wrote:Yes. Each MIDI file is generated from scratch using your prompt, so your output is unique.

The web version includes some basic built-in sounds for convenience, but we highly recommend using your own virtual instruments for the best experience. The plugin does not include any sounds, so you will need to route the MIDI to your preferred virtual instrument or sampler.
