• Abstract summary: DisMix is a generative framework in which the pitch and timbre representations act as building blocks for constructing the melody and instrument of a source. By manipulating the representations, our model samples mixtures with novel combinations of pitch and timbre of the constituent instruments. We can jointly learn the disentangled pitch-timbre representations and a latent diffusion transformer that reconstructs the mixture conditioned on the set of source-level representations.

• Abstract: Existing work on pitch and timbre disentanglement has been mostly focused on single-instrument music audio, excluding the cases where multiple instruments are presented. To fill the gap, we propose DisMix, a generative framework in which the pitch and timbre representations act as modular building blocks for constructing the melody and instrument of a source, and the collection of which forms a set of per-instrument latent representations underlying the observed mixture. By manipulating the representations, our model samples mixtures with novel combinations of pitch and timbre of the constituent instruments. We can jointly learn the disentangled pitch-timbre representations and a latent diffusion transformer that reconstructs the mixture conditioned on the set of source-level representations. We evaluate the model using both a simple dataset of isolated chords and a realistic four-part chorales in the style of J.S. Bach, identify the key components for the success of disentanglement, and demonstrate the application of mixture transformation based on source-level attribute manipulation.

• Separate This, and All of these Things Around It: Music Source Separation via Hyperellipsoidal Queries [53.30852012059025]
  Music source separation is an audio-to-audio retrieval task. Recent work in music source separation has begun to challenge the fixed-stem paradigm. We propose the use of hyperellipsoidal regions as queries to allow for an intuitive yet easily parametrizable approach to specifying both the target (location) and its spread.

  We propose enhancing control of multi-instrument synthesis by conditioning a generative model on a specific performance and recording environment. Performance conditioning is a tool indicating the generative model to synthesize music with style and timbre of specific instruments taken from specific performances. Our prototype is evaluated using uncurated performances with diverse instrumentation and state-of-the-art FAD realism scores.

  We present a method for the generation of Midi files of piano music. The method models the right and left hands using two networks, where the left hand is conditioned on the right hand. The Midi is represented in a way that is invariant to the musical scale, and the melody is represented, for the purpose of conditioning the harmony.

• A Unified Model for Zero-shot Music Source Separation, Transcription and Synthesis [13.263771543118994]
  We propose a unified model for three inter-related tasks: 1) to textitseparate individual sound sources from a mixed music audio, 2) to textittranscribe each sound source to MIDI notes, and 3) totextit synthesize new pieces based on the timbre of separated sources. The model is inspired by the fact that when humans listen to music, our minds can not only separate the sounds of different instruments, but also at the same time perceive high-level representations such as score and timbre.

We detail results for translating audio between orchestral instruments and singing voice, as well as transfers from vocal imitations to instruments.
