+**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.
+
+For more details, please refer to the paper: [SoulX-Singer: Towards High-Quality Zero-Shot Singing Voice Synthesis](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07803).
+
