Questions, answered

Who maintains pymss?

It is an open-source project at pymss-project/pymss with 7 forks. Check the repo’s contributors and recent commits to judge how active maintenance is.

Is pymss free to use?

Yes. It is MIT licensed, so you can use it commercially with attribution.

What quality is the output?

Typically 44.1–48kHz stereo β€” good enough for demos and remixes.

Do I need a GPU?

Separation and generation run much faster on GPU, but CPU works for short tracks.

Can I use the results commercially?

Check the model's license β€” the code license and model weights may differ.
