EDM Song Prompt

How to Run and Configure Ace-Step 1.5 XL

1. Open the terminal or command prompt, paste the command line to run the interface, and press Enter.
2. Wait for the loading process to complete. If this is your first time, it might take a few minutes.
3. When the local URL (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:7860) appears, hold the 'Control' key and click the link to open the interface in your browser.
4. In the interface, find the settings section and select 'English' from the 'UI Language' menu.
5. Ensure the 'Checkpoint File' points to the 'checkpoints' folder containing the 'Excel Turbo' model.
6. Set 'Device' to 'Auto' so the system detects your GPU automatically.
7. Uncheck or disable the 'Language Model' option to save VRAM and speed up the song generation process.
8. Toggle ON 'Offload to CPU' if the model doesn't fit entirely in your GPU's VRAM (especially if VRAM is under 20GB).
9. Enable 'Int8 Quantization' to reduce memory usage without drastically affecting quality.
10. Click the 'Initialize Service' button to start the service based on your selected settings.

EDM Song Generation Process

1. Navigate to the 'DIT Diffusion' section. If you are using a Turbo model, set the 'Number of Steps' to between 4 and 8 steps only.
2. Go to the 'Generation' tab. In the 'Prompt' box, enter your desired music style (e.g., genre, mood, tempo).
3. In the 'Lyrics' box, enter your song lyrics. Use song structure tag formats like [Verse], [Chorus], and [Bridge] for more organized results.
4. Click on 'Optional Parameters' if you want to manually set the 'Beats Per Minute' (BPM), musical 'Key', or 'Time Signature'.
5. Determine the 'Batch Size' (the number of song variations you want to generate at once).
6. Click the generation button to start producing audio and wait for the results to appear at the bottom.
