🎶 Mimba Tune · training runs
Songs on the rhythms of home: bikutsi, amapiano, zouk, séga, makossa… Pick a rhythm, write your words, the AI composes and sings.
What this is
Mimba Tune is a studio that turns a few lines of lyrics into a full song on an African or island rhythm, sung in French or English.
Behind each rhythm there is a small style adapter (LoRA) trained on top of ACE-Step 1.5. This repository is the workshop where those adapters are made: it keeps every training run, so that a style can be compared, picked by ear and improved later.
What's inside
| 🥁 Style adapters | One family of LoRA adapters per rhythm, and one per groove (the tempo and instrument variants of a style). |
| 📈 Training runs | Checkpoints saved along each run, with their logs, so that progress can be followed step by step. |
| 🎧 Listening songs | Short songs generated at each checkpoint, to judge a style with the ears and not only with numbers. |
The rhythms being worked on:
| Rhythm | From | Rhythm | From | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bikutsi | Cameroon | Makossa | Cameroon | |
| Mbolé | Cameroon | Bend-skin | Cameroon | |
| Samali | Cameroon | Afrobeat | Nigeria | |
| Amapiano | South Africa | Coupé-décalé | Côte d'Ivoire | |
| Zouk | Antilles | Salegy | Madagascar | |
| Séga | Mauritius | Seggae | Mauritius |
New rhythms and grooves are added as their training ends.
What it is for
- Research and comparison: listening to a style at different stages and choosing the version that sounds right.
- Continuing a style: starting a new run from an earlier one, instead of from scratch.
The adapters actually used by the studio are selected from these runs and kept elsewhere. This repository is an archive of the work, not a ready-to-use product.
What is not here
- the music corpus, its descriptions and lyrics;
- the training recipe and settings;
- the production models of the studio.
