Break-the-Beat! Controllable MIDI-to-Drum Audio Synthesis
Shuyang Cui, Zhi Zhong, Qiyu Wu +9
Current methods for creating drum loop audio in digital music production, such as using one-shot samples or resampling, often demand non-trivial efforts of creators. While recent g…
Noise-to-Notes: Diffusion-based Generation and Refinement for Automatic Drum Transcription
Michael Yeung, Keisuke Toyama, Toya Teramoto +2
Automatic drum transcription (ADT) is traditionally formulated as a discriminative task to predict drum events from audio spectrograms. In this work, we redefine ADT as a condition…
Do Foundational Audio Encoders Understand Music Structure?
Keisuke Toyama, Zhi Zhong, Akira Takahashi +2
In music information retrieval (MIR) research, the use of pretrained foundational audio encoders (FAEs) has recently become a trend. FAEs pretrained on large amounts of music and a…
SpecMaskFoley: Steering Pretrained Spectral Masked Generative Transformer Toward Synchronized Video-to-audio Synthesis via ControlNet
Zhi Zhong, Akira Takahashi, Shuyang Cui +3
Foley synthesis aims to synthesize high-quality audio that is both semantically and temporally aligned with video frames. Given its broad application in creative industries, the ta…
