Generating musical audio directly with neural networks is notoriously difficult because it requires coherently modeling structure at many different timescales. Fortunately, most music is also highly structured and can be represented as…

We explore the use of neural synthesis for acoustic guitar from string-wise MIDI input. We propose four different systems and compare them with both objective metrics and subjective evaluation against natural audio and a sample-based…

We propose a timbre conversion model based on the Diffusion architecture de-signed to precisely translate music played by various instruments into piano ver-sions. The model employs a Pitch Encoder and Loudness Encoder to extract pitch and…

In this paper, we introduce Jointist, an instrument-aware multi-instrument framework that is capable of transcribing, recognizing, and separating multiple musical instruments from an audio clip. Jointist consists of an instrument…

Automatic music transcription converts audio recordings into symbolic representations, facilitating music analysis, retrieval, and generation. A musical note is characterized by pitch, onset, and offset in an audio domain, whereas it is…
