Bengaluru-based artificial intelligence startup Beatoven.ai has launched its first in-house AI model for music generation. Called Maestro, the model can create instrumental tracks across multiple genres using text prompts. The company stated that the large language model was trained only on fully licensed datasets, ensuring rights holders are eligible for revenue-sharing. Maestro will be available to paid subscribers of the platform.
In its press announcement, the Indian startup highlighted that Maestro’s unique approach is its exclusive use of licensed content. This allows creators to use the generated music commercially without concerns of plagiarism or copyright violations.
Currently, Maestro produces instrumental tracks from text-based inputs, with sound effects and vocals planned for future updates. Unlike the company’s earlier models, which worked by combining existing samples from partner artists, Maestro is capable of generating music entirely from scratch.
Beatoven.ai’s CEO Mansoor Rahimat Khan shared, “Maestro is trained on 30X the dataset of the previous models, and the AI model can generate instrumental tracks with higher quality and across diverse genres.”
Khan also emphasised that Maestro is designed as a co-creation tool. “We have found that creators and musicians prefer a co-creation tool, from a utility standpoint. Instead of giving them a readymade output, Maestro generates music that complements their creativity and vision for music. We want to enable that.”
Beatoven.ai partnered with Musical AI, a rights management platform that ensures attribution of AI-generated outputs to original datasets, making revenue-sharing transparent. Other partners include Rightsify, Soundtrack Loops, Symphonic Music, Bobby Cole, Vadi Sound, and Pro Sound Effects.
Whenever Maestro’s output uses elements learned from an artist’s sample, the artist will receive a share of the revenue. Khan explained that artists will be paid 30 percent of the revenue generated from their contributions.
Access to Maestro will be provided through a separate subscription priced at 20 dollars, or roughly Rs 1,750 per month. Subscribers can generate unlimited tracks, but downloads are capped at 15 minutes of music per month. In addition, Maestro will be offered as an enterprise solution for music studios and industry professionals.
Beatoven.ai has clarified that its focus is on producing music that does not mimic human vocals, in contrast with competitors like Suno AI, which generate both instrumentals and lifelike vocals.
