Song generation focuses on producing controllable high-quality songs based on
various prompts. However, existing methods struggle to generate vocals and
accompaniments with prompt-based control and proper alignment. Additionally,
they fall short in supporting various tasks. To address these challenges, we
introduce VersBand, a multi-task song generation framework for synthesizing
high-quality, aligned songs with prompt-based control. VersBand comprises these
primary models: 1) VocalBand, a decoupled model, leverages the flow-matching
method for generating singing styles, pitches, and mel-spectrograms, allowing
fast, high-quality vocal generation with style control. 2) AccompBand, a
flow-based transformer model, incorporates the Band-MOE, selecting suitable
experts for enhanced quality, alignment, and control. This model allows for
generating controllable, high-quality accompaniments aligned with vocals. 3)
Two generation models, LyricBand for lyrics and MelodyBand for melodies,
contribute to the comprehensive multi-task song generation system, allowing for
extensive control based on multiple prompts. Experimental results demonstrate
that VersBand performs better over baseline models across multiple song
generation tasks using objective and subjective metrics. Audio samples are
