Experimental Studio UI

ACE-Step includes an optional, experimental HTML-based Studio UI for users who want a more structured, DAW-like interface.

This UI:

• Is frontend-only
• Talks to the same REST API (/release_task, /query_result)
• Does not change model behavior

How to use

1. Start the ACE-Step API server (e.g. uv run acestep --enable-api --port 8001 or your usual API launch command).
2. Open ui/studio.html in a browser (double-click or file:///path/to/ACE-Step-1.5/ui/studio.html).
3. Set the API base URL if needed (default: http://localhost:8001).
4. Enter prompt and options, then click Generate. The UI will poll for results and display audio when ready.

Scope

• Optional: The default way to use ACE-Step remains the Gradio Web UI.
• No backend changes: This UI uses the existing REST API only.
• Experimental: Layout and features may change based on community feedback.
