• Authors: Hugo Flores Garcia, Prem Seetharaman, Rithesh Kumar, Bryan Pardo
• Abstract summary: We introduce VampNet, a masked acoustic token modeling approach to music synthesis, compression, inpainting, and variation. VampNet is non-autoregressive, leveraging a bidirectional transformer architecture that attends to all tokens in a forward pass. We show that by prompting VampNet in various ways, we can apply it to tasks like music compression, inpainting, outpainting, continuation, and looping with variation.

• Abstract: We introduce VampNet, a masked acoustic token modeling approach to music synthesis, compression, inpainting, and variation. We use a variable masking schedule during training which allows us to sample coherent music from the model by applying a variety of masking approaches (called prompts) during inference. VampNet is non-autoregressive, leveraging a bidirectional transformer architecture that attends to all tokens in a forward pass. With just 36 sampling passes, VampNet can generate coherent high-fidelity musical waveforms. We show that by prompting VampNet in various ways, we can apply it to tasks like music compression, inpainting, outpainting, continuation, and looping with variation (vamping). Appropriately prompted, VampNet is capable of maintaining style, genre, instrumentation, and other high-level aspects of the music. This flexible prompting capability makes VampNet a powerful music co-creation tool. Code and audio samples are available online.

  SongGen is a fully open-source, single-stage auto-regressive transformer for controllable song generation. It supports two output modes: mixed mode, which generates a mixture of vocals and accompaniment directly, and dual-track mode, which synthesizes them separately. To foster community engagement and future research, we will release our model weights, training code, annotated data, and preprocessing pipeline.

  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.

  Transformer and variational autoencoders (VAE) have been extensively employed for symbolic (e.g., MIDI) domain music generation. In this paper, we are interested in bringing the two together to construct a single model that exhibits both strengths. Experiments show that MuseMorphose outperforms recurrent neural network (RNN) based prior art on numerous widely-used metrics for style transfer tasks.

  We propose a novel system that takes as an input body movements of a musician playing a musical instrument and generates music in an unsupervised setting. We build a pipeline named 'Multi-instrumentalistNet' that learns a discrete latent representation of various instruments music from log-spectrogram. We show that a Midi can further condition the latent space such that the pipeline will generate the exact content of the music being played by the instrument in the video.
