With Instrument Playground, users can explore 100+ instruments, including lesser-known ones like India's veena, China's dizi, and Zimbabwe's mbria.

However, the generated music might not always match the entered instrument's exact sound. For instance, typing "angry tuba" could result in a synthesized pipe organ sound instead of an intense brass solo.

After generating a clip they like, users can further customize their composition by selecting modes like "Ambient," "Beat," and "Pitch" to control various elements of the composition, making it unique.

For a more personalized music piece, an advanced mode offers a sequencer to layer and loop up to four tracks.
