Welcome

Welcome to K.G.Studio Musician Assistant—your AI-powered agent for music composition and arrangement. Harnessing advanced language models, I am here to help you create, arrange, and refine your musical ideas with ease and intelligence.

To get started, you will need to configure an LLM (Large Language Model) Provider in the application settings. Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper setup:

---

Configuring Your LLM Provider

Navigate to Settings ⚙️ → General → LLM Provider. Depending on your chosen provider, you will need to supply the appropriate API Key and, if applicable, a custom base URL (for non-official OpenAI-compatible services such as Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.).

Using the OpenAI GPT Model Series

1. Obtain an OpenAI API Key from OpenAI. You may need to create an account and add a payment method to generate an API Key.
2. In Settings ⚙️ → General → LLM Provider, select OpenAI as your provider.
3. Enter your API Key in OpenAI → Key.
4. Select your preferred model from the OpenAI → Model dropdown. For optimal performance, we recommend gpt-5 or gpt-4o.
5. Optionally, choose whether to enable Flex Mode in OpenAI → Flex Mode. Flex Mode offers discounted pricing, but may result in slower response times.

Using OpenRouter

OpenRouter is a platform that provides unified access to a wide range of language models—including free options—from various providers. This makes it easy to experiment and find the model that best suits your needs.

1. Obtain an API Key from OpenRouter. Registration is required; for paid models, a payment method may also be necessary.
2. In Settings ⚙️ → General → LLM Provider, select OpenAI Compatible as your provider.
3. Enter your API Key in OpenAI Compatible Server → Key.
4. Browse available models on the OpenRouter Models Page. Use the "Prompt Pricing" filter to identify free models.
   Note: Each model provider may have different data retention and privacy policies. Please review these policies before use.
5. Enter your chosen model name in OpenAI Compatible Server → Model. Recommended model series include:
   • Google: gemini-2.5-pro
   • Anthropic: claude-4-sonnet
   • DeepSeek: deepseek-r1 (free: deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528:free)
