🎯 Simple mode keeps your genre

Describing a song in Russian (or any non-English language) used to come out as lo-fi hip-hop or pop with rap. The reason: ACE-Step's music model only understands English captions, and its language model retold the description in its own words. AceDeck 1.0.2 fixes that:

  • Engine hears preview: genres, instruments, mood, vocals and tempo are translated into a short English caption right under the prompt, so you see exactly what the engine gets.
  • Exact style toggle (on by default): the music model follows your description, and the language model only writes the lyrics. In A/B tests this kept the requested genre 3/3 times; with LM thinking it drifted.
  • The LM no longer rewrites your caption before rendering.
  • Tempo comes from your words: «медленный» → 70 BPM, or write an explicit 84 bpm.
  • Instrumental-only genres (ambient, dark jazz, film score…) render as instrumentals unless you mention vocals.
  • The same logic now covers Write with AI, Russian captions in Custom mode, the automation API and the Claude MCP tools.

🔄 Updates inside the app

Settings → Updates checks GitHub Releases on start and every 6 hours, then:

  • shows what's new;
  • downloads the update with a progress bar;
  • restarts into the new version.

A badge in the sidebar tells you when an update is ready.

  • Installer build: silent per-user install with a differential download.
  • Portable build: downloads the new .exe next to itself, starts it and moves the old one to the Recycle Bin.

🖥 Desktop shortcut

  • The installer always creates the AceDeck icon on the desktop.
  • The portable build creates one on first run.
  • Settings has a Create desktop shortcut button.

Coming from 1.0.0 / 1.0.1? Those versions have no updater, so install this one manually once (download AceDeck-Setup-1.0.2.exe below). Every later version arrives inside the app.

File What
AceDeck-Setup-1.0.2.exe Installer (recommended, auto-updates)
AceDeck-Portable-1.0.2.exe Portable, no install
latest.yml, *.blockmap Used by the in-app updater
