Include 3-5 of these in your Sonauto prompt for more accurate Amapiano output.
Reviewed by Collins Asein. These adjustments consistently improve Amapiano output quality in Sonauto.
"Log drum" is the single most important word. Without it Sonauto gives you generic house music.
Add "South African" before "house" or "deep house" — this context shifts the output significantly.
Amapiano piano is jazzy and loose, not EDM-synth. Use 'jazzy piano' or 'Rhodes piano' in the prompt.
Vocal style: use "vocal chant" or "soulful choir" rather than "singer" for authentic Amapiano feel.
Tempo is critical — 108–116 BPM is the sweet spot. Below 105 it sounds like slow house; above 118 it shifts to Afrohouse.
