Arabic Maqam Song Generator
Name the maqam — Hijaz, Bayati, Rast, Saba, Nahawand, Kurd — and the instruments, and the melody takes on that colour.
Maqam is the melodic language of Arabic music: Hijaz's yearning augmented second, Bayati's warmth, Rast's grandeur, Saba's sorrow. A song's maqam shapes its mood as much as its lyrics.
In Autunes the maqam is a style instruction: name it in the prompt alongside oud, qanun, ney or violin, and the melody and arrangement lean into that colour. It steers the sound; it is not a note-by-note guarantee, so listen and regenerate if a take drifts.

Maqam-flavoured melodies come through when you ask for them, but quarter-tone accuracy is not guaranteed on every take.
