# Suno Studio 2.0 adds MIDI, an AI chat bar that builds plugins, and stem separation to its browser DAW

Suno upgraded its browser-based generative audio workstation with MIDI recording/editing (MIDI clips can prompt new audio), a beta chat assistant that generates instruments and vocals and builds custom plugins and synth presets, a wavetable synth, better stem separation, effects, automation and unlimited 32-bit/48 kHz multitrack export, for Premier subscribers only.

## Key facts
- Launched 2026-08-13; Studio 1.0 had launched in beta on 2025-09-25
- MIDI clips usable as prompts for new generations; typing-keyboard play with arpeggiator and chord mode
- Beta chat bar can generate instruments/vocals and create new plugins and synth presets
- Unlimited 32-bit/48 kHz multitrack export (vs 20/60 monthly song downloads on Pro/Premier)
- Premier tier only ($24-30/month per MBW)

## What happened

One day after Suno's BMG licensing deal, Suno shipped a major DAW update that blends conventional production tools (MIDI, synth, automation) with generative ones (chat-driven instrument and plugin generation).

## Why it matters

It pushed Suno from a one-shot song generator toward a professional production tool, competing with DAWs rather than only with other generators, while steering heavy exporters to its top tier.
