Summary
It’s not the “push button; get song” of Suno, but Roland’s new Melody Flip tool marks the company’s foray into generative AI music. Unlike Suno or Udio, Melody Flip doesn’t spit out fully polished songs with vocals and full arrangements. Though the genre options are pretty fine-grained, going from standard fare like “80s disco” and “90s R&B” to esoteric things like “Kawaii Future Bass” and “Anime World.” This content isn't visible due to your cookie preferences. The sound selection is further proof that you’re not supposed to use Melody Flip outputs out of the box.
