MuseMorphose

This repository contains the official implementation of the following paper:

• Shih-Lun Wu, Yi-Hsuan Yang
  MuseMorphose: Full-Song and Fine-Grained Music Style Transfer with One Transformer VAE
  ArXiv preprint, May 2021 [arXiv] [demo website]

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.6
• Install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• GPU with >6GB RAM (optional, but recommended)

Preprocessing

# download REMI-pop-1.7K dataset
wget -O remi_dataset.tar.gz https://zenodo.org/record/4782721/files/remi_dataset.tar.gz?download=1
tar xzvf remi_dataset.tar.gz
rm remi_dataset.tar.gz

# compute attributes classes
python3 attributes.py

Training

python3 train.py [config file]

• e.g.

python3 train.py config/default.yaml

• Or, you may download the pretrained weights straight away

wget -O musemorphose_pretrained_weights.pt https://zenodo.org/record/5119525/files/musemorphose_pretrained_weights.pt?download=1

Generation

python3 generate.py [config file] [ckpt path] [output dir] [num pieces] [num samples per piece]

• e.g.

python3 generate.py config/default.yaml musemorphose_pretrained_weights.pt generations/ 10 5

This script will randomly draw the specified # of pieces from the test set.
For each sample of a piece, the rhythmic intensity and polyphonicity will be shifted entirely and randomly by [-3, 3] classes for the model to generate style-transferred music.
You may modify random_shift_attr_cls() in generate.py or write your own function to set the attributes.

Customized Generation (To Be Added)

We welcome the community's suggestions and contributions for an interface on which users may

• upload their own MIDIs, and
• set their desired bar-level attributes easily
