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 model separately when calling them. If you already have a V4.5 template, you can keep the lyrics and style inputs, compare the actual audio from both versions, and then decide whether to use V4.5+.
I have already written lyrics. How should I generate?
Select generate and set custom=true, put the lyrics in lyric, and write the title and musical 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 verses, choruses, and other sections to help express the song structure.
Can I enter only a theme, or generate instrumental music?
You can start in inspiration mode, use custom=false, and describe the theme and musical direction in prompt, up to 500 characters. Set instrumental when instrumental music is needed. If you already have clear lyrics, custom mode is more suitable, so there is no 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. The duration for custom generation can be an integer from 10–360 seconds, but it is used to guide creation. After completion, read duration in the result and audition it; if it is used for a fixed-length video or advertisement, make any necessary edits to the audio.
How do I obtain generated results and use them to remaster old songs?
For generation tasks, you can use async=true to obtain task_id and then query it, or set callback_url to receive results; after completion, save the song ID and audio URL. Remastering an old song is a separate remaster task, which should be initiated using existing song information, then choose after comparing the new audio with the original.
