Enhanced music creation model for custom songs and remakes of older works
chirp-v4-5-plus is the Suno V4.5+ music creation model, suitable for creating vocal songs and instrumentals from theme descriptions or self-written lyrics. It is designed for creative tasks that require refining lyrics, titles, and styles, and can also be used to remake older songs. Through this platform's music API, you can submit creative content and obtain audio and song information, making it easy to integrate previewing, selection, and delivery into applications.

Core Capabilities
Discover what chirp-v4-5-plus can bring to your work.
From a Single Idea to a Complete Creation
When lyrics are not yet written, use Inspiration Mode to describe the theme, mood, and musical direction; when lyrics already exist, switch to Custom Mode to organize the lyrics, title, and style separately. The two approaches are suited to exploring ideas and realizing specific works respectively, so creation does not always have to rely on a vague prompt.
Make Room for Lyrics and Style
Custom Mode provides separate lyric and style inputs, making it easier to arrange verses, choruses, and bridges, and describe genres, instruments, and moods. Vocal tasks can also specify a preference for male or female voices. For works that need to retain a copy theme while trying different musical expressions, this structure makes comparison and revision easier.
Bring Older Works into the Remastering Process
V4.5+ is suitable not only for generating from scratch, but also for remastering older songs. When an existing song is available, you can start a separate task through remaster, then compare the new audio result with the original. Remastering is suitable for exploring sound presentation and should not be viewed as a guaranteed way to fix all recording issues or precisely preserve every detail.
Use Cases
Start with specific tasks to find where the model can make an impact.
Brand Songs and Event Theme Songs
Organize brand slogans, event themes, and lyrics that must appear into custom inputs, then use a style description to define the musical direction. The deliverables are listenable song audio along with lyrics, titles, and other information, making it suitable to compare creative options first and then have editors select versions appropriate for promotional videos, event openings, or social content.
Video Background Music Proposals
Describe the scene, mood, and intended use of the soundtrack for a video, then set instrumental=true in Inspiration Mode to generate instrumental options. If you need to provide a desired duration, use the custom generation mode with custom=true and use duration as a directional guide; the finished result still needs to be edited according to its actual length. This is suitable for producing soundtrack proposals and preview materials, rather than requiring music to align precisely with every visual cut.
Old Song Remastering and Version Management
Include existing songs in remastering tasks, retaining the original song ID and new result information to create version records that are easy to compare. After the task is complete, the application can present the original and remastered versions for listening, then deliver the selected audio. This is suitable for maintaining a creative catalog and reassessing older material, rather than automatically replacing human mixing judgment.
How to Choose This Model
Choose based on task complexity, input materials, and expected results.
How to Choose Between It and V4.5
V4.5+ and chirp-v4-5 are different model variants. If you are continuing to use the V4.5 creative workflow and want to try an enhanced-quality version or remaster older songs, you can choose V4.5+. Both support custom lyrics and style tasks. It is recommended to compare vocals, arrangements, and thematic expression using the same materials, rather than deciding based solely on the Plus name.
How It Compares with V5
chirp-v5 is another version, not an alias for V4.5+. If you already have V4.5+ works and fixed creative templates, you can continue using it to maintain your workflow; when preparing to switch to V5, first compare them through listening tests using representative lyrics and styles. The key criterion should be whether the work meets your needs; do not automatically treat editing features of other versions as capabilities of this model.

Usage Boundaries
Understand output quality and capability scope before formal use.
The expected duration is not an editing-level constraint. Custom generation can accept duration, but the finished product may be shorter than the target. Refer to the actual returned duration and the listening result. When precise cue timing, a fixed ending, or a specific advertising length is needed, allow time for post-production trimming and arrangement.
Male and female vocal settings express singing preferences; they do not specify a singer or guarantee a fixed vocal tone. After lyrics, style, and vocal preferences are entered together, you still need to listen and confirm the vocal result; do not treat a satisfactory vocal performance in one generation as a promise of consistent results in subsequent works.
The music service includes multiple editing operations, but their applicable scope varies across versions, modes, and operations. When using V4.5+, design tasks around song generation and applicable remastering workflows; do not assume that a single request can complete all multitrack production or advanced editing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about using chirp-v4-5-plus.
Are chirp-v4-5-plus and chirp-v4-5 the same model?
No. chirp-v4-5-plus corresponds to V4.5+, while chirp-v4-5 corresponds to V4.5; you need to specify the model separately when calling it. If you already have a V4.5 template, you can keep the lyrics and style input, compare the actual audio from both versions, and then decide whether to use V4.5+.
I have already written the lyrics. How should I generate?
Select generate and set custom=true, put the lyrics in lyric, and write the title and music direction in title and style respectively. V4.5+ has a lyric limit of 5000 characters and a style limit of 1000 characters; organize the text into sections such as verses and choruses to help express the song structure.
Can I enter only a theme, or generate instrumental music?
You can start with inspiration mode, use custom=false, and describe the theme and music direction in prompt, with a maximum length of 500 characters. For instrumental music, set instrumental. If you already have specific lyrics, custom mode is more suitable, so you do not need to squeeze the lyrics and all requirements into the inspiration prompt.
Can V4.5+ strictly generate a specified length?
You cannot treat the duration parameter as a hard guarantee. For custom generation, duration can be an integer from 10–360 seconds, but it is used to guide creation. After completion, read the duration in the result and listen to it; if it is for a fixed-length video or advertisement, make any necessary edits to the audio.
How do I obtain generated results and use them for old-song remastering?
For generation tasks, you can obtain task_id with async=true and then query it, or set callback_url to receive the result; after completion, save the song ID and audio address. Old-song remastering is a separate remaster task, which should be initiated using existing song information, then compare the new audio with the original before choosing one.
