• Abstract: Autoregressive models are now capable of generating high-quality minute-long expressive MIDI piano performances. Even though this progress suggests new tools to assist music composition, we observe that generative algorithms are still not widely used by artists due to the limited control they offer, prohibitive inference times or the lack of integration within musicians' workflows. In this work, we present the Piano Inpainting Application (PIA), a generative model focused on inpainting piano performances, as we believe that this elementary operation (restoring missing parts of a piano performance) encourages human-machine interaction and opens up new ways to approach music composition. Our approach relies on an encoder-decoder Linear Transformer architecture trained on a novel representation for MIDI piano performances termed Structured MIDI Encoding. By uncovering an interesting synergy between Linear Transformers and our inpainting task, we are able to efficiently inpaint contiguous regions of a piano performance, which makes our model suitable for interactive and responsive A.I.-assisted composition. Finally, we introduce our freely-available Ableton Live PIA plugin, which allows musicians to smoothly generate or modify any MIDI clip using PIA within a widely-used professional Digital Audio Workstation.

  This study explores a user-friendly graphical interface enabling the drawing of masked regions for inpainting by an Hourglass Diffusion Transformer (HDiT) model trained on MIDI piano roll images. We demonstrate that, in addition to inpainting of melodies, accompaniment, and continuations, the use of repainting can help increase note density yielding musical structures closely matching user specifications.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating high-quality music, but their focus on autoregressive generation limits their utility in music editing tasks. We propose a novel approach leveraging a parameter-efficient heterogeneous adapter combined with a masking training scheme. Our method integrates frame-level content-based controls, facilitating track-conditioned music refinement and score-conditioned music arrangement.

We then establish a unified protocol based on 14 tasks on 8 public-available datasets, providing a fair and standard assessment of representations of all open-sourced pre-trained models developed on music recordings as baselines.
