AI Song Generator

What is HookGen and the Music Hook Generator?

HookGen is a web app that creates entirely original music using Artificial Intelligence. The Music Hook Generator is the tool within HookGen that lets you generate original song hooks based on parameters such as emotion (e.g., sad or happy) and note complexity (simple or complex). With one click of "Generate New Music Hook," you can produce melodies for different song parts (intro, middle, or outro), which can be played, stopped, or downloaded as a MIDI file. The page notes that the generator currently focuses on piano, with plans to add more instruments in the future.

​

Is HookGen free and are the generated songs royalty-free?

Yes. HookGen is free to use, and the songs it generates are royalty-free, meaning you don’t have to pay royalties or license fees to use them.

​

Can I download and use the MIDI file in my own songs?

Yes. After generating a hook, press the download button to obtain the MIDI file and use it in any DAW (e.g., Ableton, Pro Tools, Logic Pro X). Commercial use is allowed.

​

Can I share a generated song?

Yes. Each generated song has a generated URL you can share with others.

​

How does HookGen use my usage data to improve AI?

HookGen logs usage details to train and improve its AI. This includes how long you listened to a song, which parts you listened to (intro, middle, outro), when you pressed stop or generated again, and which songs were skipped or played. This data feeds back into the neural network to help produce better songs over time.

​

Does HookGen work on mobile?

HookGen is designed for desktop PCs or Macs. It “sort of” works on mobile, but the mobile experience is limited due to small screen size, and the functionality may not be optimal. For the best experience, use HookGen on a desktop.

​

How can I contact HookGen with questions?

You can email web@petercv.com for questions or support.

​

Are there plans for future instrument support beyond piano?

Yes. The site mentions plans to add drums, guitar, bass, strings, and brass instruments by the end of 2019.
