• Abstract: The recent surge in the popularity of diffusion models for image synthesis has attracted new attention to their potential for generation tasks in other domains. However, their applications to symbolic music generation remain largely under-explored because symbolic music is typically represented as sequences of discrete events and standard diffusion models are not well-suited for discrete data. We represent symbolic music as image-like pianorolls, facilitating the use of diffusion models for the generation of symbolic music. Moreover, this study introduces a novel diffusion model that incorporates our proposed Transformer-Mamba block and learnable wavelet transform. Classifier-free guidance is utilised to generate symbolic music with target chords. Our evaluation shows that our method achieves compelling results in terms of music quality and controllability, outperforming the strong baseline in pianoroll generation. Our code is available at https://github.com/jinchengzhanggg/proffusion.

  We are inspired by how musicians compose music not just from a movie script, but also through visualizations.

Our exhaustive experimental evaluation suggests that adding visual information to the music synthesis pipeline significantly improves the quality of generated music.

  We propose to combine a vector quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) and discrete diffusion models for the generation of symbolic music. The trained VQ-VAE can represent symbolic music as a sequence of indexes that correspond to specific entries in a learned codebook. The diffusion model is trained to generate intermediate music sequences consisting of codebook indexes, which are then decoded to symbolic music using the VQ-VAE's decoder.

  Deep generative models can generate high-fidelity audio conditioned on various types of representations. These models are prone to generate audible artifacts when the conditioning is flawed or imperfect. We propose a high-fidelity multi-band diffusion-based framework that generates any type of audio modality from low-bitrate discrete representations.

  We introduce Noise2Music, where a series of diffusion models is trained to generate high-quality 30-second music clips from text prompts. We find that the generated audio is not only able to faithfully reflect key elements of the text prompt such as genre, tempo, instruments, mood, and era. Pretrained large language models play a key role in this story -- they are used to generate paired text for the audio of the training set and to extract embeddings of the text prompts ingested by the diffusion models.

  Symbolic Music Generation relies on the contextual representation capabilities of the generative model.

Our model is evaluated on two open MIDI datasets, and experiments show that our model outperforms the best contemporary symbolic music generative models.
