v3.4.0 - ACE Step Audio v1.5 XL

The ACE Step Audio v1.5 XL pipeline introduces advanced, high-fidelity text-to-music generation directly into the application. Leveraging an expanded "XL" model architecture, it significantly improves structural coherence, produces cleaner instrumentation, and adheres more accurately to complex genre prompts or lyrics. This upgrade allows creators to generate complete, professional-grade musical tracks from simple text inputs, serving as a powerful local engine for independent audio production.

New Features

  1. ACE Step Audio v1.5 XL (Text-to-Music)
  2. VideoEditor Audio Support

Device Compatibility

This new engine leverages a python based compute backend. Please note the following hardware requirements for this dev release:

  • NVIDIA: Supports all CUDA compatible devices (CUDA 12.8).
  • AMD: Supports Radeon 7000 GPUs (ROCm 7.2.1).
  • Intel: Not Supported.
  • Legacy Hardware: If you are using an incompatible device or older AMD hardware, it is highly recommended to stay on v3.2.0 until broader support is ported to the new engine.

Developers Note

Only install this version if you are interested in testing development builds. As I am a solo developer with very limited testing resources and only a few devices, things may not work, and features may be missing. Each dev build may require re-installs and other manual processes. Please only install if this is okay; otherwise, wait until a stable release is ready.
