Suno lets Pro and Premier users start songs from MIDI files

Archive entry: this covers an event from November 4, 2026, and we published it on November 8, 2026. The details come from sources dated at the time and may have changed since.

On November 4, 2026, Suno added MIDI files as a starting point for songs on its Create page, alongside text prompts and uploaded audio, and announced the feature in its Start Songs with MIDI post on the Suno blog.

What Suno added

• Users could drag and drop any .mid or .midi file onto the prompt on the Create page, or choose MIDI from the + menu.
• They described in everyday language the role the file should play: Suno could play the notes literally, develop the top melody into new material, or perform it on different instruments.
• Suno said MIDI conveys exact note and timing information, unlike Remix and Cover, which adapt uploaded WAV or MP3 audio.
• The post gave this example prompt: Arrange this MIDI for a full orchestra, with strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion.

What it means for people who build with AI

Musicians who export MIDI from a DAW or notation tool could feed exact notes and timing into Suno instead of relying on a text description or an audio reference. Remix and Cover adapted uploaded WAV or MP3 audio, so MIDI added a way to start from the notes themselves.

Availability and plans

The feature was available to all Pro and Premier subscribers. At launch, MIDI used Simple Create mode with v6-wild. Suno said it planned to expand MIDI capabilities over time and gave no timeline.
