MiniMax Music 3 identity tournament
A controlled singer-identity comparison across Serj-only and Daron-only MiniMax Music 3
language-model LoRAs. It also compares random 128-frame training windows against continuation
windows while holding the dataset split, instrumental regularisation, optimizer, prompts,
inference seed, and LoRA-strength sweep fixed.
This card cross-links 640 FLAC renders hosted by the four source
repositories. Audio is not duplicated here.

Machine-readable comparison manifest
Singer identity and training-window comparison (640 renders)
Serj-only and Daron-only LoRAs trained with random or continuation windows, each with singer-matched instrumental regularisation.
All renders use a 40-second maximum duration, 30 flow steps, flow CFG 1.7, and seed 20260824. MiniMax Music 3 may end a song before the duration cap.

Show Serj Tankian section tags
[Intro]
Count the teeth in the traffic light
Paint the silence ultraviolet
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
Paper crowns on the factory floor
Everybody wants a little more
Wind-up prophets in a checkout line
Selling borrowed seconds back as time
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Turn the dial, divide the sky
Ask the wires to tell us why
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Wake up the walls, let the ceiling shake
We built a feast from a plastic lake
Hands in the air while the engines stall
Who signed the order to swallow it all?
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
Velvet sirens in the avenue
Paint every warning a pleasant blue
I fed my shadow to the voting machine
It came back polished, quiet, and clean
[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
Softly, softly, count to four
Kick down the arithmetic door
One for the hunger, two for the show
Three for the ones who already know
[Final Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Wake up the walls, let the ceiling shake
We built a feast from a plastic lake
Hands in the air while the engines stall
Who signed the order to swallow it all?
[Outro]
Count the teeth
Kill the light
Carry the silence
Into the night
