# Amphion: An Open-Source Audio, Music, and Speech Generation Toolkit
**Amphion (/æmˈfaɪən/) is a toolkit for Audio, Music, and Speech Generation.** Its purpose is to support reproducible research and help junior researchers and engineers get started in the field of audio, music, and speech generation research and development. Amphion offers a unique feature: **visualizations** of classic models or architectures. We believe that these visualizations are beneficial for junior researchers and engineers who wish to gain a better understanding of the model.
**The North-Star objective of Amphion is to offer a platform for studying the conversion of any inputs into audio.** Amphion is designed to support individual generation tasks, including but not limited to,
- **TTS**: Text to Speech (⛳ supported)
- **SVS**: Singing Voice Synthesis (👨💻 developing)
- **VC**: Voice Conversion (👨💻 developing)
- **SVC**: Singing Voice Conversion (⛳ supported)
- **TTA**: Text to Audio (⛳ supported)
- **TTM**: Text to Music (👨💻 developing)
- more…
In addition to the specific generation tasks, Amphion includes several **vocoders** and **evaluation metrics**. A vocoder is an important module for producing high-quality audio signals, while evaluation metrics are critical for ensuring consistent metrics in generation tasks. Moreover, Amphion is dedicated to advancing audio generation in real-world applications, such as building **large-scale datasets** for speech synthesis.

## ⭐ Key Features
### TTS: Text to Speech
- Amphion achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to existing open-source repositories on text-to-speech (TTS) systems. It supports the following models or architectures:
- [FastSpeech2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.04558): A non-autoregressive TTS architecture that utilizes feed-forward Transformer blocks.
- [VITS](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.06103): An end-to-end TTS architecture that utilizes conditional variational autoencoder with adversarial learning
- [VALL-E](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.02111): A zero-shot TTS architecture that uses a neural codec language model with discrete codes.
- [NaturalSpeech2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.09116): An architecture for TTS that utilizes a latent diffusion model to generate natural-sounding voices.
- [Jets](Jets): An end-to-end TTS model that jointly trains FastSpeech2 and HiFi-GAN with an alignment module.
- [MaskGCT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.00750): a fully non-autoregressive TTS architecture that eliminates the need for explicit alignment information between text and speech supervision.
### SVC: Singing Voice Conversion
- Ampion supports multiple content-based features from various pretrained models, including [WeNet](https://github.com/wenet-e2e/wenet), [Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper), and [ContentVec](https://github.com/auspicious3000/contentvec). Their specific roles in SVC has been investigated in our SLT 2024 paper. [](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.11160) [](egs/svc/MultipleContentsSVC)
- Amphion implements several state-of-the-art model architectures, including diffusion-, transformer-, VAE- and flow-based models. The diffusion-based architecture uses [Bidirectional dilated CNN](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=a-xFK8Ymz5J) as a backend and supports several sampling algorithms such as [DDPM](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.11239.pdf), [DDIM](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.02502.pdf), and [PNDM](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.09778.pdf). Additionally, it supports single-step inference based on the [Consistency Model](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=FmqFfMTNnv).
### TTA: Text to Audio
- Amphion supports the TTA with a latent diffusion model. It is designed like [AudioLDM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12503), [Make-an-Audio](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12661), and [AUDIT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00830). It is also the official implementation of the text-to-audio generation part of our NeurIPS 2023 paper. [](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00830) [](egs/tta/RECIPE.md)
### Vocoder
- Amphion supports various widely-used neural vocoders, including:
- GAN-based vocoders: [MelGAN](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.06711), [HiFi-GAN](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.05646), [NSF-HiFiGAN](https://github.com/nii-yamagishilab/project-NN-Pytorch-scripts), [BigVGAN](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.04658), [APNet](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07952).
- Flow-based vocoders: [WaveGlow](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.00002).
- Diffusion-based vocoders: [Diffwave](https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.09761).
- Auto-regressive based vocoders: [WaveNet](https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.03499), [WaveRNN](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08435v1).
- Amphion provides the official implementation of [Multi-Scale Constant-Q Transform Discriminator](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14957) (our ICASSP 2024 paper). It can be used to enhance any architecture GAN-based vocoders during training, and keep the inference stage (such as memory or speed) unchanged. [](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14957) [](egs/vocoder/gan/tfr_enhanced_hifigan)
### Evaluation
Amphion provides a comprehensive objective evaluation of the generated audio. The evaluation metrics contain:
- **F0 Modeling**: F0 Pearson Coefficients, F0 Periodicity Root Mean Square Error, F0 Root Mean Square Error, Voiced/Unvoiced F1 Score, etc.
- **Energy Modeling**: Energy Root Mean Square Error, Energy Pearson Coefficients, etc.
- **Intelligibility**: Character/Word Error Rate, which can be calculated based on [Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) and more.
- **Spectrogram Distortion**: Frechet Audio Distance (FAD), Mel Cepstral Distortion (MCD), Multi-Resolution STFT Distance (MSTFT), Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ), Short Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI), etc.
- **Speaker Similarity**: Cosine similarity, which can be calculated based on [RawNet3](https://github.com/Jungjee/RawNet), [Resemblyzer](https://github.com/resemble-ai/Resemblyzer), [WeSpeaker](https://github.com/wenet-e2e/wespeaker), [WavLM](https://github.com/microsoft/unilm/tree/master/wavlm) and more.
### Datasets
- Amphion unifies the data preprocess of the open-source datasets including [AudioCaps](https://audiocaps.github.io/), [LibriTTS](https://www.openslr.org/60/), [LJSpeech](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/), [M4Singer](https://github.com/M4Singer/M4Singer), [Opencpop](https://wenet.org.cn/opencpop/), [OpenSinger](https://github.com/Multi-Singer/Multi-Singer.github.io), [SVCC](http://vc-challenge.org/), [VCTK](https://datashare.ed.ac.uk/handle/10283/3443), and more.
