This repository contains the source code for loop synthesis. Audio examples can be found in the project website. An interactive notebook can be found in here.

Installation

To install, clone the repository and use

pip install -r requirements.txt 

to install the packages required. The pretrained model weights can be downloaded along with the validation hdf5 file. The path to the unzipped model weights and the validation file need to be set in the command line arguments for the main function.

The code for creating the validation outputs and calculating the FAD is in the evaluate.py file.

usage: evalutate.py [-h] [--model MODEL] [--log_dir LOG_DIR] [--val_file VAL_FILE]
               [--output_dir OUTPUT_DIR]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --model MODEL         Models to use, must be in multi_env, multi, wavespec,
                        wav or spec
  --log_dir LOG_DIR     The directory where the models are saved
  --val_file VAL_FILE   Path to the file containing validation features
  --output_dir OUTPUT_DIR
                        Directory to save the outputs in
