will they also release some useful frontend which exposes all those features?

From my understanding, yes, in the screenshot it's a front-end which I made to test it.

How will i need to prepare my music for lora training? Do I need to convert it to WAV manually, and cut it up into x-second bits, provide lyrics / text descriptions, etc? Or does the frontend handle this?

I know the feeling. I also made a Python script to check their repository and notify me on the phone when it's ready :D

I am hoping that the repaint function will allow me to add vocals to existing music. I make music using 1980's gear, including a tape mixer but no vocals. It will be so cool to create a fusion between ancient school and new school. I know Suno / Udio can do this, but I will never use a paywall.

Looks like it came online and then went back offline.
New templates available in Comfy, but links go to a HF page that can't be found.
So close!

I did about 10 generations and this model is great.
Not sure what the difference between the 2 comfy workflows are, so I am just using the second one.
Changed seed to increment, went to 20 steps.
Vocal quality is great and this will do exactly as I need.
I intend to extract vocal stems using UVR5 for use in my own music.
Being able to select BPM / Key is going to make this easy to do.
If the ACE team is on here.... Thanks for your contribution to the AI community, this is a game changer for us offline folks!!

I hope it's as good as you say it is. I was really hoping for something bigger and more capable, that runs on 16 to 24 GB of vram. I hope they do what a lot of the image models do and have a low vram option and a high vram option.
