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…

Timbre transfer aims to modify the timbral identity of a musical recording while preserving the original melody and rhythm. While single-instrument timbre transfer has made substantial progress, existing approaches to multi-instrument…
