Not using the Interpolate feature
Why it happens: Riffusion's style interpolation is its unique advantage. Blending two Techno style prompts produces sounds that no other AI tool can generate.

Fix: Treat Riffusion as a creative discovery tool for Techno. generate 10–15 short clips and pick the best. For consistent quality, use Udio or Stable Audio.
