ACE-Step v1.5 XL Base

ACE-Step v1.5 XL Base is the 4B DiT variant of ACE-Step 1.5 for high-quality music generation and editing. It supports text-to-music, cover generation, repaint, extract, lego, and complete workflows, uses 50 inference steps with CFG, and is designed for longer-form audio generation up to 10 minutes with broad multilingual prompt support.

API Options

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

taskType

stringrequiredvalue: audioInference

Identifier for the type of task being performed

taskUUID

stringrequiredUUID v4

UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

outputType

stringdefault: URL

Audio output type.

Allowed values3 values

outputFormat

stringdefault: MP3

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

  • `MP3`: Compressed audio, smaller file size.
  • `WAV`: Uncompressed, high-quality audio.
  • `FLAC`: Lossless compression.
  • `OGG`: Open-source compressed audio format (Vorbis codec).
Allowed values4 values

Audio encoding settings for controlling the bitrate, number of channels, and sample rate of the generated audio. Only applicable for lossy output formats (MP3 and OGG). When using lossless formats (WAV or FLAC), this parameter must not be provided.

The available sample rates and valid bitrate ranges depend on the output format. For OGG, bitrate limits also vary by the number of channels.

MP3 bitrate limits

Bitrate limits for MP3 are the same regardless of mono or stereo.

Lossless formats: When outputFormat is set to WAV or FLAC, the audioSettings parameter is not available since these formats produce uncompressed or lossless audio with no configurable encoding settings.

bitrate

integermin: 8

Audio bitrate in kbps.

audioSettings » channels

channels

integerdefault: 2

Number of audio channels. 1 for mono, 2 for stereo.

Allowed values2 values
audioSettings » sampleRate

sampleRate

integer

Audio sample rate in Hz.

webhookURL

stringURI

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

deliveryMethod

stringdefault: sync

Determines how the API delivers task results.

Allowed values2 values
Returns complete results directly in the API response.
Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.
Learn more1 resource

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

Common use cases:

  • Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
  • CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.

ttl

integermin: 60

Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when outputType is URL.

includeCost

booleandefault: false

Include task cost in the response.

numberResults

integermin: 1max: 4default: 1

Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

Inputs

Input resources for the task (images, audio, etc). These must be nested inside the inputs object.

Audio input (UUID or URL).

Core Parameters

Primary parameters that define the task output.
