Why it exists
YUE2 // GROOVE is a local music studio for producers, songwriters, and creators who want serious AI-assisted writing without living in the terminal.
It sits on today’s open music stack:
- Yue2 — generation model + inference for full-song audio
- SheetSage2 + MERT2 — turn recordings into editable musical structure
The goal is simple: keep creation on your machine, and give you a studio that feels like making music — not configuring software.
What you can do
Start from the SONG view: one place for the work in progress, the score, playback, and the next move.
- New track — describe style and lyrics, shape an editable score plan, then render a full song
- Cover — turn a reference recording into new music
- Edit — refine the score, check it, compare versions
- Library — save and reuse your works
Everyday workflows
1. New song — style + lyrics → plan → generate → listen → save to library
2. Cover a recording — upload audio → transcription → review the score → generate a cover (or send into GENERATE)
3. Edit a work — freeze a baseline → change the score → check → generate the edit → compare with the original
From SONG you can jump into GENERATE, COVER, EDIT, or LIBRARY without losing the thread.
4. Listening and Managing Works from Libary
Tips for higher-quality results
Spend time in ADVANCED // SAMPLING and the controls around it — that’s where quality moves.
| Control | Why it matters |
|---|---|
PLAN MODE (full / melody / off) |
How strongly the score guides the track |
| SEED | Same seed = repeatable take; change it for a new interpretation |
| CFG SCALE | Pull the result back toward your text / score when it drifts |
| temperature / top_p / top_k / repetition_penalty | Safer & tighter vs more surprise (score stage + song stage) |
| BUDGET PRESET / token limits | Length and density of the piece |
| ODE STEPS | Render quality vs time |
Change one thing at a time, listen, then iterate — small moves usually beat big random swings.
