Suno Melodic techno prompt
Melodic techno in Suno lives at 120–128 BPM, usually around 124. Below is a Styles prompt that passes our Styles checker, the Exclude list that stops v6 drifting toward acoustic guitar, trap hi-hats, pop vocals, a 3:37 arrangement in bars and the cued lyric headers. Copy it, change the mood and the parts you hear differently, paste.
Styles
melodic techno, 124 BPM, hypnotic. Modern dark melodic, cavernous reverb. A sung lead vocal. Dark arpeggiated synth sequence, rolling 16th bass, cavernous pads, a soaring analog lead in the peak; a long breakdown into a slow emotional lift. Arrangement: intro 16 bars, groove 32 bars, break 16 bars, build 8 bars, peak 32 bars, outro 8 bars. Kick and rumble dominate, hats and ride wide, sequence centered and mid-forward, vocal phrase drenched in delay and pushed back. Ends on the outro's last downbeat.
Exclude styles
acoustic guitar, trap hi-hats, pop vocals
Lead tag: open Styles with melodic techno, word for word. It’s the wording Suno’s own tags use, so it carries more weight than a description.
Vocal: sung lead by default. Variety at 0 keeps Suno from rewriting the prompt on a final take.
What makes it Melodic techno
Name the parts, not the vibe.
Suno plays what you name. “Melodic techno vibes” gets you its idea of the average melodic techno track; the parts below are what make the genre itself, so they go in the prompt as instructions to the band.
- dark arpeggiated synth sequence
- rolling 16th bass
- cavernous pads
- a soaring analog lead in the peak
Production colour: modern dark melodic, cavernous reverb. One phrase like this sets the era better than a list of adjectives.
Why the Exclude list matters. v6 leans toward pop and toward whatever the neighbouring genres share. For melodic techno that means acoustic guitar, trap hi-hats and pop vocals creeping in. Put those in Exclude, never as “no …” in Styles: a negative in Styles names the thing and often adds it.
Unlike the rest of its family, melodic techno plays sung chorus, so it stays out of Exclude.
Mix placement beats quality words: “kick and rumble dominate” tells Suno where things sit. “Radio-ready” or “professional” tells it nothing.
Song structure
A 3:37 radio edit at 124 BPM.
| Section | Bars | Starts | What plays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intro | 16 | 0:00 | kick and hats |
| Groove | 32 | 0:31 | bass rumble and main sequence |
| Break | 16 | 1:33 | kick out, atmosphere |
| Build | 8 | 2:04 | filter opens, snare roll |
| Peak | 32 | 2:19 | full energy |
| Outro | 8 | 3:21 | elements strip away |

Lyric headers
[Intro | kick and hats] [Groove | bass rumble and main sequence] [Break | kick out, atmosphere] [Build | filter opens, snare roll] [Peak | full energy] [Outro | elements strip away] [End | clean ending]
Every header carries a direction after the bar, [Section | how it’s performed]. A bare [Verse] leaves the delivery to chance. The last line, [End | clean ending], is what stops the fade-out and the bonus minute of noodling.
Lyrics
Writing words for melodic techno.
Techno vocals are one phrase, used like a synth: 2 to 6 words, spoken or whispered, repeated with processing changes. It should feel like a found transmission or an instruction, concrete and strange, not a slogan.
Melodic techno vocals are 2 to 4 sung or whispered lines, distant and devotional, repeated like a mantra over the arpeggio; long vowels, no chorus build.
Keep verse lines to about 8 syllables and hook lines to about 6. Longer lines get rushed or swallowed; our lyric checker counts them for you.
