The [model weights](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/ACE-Step-1.5?utm_source=alphasignal) generate 48 kHz stereo songs with optional vocals, giving developers a local alternative to hosted services such as Suno and Udio.\n\nAccording to the [ComfyUI guide](https://docs.comfy.org/tutorials/audio/ace-step/ace-step-v1-5?utm_source=alphasignal), ACE-Step 1.5 can generate a complete song in under two seconds on an Nvidia A100 or under 10 seconds on an RTX 3090. Track length, sampling settings, software versions, and hardware configuration can affect those results.\n\nThe official workflow accepts two primary inputs:\n\n- **Style description:** Genre, instruments, tempo, mood, vocal qualities, and other musical directions.\n- **Lyrics:** Optional text organized with labels such as`[Verse]` and`[Chorus]` . An empty lyrics field produces an instrumental.\n\n## One prompt, two-stage synthesis\n\nACE-Step 1.5 separates composition planning from audio rendering. A language model first derives metadata, captions, song structure, and other conditioning information from the prompt and supplied lyrics. A Diffusion Transformer, or DiT, then converts that plan into a compressed audio representation.\n\nThe stack uses AutoencoderOobleck as its audio variational autoencoder. It maps 48 kHz stereo audio into 64-channel latent data at 25 frames per second, equivalent to one latent time step for every 1,920 audio samples. After diffusion finishes, the autoencoder expands that compact representation into the final waveform.\n\nA fixed Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B text encoder produces 1,024-dimensional embeddings for the prompt. These numerical representations give the planner and diffusion model information about the requested style, structure, and lyrics.\n\n## This story is for Pro members\n\nYou've reached the end of the free preview.
