Official inference code for
SoulX-Singer: Towards High-Quality Zero-Shot Singing Voice Synthesis

🎵 Overview

SoulX-Singer is a high-fidelity, zero-shot singing voice synthesis model that enables users to generate realistic singing voices for unseen singers. It supports melody-conditioned (F0 contour) and score-conditioned (MIDI notes) control for precise pitch, rhythm, and expression.

SoulX-Singer-SVC is a singing voice conversion (SVC) model finetuned from SoulX-Singer. Singing Voice Conversion aims to transform a source singing recording into the target singer’s voice while preserving the original melody, rhythm, and lyrical content. Based on the strong generative capability of SoulX-Singer, SoulX-Singer-SVC enables high-quality singing voice conversion directly from raw singing audio, without requiring lyric or MIDI transcriptions.

✨ Key Features

SoulX-Singer

🎤 Zero-Shot Singing – Generate high-fidelity voices for unseen singers, no fine-tuning needed.
🎵 Flexible Control Modes – Melody (F0) and Score (MIDI) conditioning.
📚 Large-Scale Dataset – 42,000+ hours of aligned vocals, lyrics, notes across Mandarin, English, Cantonese.
🧑‍🎤 Timbre Cloning – Preserve singer identity across languages, styles, and edited lyrics.
✏️ Singing Voice Editing – Modify lyrics while keeping natural prosody.
🌐 Cross-Lingual Synthesis – High-fidelity synthesis by disentangling timbre from content.

SoulX-Singer-SVC

🎙️ Zero-Shot Timbre and Style Transfer – Transfer singer identity and style to unseen voices without per-speaker fine-tuning.
🌍 Language-Agnostic Conversion – Works across multilingual singing content.
🔄 Transcription-Free Audio-to-Audio Conversion – Convert target singing directly without lyrics transcription or MIDI inputs.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/Soul-AILab/SoulX-Singer.git
cd SoulX-Singer

2. Set Up Environment

1. Install Conda (if not already installed): https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

2. Create and activate a Conda environment:

conda create -n soulxsinger -y python=3.10
conda activate soulxsinger

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

⚠️ If you are in mainland China, use a PyPI mirror:

pip install -r requirements.txt -i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host=mirrors.aliyun.com

3. Download Pretrained Models

Install Hugging Face Hub if needed:

pip install -U huggingface_hub

Download the SVS, SVC model and preprocessing models:

pip install -U huggingface_hub

# Download the SoulX-Singer SVS and SVC model
hf download Soul-AILab/SoulX-Singer --local-dir pretrained_models/SoulX-Singer

# Download models required for preprocessing
hf download Soul-AILab/SoulX-Singer-Preprocess --local-dir pretrained_models/SoulX-Singer-Preprocess

4. Run the Demo

Run the SVS inference demo

bash example/infer.sh

This script relies on metadata generated from the preprocessing pipeline, including vocal separation and transcription. Users should follow the steps in preprocess to prepare the necessary metadata before running the demo with their own data.

⚠️ Important Note The metadata produced by the automatic preprocessing pipeline may not perfectly align the singing audio with the corresponding lyrics and musical notes. For best synthesis quality, we strongly recommend manually correcting the alignment using the 🎼 Midi-Editor.

How to use the Midi-Editor:

Eiditing Metadata with Midi-Editor

Run the SVC inference demo

bash example/infer_svc.sh

This example performs audio-to-audio SVC, converting the target singing into the prompt timbre using waveform and F0 inputs. To prepare your own SVC data, run example/preprocess.sh with midi_transcribe=False.

🌐 WebUI

You can launch the interactive interface for SVS (Synthesised from lyrics and MIDI transcriptions) with:

python webui.py

For SVC WebUI (audio-to-audio conversion):

python webui_svc.py

🚧 Roadmap
