This LoRA is trained to generate 90's Eurobeat in the style of Initial D. If you've listened to the samples, you're probably wondering how such quality is possible. The LoRA was trained with the ACE-Step 1.5 XL Base model.Inference is done specially in order to maximize the quality of the outputs.To help mitigate effects of high-rank training, two models are provided:Light version was half-way through training around epoch 400, results in lighter synth riffs but still strong overall effect and quality vocals. This version is more flexible. Final version was the final epoch 1000, contains more pronounced synth riffs, but may be a bit more rigid than the light version. This version is more authentic.These were both tested at a weight of 1. Feel free to play around with this weight on the final version to make it less rigid.All samples (except 4) were generated with the Final version.Sample 4 (Japanese) was generated with the Light version. Samples 4 and 5 were trimmed due to length restrictions, full samples are included under additional files.<h2 id="recommended-usage">Recommended Usage</h2>UI: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/scragnog/HOT-Step-CPP">HOT-Step CPP</a> or acestep.cppModel: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/scragnog/ace-step-1.5-gguf-merge-models/blob/main/acestep-v15-merge-base-turbo-xl-ta-0.5-Q8_0.gguf">ACEStep-XL Turbo/Base 0.5 merge</a>VAE: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/scragnog/Ace-Step-1.5-ScragVAE">ScragVAE</a>Settings:DPM++ 3M, 50 Steps, CFG 12-20.LM DisabledDataset BPM range: 101-160, average around 150.Merged Turbo/Base model used to improve model's sound quality and composition.DiT-only generation for maximum creativity.<h2 id="prompt-examples">Prompt examples</h2>Trigger word (prepend): in1tial_dl0r4<pre><code>in1tial_dl0r4 A high-octane Eurobeat track featuring aggressive male vocals over a wall of bright saw-wave synthesizers and punchy electronic drums. Distorted guitar stabs punctuate the melodic hooks, while a driving bassline sustains relentless momentum. The mood is fierce and exhilarating, perfectly suited to late-night mountain racing. Layered synth arpeggios and anthemic shouts amplify the adrenaline-charged atmosphere throughout.</code></pre><pre><code>in1tial_dl0r4 A Eurobeat track featuring passionate female vocals sung primarily in Japanese, layered over shimmering synthesizer leads and crisp electronic percussion. Melodic synth arpeggios and glittering high-frequency stabs create a luminous, high-speed atmosphere. The delivery is emotional and soaring, evoking the thrill of chasing the horizon at dawn. A warm bassline and energetic snare drive the track forward with relentless optimism.</code></pre><pre><code>in1tial_dl0r4 An infectiously catchy Eurobeat banger built around an irresistible synth hook that lodges itself in the brain instantly. Playful, charismatic male vocals bounce over a bouncy, punchy kick drum and bright staccato synth stabs. The arrangement is lean and efficient — every element serves the hook. Crowd-ready call-and-response shouts, a sing-along chorus, and a shameless earworm melody make this the ultimate dance-floor weapon. Pure, unapologetic fun from start to finish.</code></pre>For lyrics, key points to remember are this LoRA was trained on English songs, some of them contained Japanese written in romaji. The vocals can be male, female, or both.<h2 id="lyrics-structure">Lyrics structure</h2>Standard ACE-Step 1.5 structural tags.
