Timedomain has releases an update to its AI-powered music production workstation and virtual vocal synthesizer. Version 2.1.8 of ACE Studio lets users load VST instruments into ACE Studio, and it now supports CLI/MCP.
You stay in charge of the creative decisions. Ask your agent to set up effects, adjust parameters, or organize tracks, then listen and refine the results as you normally would. It can also help you try out an arrangement idea while you decide what fits the song.
Changes in ACE Studio v2.1.8
- Third-Party Instrument Plugin Support (VSTi): You can now load your favorite VSTi plugins directly into ACE Studio, combining AI instruments with the sound libraries you already know and love for even more creative possibilities.
- Redesigned Library UI: The Vocal Synth, Instrument, Audio FX, and Creative libraries all get a fresh new look, making it easier to browse and find what you need.
- CLI / MCP Support: You can now use AI agents like Codex, Claude Code, and others to operate ACE Studio directly, letting them write harmonies, fill in lyrics, and handle repetitive tasks for you.
The update is free for existing users, and new customers can get a 20% discount on ACE Studio for a limited time. Use coupon code REKKERD at the signup to get an additional 5% discount.
