# Pivaenist |
|
|
|
Pivaenist is a random piano music generator with a VAE architecture. |
|
|
|
By the use of the aforementioned autoencoder, it allows the user to encode piano music pieces and to generate new ones. |

### Using pivaenist in colab |
|
|
|
If you preferred directly using or testing the model without the need to install it, you can use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VLbykZ1YrVlCg9UtTVjdJcN0u18f-akD?usp=sharing) and follow its instructions. Moreover, this serves as an example of use. |
|
|
|
## Installation |
|
|
|
To install the model, you will need to **change your working directory to the desired installation location** and execute the following commands: |
|
|
|
**_Windows_** |
|
```console |
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/TomRB22/pivaenist |
|
sudo apt install -y fluidsynth |
|
pip install -r ./pivaenist/requirements.txt |
|
``` |
|
|
|
**_Mac_** |
|
```console |
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/TomRB22/pivaenist |
|
brew install fluidsynth |
|
pip install -r ./pivaenist/requirements.txt |
|
``` |
|
|
|
The first one will clone the repository. Then, fluidsynth, a real-time MIDI synthesizer, is also set up in order to be used by the pretty-midi library. With the last line, you will make sure to have all dependencies on your system. |
|
|
|
## Training Details |
|
|
|
Pivaenist was trained on the midi files of the [MAESTRO v2.0.0 dataset](https://magenta.tensorflow.org/datasets/maestro). Their preprocessing involves splitting each note in pitch, duration and step, which compose a column of a 3xN matrix (which we call song map), where N is the number of notes and a row represents sequentially the different pitches, durations and steps. The VAE's objective is to reconstruct these matrices, making it then possible to generate random maps by sampling from the distribution, and then convert them to a MIDI file. |

# Documentation |
|
|
|
## **_model.VAE_** |
|
|
|
### encode |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def encode(self, x_input: tf.Tensor) -> tuple[tf.Tensor]: |
|
``` |
|
Get a "song map" and make a forward pass through the encoder, in order to return the latent representation and the distribution's parameters. |
|
|
|
Parameters: |
|
* x_input (tf.Tensor): Song map to be encoded by the VAE. |
|
|
|
Returns: |
|
* tf.Tensor: The parameters of the distribution which encode the song (mu, sd) and a sampled latent representation from this distribution (z_sample). |
|
|
|
### generate |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def generate(self, z_sample: tf.Tensor=None) -> tf.Tensor: |
|
``` |
|
Decode a latent representation of a song. |
|
|
|
Parameters: |
|
* z_sample (tf.Tensor): Song encoding outputed by the encoder. If None, this sampling is done over an unit Gaussian distribution. |
|
|
|
Returns: |
|
* tf.Tensor: Song map corresponding to the encoding. |
|
|
|
## **_audio_** |
|
|
|
### midi_to_notes |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def midi_to_notes(midi_file: str) -> pd.DataFrame: |
|
``` |
|
Convert midi file to "song map" (dataframe where each note is broken |
|
into its components) |
|
|
|
Parameters: |
|
* midi_file (str): Path to the midi file. |
|
|
|
Returns: |
|
* pd.Dataframe: 3xN matrix where each column is a note, composed of pitch, duration and step. |
|
|
|
### display_audio |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def display_audio(pm: pretty_midi.PrettyMIDI, seconds=-1) -> display.Audio: |
|
``` |
|
Display a song in PrettyMIDI format as a display.Audio object. This method is especially useful in a Jupyter notebook. |
|
|
|
Parameters |
|
* pm (pretty_midi.PrettyMIDI): PrettyMIDI object containing a song. |
|
* seconds (int): Time fraction of the song to be displayed. When set to -1, the full length is taken. |
|
|
|
Returns: |
|
* display.Audio: Song as an object allowing for display. |
|
|
|
### map_to_wav |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def map_to_wav(song_map: pd.DataFrame, out_file: str, velocity: int=50) -> pretty_midi.PrettyMIDI: |
|
``` |
|
Convert "song map" to midi file (reverse process with respect to |
|
midi_to_notes) and (optionally) save it, generating a PrettyMidi object in the process. |
|
|
|
Parameters: |
|
* song_map (pd.DataFrame): 3xN matrix where each column is a note, composed of pitch, duration and step. |
|
* out_file (str): Path or file to write .mid file to. If None, no saving is done. |
|
* velocity (int): Note loudness, i. e. the hardness a piano key is struck with. |
|
|
|
Returns: |
|
* pretty_midi.PrettyMIDI: PrettyMIDI object containing the song's representation. |
|
|
|
### generate_and_display |
|
|
|
```python |
|
def generate_and_display(model: VAE, |
|
out_file: str=None, |
|
z_sample: tf.Tensor=None, |
|
velocity: int=50, |
|
seconds: int=-1) -> display.Audio: |
|
``` |
|
Generate a song, (optionally) save it and display it. |
|
|
|
Parameters: |
|
* model (VAE): Instance of VAE to generate the song with. |
|
* out_file (str): Path or file to write .mid file to. If None, no saving is done. |
|
* z_sample (tf.Tensor): Song encoding used to generate a song. If None, perform generate an unconditioned piece. |
|
* velocity (int): Note loudness, i. e. the hardness a piano key is struck with. |
|
* seconds (int): Time fraction of the song to be displayed. When set to -1, the full length is taken. |
|
|
|
Returns: |
|
* display.Audio: Song as an object allowing for display. |
