped around the combination of details you provide.
Write prompts for better instrumentals
Begin with the intended use and emotional arc. Then mention the leading instruments, rhythm, energy level, and any sounds you want the arrangement to avoid.
A prompt such as “restrained cinematic underscore for a technology documentary, warm analog synth, soft piano, gradual build, no vocals” gives more useful direction than a single genre label.
