+## Music: ACE-Step 1.5 (primary, added 2026-10-16)
+- Install: `C:\Users\fight\Projects\ACE-Step-1.5` (v1.5.0, commit ca1e85f, `.venv`). License **MIT** (code + weights): commercial use OK.
+- Models: `acestep-v15-turbo` DiT + `acestep-5Hz-lm-0.6B` (1.7B LM also on disk, unused).
+- Server: scheduled task `ACEStepServer` -> `start_acestep_api.bat` -> Gradio UI + REST API at http://127.0.0.1:7860 (`/health`, `/release_task`, `/query_result`). Log: `acestep_server.log`. Restart: `schtasks /Run /TN ACEStepServer` (~80 s to load). Does not start at boot.
+- Wrapper: `C:\Users\fight\Projects\ACE-Step-1.5\.venv\Scripts\python.exe C:\tts\acestep_music.py --prompt "<tags>, no vocals" --duration 47 [--bpm N --key "D minor" --seed N] --out <path-no-ext>` -> full mp3 + 20 s preview at -18 LUFS.
+- Speed: 22-30 s per 45 s instrumental. VRAM: shares the 3060 with Qwen (1922); peak ~11.7/12 GB during generation (CPU offload on). Don't run it at the same time as Qwen3-TTS/Chatterbox.
+- Test tracks: `C:\video\music\acestep\acestep_business.mp3`, `acestep_political.mp3`.
+- Fallbacks: code-synth `scripts/music/gen.py`/`gen2.py`; ElevenLabs `el_music.py` (optional, paid).
