Evoke Music — 44K Royalty-Free Tracks + AI Compose Mode

"For years, content creators were getting hit with copyright claims for using the wrong track. We didn't want to fix licensing — we wanted to remove it entirely."

Where it came from

From an AI songwriting assistant to a 44K-track royalty-free library.

Amadeus Code launched in Tokyo in 2017 as an AI songwriting assistant — a tool for musicians to brainstorm chord progressions and melodies. In 2019 the same team spun the underlying engine out into Evoke Music: instead of helping you write songs, they had the AI generate finished tracks and bundle them into a royalty-free library aimed at content creators.

The mobile app, Amadeus Topline by Evoke Music, ships three modes in one product. AI Mode is the playful one — tap the screen, the model composes a track. Library Mode opens the 44,000-track catalog with mood/genre search. MIDI Mode exports stems to GarageBand or Logic so producers can finish the idea elsewhere. Adrev partnership covers YouTube monetization, with revenue splits depending on tier.

The trade-offs we'll say out loud. Suno and Udio beat Evoke on raw AI music quality at the bleeding edge. Epidemic Sound beats it on human-composed catalog polish. AI Mode's touch-based compose is fun but less precise than a text-prompt agent. Free tier means a revenue split, not full ownership. And the iOS app is the only mobile build — there's no native Android.

What's inside · six panels

Three modes. One library card. No copyright drama.

Six things Evoke does that most royalty-free libraries and most AI generators don't both ship in one app.

01 · AI Mode

Tap the screen. Music composes.

The screen becomes the keyboard. Each tap nudges the generative model — pitch, tempo, instrumentation. Less prompt-engineering, more sketching. Export the result as audio or as MIDI for further work in your DAW.

02 · Library Mode

44,000 tracks. Mood-searched.

Type the vibe, not the genre. "Coastal," "moody," "corporate but warm" — search by feeling and Evoke surfaces tracks that fit. New compositions added weekly.

03 · MIDI Mode

Stems out to Logic or GarageBand.

Export MIDI from any AI composition or library track. Finish the song in your DAW — pick the instruments, the mix, the master. 1,000+ cover-ready MIDI files included.

06 · Amadeus Code · the engine

Built on the same AI that musicians used to brainstorm songs.

Amadeus Code was an AI songwriting assistant for musicians before Evoke became a catalog. The engine that suggested chord progressions to humans is the same one now composing the 44K-track library. That heritage shows in the music — it follows musical logic, not pure pattern-matching.

How it works · AI Mode walkthrough

The screen is the instrument. Tap. It composes.

Most AI music tools want a paragraph of text. Evoke's AI Mode wants a finger. Open the mode, tap the grid, get a track in seconds.

01Open AI Mode. Pick a starting palette — warm, cinematic, lo-fi, pop. Each palette biases the model toward a genre family.

02Tap the grid. Each tap is a musical decision — note, chord shift, tempo nudge. The model fills the gaps. Hold for sustained tones.

03Preview the track. About 3 seconds and the composition plays back. Tap again to nudge the arrangement, or keep the result.

04Export. Save as MP3, WAV (320 kbps), or MIDI. MIDI opens directly in GarageBand or Logic for further production.

User voices

Three real takes from people who use it weekly.

One mixed review left in on purpose. Every AI music library has one. Read it before you decide.

★★★★★

"I run a vlog channel and I'd been paying for Epidemic Sound. Switched to Evoke and the catalog scratched the same itch for half the cost. The library search by 'mood' words is exactly how I think about a vlog soundtrack."

★★★★★

"The MIDI export is the sleeper feature. I pull a draft out of AI Mode, open it in Logic, and finish the arrangement myself. Suno can't do that. Soundraw can't do that. Bigger studios should be looking at this."

Marco P.

Milan · indie producer

★★★★☆ honest take

"AI Mode is fun but less precise than a Suno text prompt. And the library has range, but the polish is mid — some tracks feel template-y. For a $8/mo background music utility, that's the trade. Just don't expect Hans Zimmer."

Frequently asked

Questions people ask before downloading.

Is Evoke Music actually royalty-free?

Yes — every track in the library and every AI Mode composition is royalty-free for use across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook, podcasts, and ads. The free Creator tier comes with a revenue split (you keep 90% of YouTube ad revenue on videos that use Evoke tracks). Paid tiers (Creator Pro and Business) raise that to 97% and 100% respectively. Adrev partnership runs in the background scanning your uploads so you don't get false copyright strikes.

What are the three modes inside the app?

AI Mode lets you compose by tapping the screen — each tap nudges a generative model toward a finished track in seconds. Library Mode opens the 44,000+ pre-composed catalog with search by mood, genre, and instrument keywords. MIDI Mode gives you 1,000+ cover-ready MIDI files plus the ability to export any composition or library track as MIDI for further work in GarageBand, Logic, or any standard DAW.

How does Evoke compare to Suno or Udio?

Honest answer: Suno and Udio win on raw AI music quality at the cutting edge — they generate longer, more polished, more genre-consistent tracks from text prompts. Evoke wins on two things Suno and Udio don't ship at all: a pre-composed 44K-track royalty-free library, and MIDI export to your DAW. If you want one track in five seconds for a YouTube short and don't care about polish, Suno's better. If you want a library you can browse plus a tap-to-sketch mode plus DAW-friendly exports, Evoke fits.

How much does it cost?

The Creator tier is free and stays free — it gives unlimited downloads with a 90/10 YouTube revenue split. Paid tiers start around $8–9/month (Creator Pro, 97% revenue share) and scale up to $99/month (Business, 100% revenue share, designed for agencies and brands). Pricing has shifted over the years, so confirm the current tier structure in the in-app store rather than relying on a blog post.

Is there an Android app?

The dedicated mobile app (Amadeus Topline by Evoke Music) is iOS-only as of the most recent update — version 8.1, refreshed April 2026. Android users can use the Evoke Music web app at evokemusic.ai, which covers the Library and core MIDI workflows but not the touch-based AI Mode experience. A native Android build hasn't been announced.

Can I use Evoke tracks in client work?

Yes, on paid tiers. The Creator Pro tier ($9/mo range) covers personal commercial work and YouTube monetization at 97%. The Business tier ($99/mo) is built for agency client work and includes full commercial use across broadcast, VOD, physical media, plus API access for embedded use cases. The free Creator tier is best for personal channels and side projects.

Who's behind Evoke Music?

Amadeus Code Inc., a Tokyo-based AI music company. They launched the Amadeus Code AI songwriting assistant in 2017, then spun the engine into Evoke Music as a royalty-free catalog in 2019. The mobile app (originally called Amadeus Topline) was renamed and folded into the Evoke Music brand in 2024. The team's been shipping AI music longer than most of the current generative-audio wave.

How long are the tracks?

Library tracks typically run 1:30 to 4:00 with the median around 2:30 — sized for short-form video, vlogs, and ad cuts. AI Mode compositions are typically 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on how much input you tap into the grid. Both formats are royalty-free regardless of length.
