We propose a unified model for three inter-related tasks: 1) to textit{separate} individual sound sources from a mixed music audio, 2) to textit{transcribe} 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. To mirror such capability computationally, we designed a pitch-timbre disentanglement module based on a popular encoder-decoder neural architecture for source separation. The key inductive biases are vector-quantization for pitch representation and pitch-transformation invariant for timbre representation. In addition, we adopted a query-by-example method to achieve textit{zero-shot} learning, i.e., the model is capable of doing source separation, transcription, and synthesis for textit{unseen} instruments. The current design focuses on audio mixtures of two monophonic instruments. Experimental results show that our model outperforms existing multi-task baselines, and the transcribed score serves as a powerful auxiliary for separation tasks.

We present and release Omnizart, a new Python library that provides a streamlined solution to automatic music transcription (AMT). Omnizart encompasses modules that construct the life-cycle of deep learning-based AMT, and is designed for ease of use with a compact command-line interface. To the best of our knowledge, Omnizart is the first transcription toolkit which offers models covering a wide class of instruments ranging from solo, instrument ensembles, percussion instruments to vocal, as well as models for chord recognition and beat/downbeat tracking, two music information retrieval (MIR) tasks highly related to AMT.
Recent deep learning approaches have shown great improvement in audio source separation tasks. However, the vast majority of such work is focused on improving average separation performance, often neglecting to examine or control the distribution of the results. In this paper, we propose a simple, unified gradient reweighting scheme, with a lightweight modification to bias the learning process of a model and steer it towards a certain distribution of results. More specifically, we reweight the gradient updates of each batch, using a user-specified probability distribution. We apply this method to various source separation tasks, in order to shift the operating point of the models towards different objectives. We demonstrate different parameterizations of our unified reweighting scheme can be used towards addressing several real-world problems, such as unreliable separation estimates. Our framework enables the user to control a robustness trade-off between worst and average performance. Moreover, we experimentally show that our unified reweighting scheme can also be used in order to shift the focus of the model towards being more accurate for user-specified sound classes or even towards easier examples in order to enable faster convergence.
Source separation for music is the task of isolating contributions, or stems, from different instruments recorded individually and arranged together to form a song. Such components include voice, bass, drums and any other accompaniments.Contrarily to many audio synthesis tasks where the best performances are achieved by models that directly generate the waveform, the state-of-the-art in source separation for music is to compute masks on the magnitude spectrum. In this paper, we compare two waveform domain architectures. We first adapt Conv-Tasnet, initially developed for speech source separation,to the task of music source separation. While Conv-Tasnet beats many existing spectrogram-domain methods, it suffersfrom significant artifacts, as shown by human evaluations. We propose instead Demucs, a novel waveform-to-waveform model,with a U-Net structure and bidirectional LSTM.Experiments on the MusDB dataset show that, with proper data augmentation, Demucs beats allexisting state-of-the-art architectures, including Conv-Tasnet, with 6.3 SDR on average, (and up to 6.8 with 150 extra training songs, even surpassing the IRM oracle for the bass source).Using recent development in model quantization, Demucs can be compressed down to 120MBwithout any loss of accuracy.We also provide human evaluations, showing that Demucs benefit from a large advantagein terms of the naturalness of the audio. However, it suffers from some bleeding,especially between the vocals and other source.
Music source separation with deep neural networks typically relies only on amplitude features. In this paper we show that additional phase features can improve the separation performance. Using the theoretical relationship between STFT phase and ampl itude, we conjecture that derivatives of the phase are a good feature representation opposed to the raw phase. We verify this conjecture experimentally and propose a new DNN architecture which combines amplitude and phase. This joint approach achieves a better signal-to distortion ratio on the DSD100 dataset for all instruments compared to a network that uses only amplitude features. Especially, the bass instrument benefits from the phase information.
In recent years, music source separation has been one of the most intensively studied research areas in music information retrieval. Improvements in deep learning lead to a big progress in music source separation performance. However, most of the pre vious studies are restricted to separating a few limited number of sources, such as vocals, drums, bass, and other. In this study, we propose a network for audio query-based music source separation that can explicitly encode the source information from a query signal regardless of the number and/or kind of target signals. The proposed method consists of a Query-net and a Separator: given a query and a mixture, the Query-net encodes the query into the latent space, and the Separator estimates masks conditioned by the latent vector, which is then applied to the mixture for separation. The Separator can also generate masks using the latent vector from the training samples, allowing separation in the absence of a query. We evaluate our method on the MUSDB18 dataset, and experimental results show that the proposed method can separate multiple sources with a single network. In addition, through further investigation of the latent space we demonstrate that our method can generate continuous outputs via latent vector interpolation.
