BS-RoFormer

Implementation of Band Split Roformer, SOTA Attention network for music source separation out of ByteDance AI Labs. They beat the previous first place by a large margin. The technique uses axial attention across frequency (hence multi-band) and time. They also have experiments to show that rotary positional encoding led to a huge improvement over learned absolute positions.

It also includes support for stereo training and outputting multiple stems.

Please join if you are interested in replicating a SOTA music source separator out in the open

Update: This paper has been replicated by Roman and weight open sourced here

Update 2: Used for this Katy Perry remix!

Update 3: Kimberley Jensen has open sourced a MelBand Roformer trained on vocals here!

Appreciation

• StabilityAI and 🤗 Huggingface for the generous sponsorship, as well as my other sponsors, for affording me the independence to open source artificial intelligence.

• Roee and Fabian-Robert for sharing their audio expertise and fixing audio hyperparameters

• @chenht2010 and Roman for working out the default band splitting hyperparameter!

• Max Prod for reporting a big bug with Mel-Band Roformer with stereo training!

• Roman for successfully training the model and open sourcing his training code and weights at this repository!

• Christopher for fixing an issue with multiple stems in Mel-Band Roformer

• Iver Jordal for identifying that the default stft window function is not correct

Install

$ pip install BS-RoFormer

Usage

import torch
from bs_roformer import BSRoformer

model = BSRoformer(
    dim = 512,
    depth = 12,
    time_transformer_depth = 1,
    freq_transformer_depth = 1
)

x = torch.randn(2, 352800)
target = torch.randn(2, 352800)

loss = model(x, target = target)
loss.backward()

# after much training

out = model(x)

To use the Mel-Band Roformer proposed in a recent follow up paper, simply import MelBandRoformer instead

import torch
from bs_roformer import MelBandRoformer

model = MelBandRoformer(
    dim = 32,
    depth = 1,
    time_transformer_depth = 1,
    freq_transformer_depth = 1
)

x = torch.randn(2, 352800)
target = torch.randn(2, 352800)

loss = model(x, target = target)
loss.backward()

# after much training

out = model(x)

Todo

• [x] get the multiscale stft loss in there
• [x] figure out what n_fft should be
• [x] review band split + mask estimation modules
