About DARK mode
Take the DARK hardstyle mode and override any of the 14 customisable dimensions with your own free-text. The base DARK prompt below already passes through GENPROMPT's quality scoring (avg PREMIUM tier across the 18-field canonical contract); your overrides surgically replace the values you care about while everything else keeps the curated pool depth.
DARK mode is raw dark hardstyle — distorted reverse bass, screech leads, sub-150 BPM tension. It belongs to the Hardstyle universe (Hardstyle · gregorian · viking · raw hard dance).
The 14 customisable dimensions
Each row below names one of the canonical dimensions you can override with your own free-text. The tip suggests the kind of descriptor Suno responds well to. Combine 3-7 overrides per prompt for best results.
| Dimension | Tip |
|---|---|
| KICK | Describe the low end character — sub omega, deep round belly, distorted hardstyle, dembow snap. |
| BASS | Bass texture and movement — reese saw, sub 808 sliding, log drum, growl, tribal pulse. |
| MELODY | Lead instrument and motif — tritone stab, gregorian organ, kalimba line, sitar pad. |
| VOCALS | Voice character — male autotune intimate, female lead silky, chant hook, talking-drum call. |
| PERCUSSION | Texture layer — tamborzão, atabaque, hi-hat triplets, bed squeaks, clave shakers. |
| SWING | Groove tightness — quantised pocket, swung 16ths, syncopated push, militant tight. |
| STRUCTURE | Energy curve — no intro full energy, slow build to drop, hook-loop-hook, breakdown midway. |
| TEXTURE | Sonic grain — lo-fi vinyl, glassy hi-fi, warm tape, raw underground, polished commercial. |
| ATMOSPHERE | Spatial mood — cathedral reverb, dry studio, foggy nightclub, open festival arena. |

- Use 25-40 char descriptors — anything longer is auto-truncated to keep the prompt under Suno's 1000-char budget.
- Pin the fields you love with the 📌 LOCK button (Pro) so RE-ROLL preserves them across iterations.
- Combine with HYBRID in the WORKBENCH to override fields ON TOP of a 2-mode blend — maximum custom control.
