Suno is releasing Studio 2.0, an update that moves its generative AI music software closer to a conventional digital audio workstation (DAW) rather than a simple audio editor with AI features. The most notable addition is MIDI support, which Suno describes as its most requested feature and a standard requirement for modern DAWs.
The update does not yet appear to support third-party plugins or VSTs, meaning users are limited to Suno’s proprietary built-in synth. That synth is described as a basic two-oscillator wavetable plugin featuring three envelopes and four LFOs.
Why it matters
Adding MIDI and DAW-style capabilities signals an attempt to position Suno as a more complete production tool rather than a novelty generator, though the lack of external plugin support marks a current limitation.
Who should care
Musicians and producers evaluating AI-assisted music tools may find the new MIDI support relevant, while those relying on third-party instruments should note the absence of VST support.
