Text and lyrics specify broad musical characteristics and sung content but offer limited control over musical timing, melody, and reference-based style. We introduce DiffSynth-Music (https://modelscope.cn/models/DiffSynth-Studio/DiffSynth-Music), a framework that adds composable audio conditioning to a music synthesis backbone through layer-wise key-value injection. The three template models, Control, Prosody, and Reference, are initialized from the backbone diffusion transformer and trained with conditional flow matching. They support five control types: beats, vocals, accompaniment, prosody, and reference audio. A shared variational autoencoder maps conditioning waveforms into a common latent space, enabling their attention memories to be combined. With the template timestep fixed at the clean-data endpoint and other inputs held constant, each control cache is computed once and reused throughout sampling. Training pairs are derived from music recordings using beat extraction, source separation, vocal resynthesis, and reference-excerpt selection. Single-control evaluations on Mandarin and English songs demonstrate improved adherence across all five control types and better lyric fidelity under vocal conditioning relative to the backbone. Automatic music-quality and instruction-following scores remain broadly comparable to those of the evaluated base models, with metric-specific trade-offs. We release the three template models to support research and creative applications in controllable music generation.
