What’s new in v6

Current release · September 9, 2026

Suno announced the v6 generation on September 9, 2026 as a family of three music models developed with industry partners. Suno describes the generation as faster, more expressive, and higher quality, with a better grasp of the language and building blocks musicians use. It also says previous models will be retired as the rollout moves Suno onto the v6 generation.

v6

Pro · Premier

Precision & control

The flagship model for creators who already know the direction they want. Suno describes it as reliable, precise, and consistently polished across genres and styles.

v6-wild

Pro · Premier

Exploration & variation

Built for less predictable, more varied results. Use an unexpected version as a source of ideas, then bring the direction back to v6 for refinement.

v6-mini

Everyone

Fast ideation

A faster, more efficient model available to everyone, including free users. Suno positions it as the quick path from an idea to a song.

Access note: Suno’s Release Notes say v6 and v6-wild are available only to paid users, while v6-mini is available to everyone. Suno has not published a complete per-model capability matrix, so the exact workflow available to a given account may differ.

Partnerships & safeguards

Suno names Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe as partners for the v6 generation. Its announcement also describes safeguards that screen uploaded audio and lyrics for unauthorized use and aim to make AI use in music more transparent. It does not list specific catalogs or guarantee that every possible source is cleared for reuse.

How to choose a V6 model

Read the three models as different starting points for the same creative loop, rather than as a simple quality leaderboard. Suno’s positioning is about control, exploration, and speed; your best choice depends on whether the next step is to lock a direction, find a direction, or get a rough idea audible quickly.

Know the target → v6

Use the flagship model when the arrangement, genre, vocal character, or structure is already clear and you want a more controlled result to refine.

Need a surprise → v6-wild

Use the exploratory model when you have a useful seed but want unusual textures, turns, or combinations to react to and develop.

Test an idea → v6-mini

Use the faster model for sketches, references, and early comparisons—especially when you want to hear several directions before committing.

Important context: this is a workflow recommendation based on Suno’s model descriptions, not an independent benchmark. The announcement does not publish a complete matrix of limits, editing access, or output behavior for each model.

What you can do with the v6 family

Suno lists the following v6 capabilities. They turn several edits and source-material experiments into plain-language operations, but the announcement does not map each operation to every model:

  • Edit one section: change a chorus, verse, or other part while keeping the rest of the song you want to retain.
  • Update one lyric: replace a word or line without rebuilding the entire song.
  • Build a mashup: combine elements from multiple songs and describe how the new parts should work together.
  • Sample and build: isolate a moment such as a riff, then use it as the starting point for a new beat.
  • Create from a vibe: begin with a feeling, scene, genre, or mix of inspirations and develop an original direction.
  • Use multimodal input: start from text, audio, an image, or video, including combinations such as a voice memo and a visual idea.

Suggested way to use the family

  1. Sketch quickly: use v6-mini to turn a clear idea or input into a first direction.
  2. Explore alternatives: if your plan includes it, use v6-wild when you want a less predictable branch.
  3. Refine one variable: keep a promising result and use v6 to revise a section or lyric instead of restarting from zero.
  4. Check the source: only use audio, lyrics, images, and video you own or have permission to use before creating or publishing a derivative.

FAQ

What is the difference between Suno v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini?

v6 is the flagship model: reliable, precise, and consistently polished across genres and styles. v6-wild is built for exploration, with less predictable and more varied results. v6-mini is a faster, more efficient model for turning an idea into a song.

Is Suno v6 available on the free plan?

Only v6-mini is available to everyone, including free users. Suno reserves v6 and v6-wild for paid users on the Pro and Premier plans.

What does Suno say about v6 partnerships and safeguards?

Suno names Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe as industry partners for v6. Its announcement also describes safeguards for screening uploaded audio and lyrics for unauthorized use and increasing transparency about AI in music.

What can v6 edit in an existing song?

Plain-language section edits that preserve the rest of the song, single-word lyric changes, mashups that combine parts from different songs, and a sample-and-build flow that isolates a moment and builds a new beat around it.

Can Suno v6 use images or video as input?

Yes. v6 is multimodal: it can create from text, audio, images, and video, and can also start from a described feeling or scene instead of a strict genre prompt.

Can I still use older Suno models?

Suno says it will retire previous models as the v6 generation rolls out. Exact model availability depends on the current Suno interface and your account.
Historical reference · starts here

Earlier Suno feature history

This section begins the historical part of the page. The entries below document releases and workflows that predate V6; they are useful context, not a list of current V6 capabilities. Names, plan access, and availability can change, so verify the linked official pages and the controls in your account before relying on them.

V5.5-era creator identity tools

These capabilities were introduced with v5.5 and are kept here as release history. They should not be read as new V6 features.

Voices

Voices creates a verified profile from a recording of your own voice. Suno compares a spoken verification phrase with the uploaded or recorded vocal source before the profile can be used. Availability now varies by plan, platform, age, and region, so check the current Voices instructions.

Custom Models

Pro and Premier users can create up to three private variants from at least six tracks. Suno requires you to own the rights to every uploaded song. See the Custom Models instructions.

My Taste

Available to all users. My Taste uses listening and creation preferences to personalize the Style text produced by the Magic Wand. You can review or disable it in account settings.

Suno Studio 2.0

Studio 2.0 is Suno’s browser-based generative audio workstation for arranging audio and MIDI on a multitrack timeline. Suno currently lists Studio as a Premier feature.

Key capabilities

  • Audio and MIDI: Import, record, generate, edit, and arrange both clip types on the timeline.
  • Mix and sound design: Use automation, built-in effects, a wavetable synth, musical typing, and MIDI controllers.
  • Chat Bar: Ask Studio to generate parts, make edits, design plugins or synth presets, and explain the project.
  • Export: Export a full song, selected time range, multitracks, or individual stems.

Official: Introducing Suno Studio 2.0

Generative stems

Stem separation is an editing operation on an existing mix. The current product offers three paths with different plan access:

  • Auto Split: separates a mix into 12 standard categories.
  • Split from Mix: isolates one selected instrument or voice and creates a second stem containing the remainder.
  • Advanced Split: lets eligible users choose from nearly 100 instruments for targeted extraction; Suno lists it for Premier subscribers.

Auto Split categories include

Lead Vocals Backing Vox Bass Drums Percussion Synth Pad Guitar FX

Personas and Voices

Personas recall the style and vocal essence of a Suno song for later generations. They can be public or private, and the source song remains attached to the Persona.

Personas vs Voices

Use a Persona when the reusable identity comes from a Suno song. Use Voices when the identity is your own voice and you can complete Suno’s verification flow. A Voice is not permission to imitate another person.

Remix and creation operations

Remix / Edit

Suno uses Remix as an umbrella for operations such as Cover, Extend, Adjust Speed, Use Styles and Lyrics, Crop, and Replace Section. Choose the operation by the part you want to keep and the part you want to change.

Extend

Use Extend to continue a song or replace its ending while preserving an earlier portion of the source. Once the continuation works, Get Whole Song joins it to the retained section.

Add Vocals

Use Add Vocals on an uploaded or generated instrumental when the missing layer is a vocal based on lyrics you provide. Current access depends on the plan and eligible source.

ReMi lyrics model

ReMi is Suno’s optional lyric-generation model in Custom mode. Treat it as a drafting tool: review rhyme, syllable density, meaning, and pronunciation before using the text in a song.

Turn features into habits: choose an operation from the comparisons above, then keep your best Style lines in Suno Prompt Manager.
