# SOME SOME: Singing-Oriented MIDI Extractor. > WARNING > > This project is under beta version now. No backward compatibility is guaranteed. ## Overview SOME is a MIDI extractor that can convert singing voice to MIDI sequence, with the following advantages: 1. Speed: 9x faster than real-time on an i5 12400 CPU, and 300x on a 3080Ti GPU. 2. Low resource dependency: SOME can be trained on custom dataset, and can achieve good results with only 3 hours of training data. 3. Functionality: SOME can produce non-integer MIDI values, which is specially suitable for DiffSinger variance labeling. ## Getting Started > 中文教程 / Chinese Tutorials: [Text](https://openvpi-docs.feishu.cn/wiki/RaHSwdMQvisdcKkRFpqclhM7ndc), [Video](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1my4y1N7VR) ### Installation SOME requires Python 3.8 or later. We strongly recommend you create a virtual environment via Conda or venv before installing dependencies. 1. Install PyTorch 2.1 or later following the [official instructions](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) according to your OS and hardware. 2. Install other dependencies via the following command: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` 3. (Optional) For better pitch extraction results, please download the RMVPE pretrained model from [here](https://github.com/yxlllc/RMVPE/releases) and extract it into `pretrained/` directory. ### Inference via pretrained model (MIDI files) Download pretrained model of SOME from [releases](https://github.com/openvpi/SOME/releases) and extract them somewhere. To infer with CLI, run the following command: ```bash python infer.py --model CKPT_PATH --wav WAV_PATH ``` This will load model at CKPT_PATH, extract MIDI from audio file at WAV_PATH and save a MIDI file. For more useful options, run ```bash python infer.py --help ``` To infer with Web UI, run the following command: ```bash python webui.py --work_dir WORK_DIR ``` Then you can open the gradio interface through your browser and use the models under WORK_DIR following the instructions on the web page. For more useful options, run ```bash python webui.py --help ``` ### Inference via pretrained model (DiffSinger dataset) Download pretrained model of SOME from [releases](https://github.com/openvpi/SOME/releases) and extract them somewhere. To use SOME for an existing DiffSinger dataset, you should have a transcriptions.csv with `name`, `ph_seq`, `ph_dur` and `ph_num` in it. Run the following command: ```bash python batch_infer.py --model CKPT_PATH --dataset RAW_DATA_DIR --overwrite ``` This will use the model to get all MIDI sequences (with floating point pitch values) from the recordings in the dataset and **OVERWRITE** its transcriptions.csv with `note_seq` and `note_dur` added or replaced. Please be careful and back up your files if necessary. For more useful options, run ```bash python batch_infer.py --help ``` ### Training from scratch _Training scripts are uploaded but may not be well-organized yet. For the best compatibility, we suggest training your own model after a stable release in the future._ ## Disclaimer Any organization or individual is prohibited from using any recordings obtained without consent from the provider as training data.
