What acestep does

This skill runs tools/music_gen.py with ACE-Step 1.5 on RunPod serverless. It can create instrumental tracks or songs with lyrics from a text prompt, while --bpm, --key, and --seed control tempo, key, and repeatable output.

It includes scene presets such as corporate-bg, tension, cta, and lofi. The skill can also reshape a reference file with --cover or split a mixed file into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and other parts.

Generation requires RUNPOD_API_KEY and RUNPOD_ACESTEP_ENDPOINT_ID in .env; --setup creates the endpoint. Without those variables, generation will not run, so set up RunPod before asking the agent for audio.

What it helps with

  • generate a background track from a text prompt
  • create a vocal song with supplied lyrics
  • choose a preset for a tense scene
  • transfer the style of reference audio
  • separate vocals or drums from a mix

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create a background track with `acestep` and save it as `bg.mp3`.
  • Generate a vocal song with lyrics using `acestep`, with a chosen tempo and key.
  • Extract vocals from `mixed.mp3` into `vocals.mp3` with `acestep`.
