# MiniMax Music Cover

MiniMax Music Cover is MiniMax’s song-to-song transformation model for reimagining an existing track in a new style. It preserves the original vocal melody while changing voice timbre, instrumentation, genre, and arrangement through a text prompt. It supports one-step generation from reference audio or a two-step workflow with preprocessing and optional lyric editing.

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `URL`

Audio output type.

**Allowed values**: `URL` `base64Data` `dataURI`

### [outputFormat](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-outputformat)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `MP3`

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

- \`MP3\`: Compressed audio, smaller file size.

**Allowed values**: `MP3` `WAV` `FLAC`

### [webhookURL](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-webhookurl)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

### [deliveryMethod](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-deliverymethod)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `sync`

Determines how the API delivers task results.

**Allowed values**:

- `sync` Returns complete results directly in the API response.
- `async` Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.

### [uploadEndpoint](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-uploadendpoint)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

**Common use cases:**

- **Cloud storage**: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
- **CDN integration**: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.

```text
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg
```

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.

### [ttl](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-ttl)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `60`

Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when `outputType` is `URL`.

### [includeCost](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-includecost)

- **Type**: `boolean`
- **Default**: `false`

Include task cost in the response.

### [numberResults](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-numberresults)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `1`
- **Max**: `4`
- **Default**: `1`

Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

**Inputs**

Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the \`inputs\` object.

### [audio](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-inputs-audio)

- **Path**: `inputs.audio`
- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true

Audio input (UUID or URL).

**Generation Parameters**

Core parameters for controlling the generated content.

### [model](https://runware.ai/docs/models/minimax-music-cover#request-model)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true
- **Value**: `minimax:music@cover`

Identifier of the model to use for generation.
