LiveBand: Live Accompaniment Generation in the Audio Domain

Marco Pasini, Javier Nistal, Ben Hayes +3

We present LiveBand, a real-time system that generates high-fidelity music accompaniments to live audio input, respecting strict causal constraints. Our method trains a causal tran…

Diffusion Timbre Transfer Via Mutual Information Guided Inpainting

Ching Ho Lee, Javier Nistal, Stefan Lattner +2

We study timbre transfer as an inference-time editing problem for music audio. Starting from a strong pre-trained latent diffusion model, we introduce a lightweight procedure that…

Perceptually Aligning Representations of Music via Noise-Augmented Autoencoders

Mathias Rose Bjare, Giorgia Cantisani, Marco Pasini +2

We argue that training autoencoders to reconstruct inputs from noised versions of their encodings, when combined with perceptually motivated losses, yields encodings that are struc…

CoDiCodec: Unifying Continuous and Discrete Compressed Representations of Audio

Marco Pasini, Stefan Lattner, George Fazekas

Efficiently representing audio signals in a compressed latent space is critical for latent generative modelling. However, existing autoencoders often force a choice between continu…

Continuous Autoregressive Models with Noise Augmentation Avoid Error Accumulation

Marco Pasini, Javier Nistal, Stefan Lattner +1

Autoregressive models are typically applied to sequences of discrete tokens, but recent research indicates that generating sequences of continuous embeddings in an autoregressive m…

Zero-shot Musical Stem Retrieval with Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures

Alain Riou, Antonin Gagneré, Gaëtan Hadjeres +2

In this paper, we tackle the task of musical stem retrieval. Given a musical mix, it consists in retrieving a stem that would fit with it, i.e., that would sound pleasant if played…

Improving Musical Accompaniment Co-creation via Diffusion Transformers

Javier Nistal, Marco Pasini, Stefan Lattner

Building upon Diff-A-Riff, a latent diffusion model for musical instrument accompaniment generation, we present a series of improvements targeting quality, diversity, inference spe…

Music2Latent: Consistency Autoencoders for Latent Audio Compression

Marco Pasini, Stefan Lattner, George Fazekas

Efficient audio representations in a compressed continuous latent space are critical for generative audio modeling and Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks. However, some existi…

Stem-JEPA: A Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture for Musical Stem Compatibility Estimation

Alain Riou, Stefan Lattner, Gaëtan Hadjeres +2

This paper explores the automated process of determining stem compatibility by identifying audio recordings of single instruments that blend well with a given musical context. To t…

The evolution of inharmonicity and noisiness in contemporary popular music

Emmanuel Deruty, David Meredith, Stefan Lattner

Much of Western classical music relies on instruments based on acoustic resonance, which produce harmonic or quasi-harmonic sounds. In contrast, since the mid-twentieth century, po…

Investigating Design Choices in Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures for General Audio Representation Learning

Alain Riou, Stefan Lattner, Gaëtan Hadjeres +1

This paper addresses the problem of self-supervised general-purpose audio representation learning. We explore the use of Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA) for this ta…

PESTO: Pitch Estimation with Self-supervised Transposition-equivariant Objective

Alain Riou, Stefan Lattner, Gaëtan Hadjeres +1

In this paper, we address the problem of pitch estimation using Self Supervised Learning (SSL). The SSL paradigm we use is equivariance to pitch transposition, which enables our mo…
