• Title: MMM : Exploring Conditional Multi-Track Music Generation with the Transformer
• Authors: Jeff Ens, Philippe Pasquier
• Abstract summary: We propose a generative system based on the Transformer architecture that is capable of generating multi-track music. We create a time-ordered sequence of musical events for each track and several tracks into a single sequence. This takes advantage of the Transformer's attention-mechanism, which can adeptly handle long-term dependencies.

• Abstract: We propose the Multi-Track Music Machine (MMM), a generative system based on the Transformer architecture that is capable of generating multi-track music. In contrast to previous work, which represents musical material as a single time-ordered sequence, where the musical events corresponding to different tracks are interleaved, we create a time-ordered sequence of musical events for each track and concatenate several tracks into a single sequence. This takes advantage of the Transformer's attention-mechanism, which can adeptly handle long-term dependencies. We explore how various representations can offer the user a high degree of control at generation time, providing an interactive demo that accommodates track-level and bar-level inpainting, and offers control over track instrumentation and note density.

  We introduce UniMuMo, a unified multimodal model capable of taking arbitrary text, music, and motion data as input conditions to generate outputs across all three modalities. By converting music, motion, and text into token-based representation, our model bridges these modalities through a unified encoder-decoder transformer architecture.

The proposed BandControlNet outperforms other conditional music generation models on most objective metrics in terms of fidelity and inference speed. The subjective evaluations show trained on short datasets can generate music with comparable quality to state-of-the-art models, while outperforming significantly using BandControlNet.
