```

Note: Coming to PyPi soon to enable `pip install dasp-pytorch`.

## Examples

`dasp-pytorch` is a Python library for constructing differentiable audio signal processors using PyTorch. 
These differentiable processors can be used standalone or within the computation graph of neural networks. 
We provide purely functional interfaces for all processors that enables ease-of-use and portability across projects. 
Unless oterhwise stated, all effect functions expect 3-dim tensors with shape `(batch_size, num_channels, num_samples)` as input and output. 
Using an effect in your computation graph is as simple as calling the function with the input tensor as argument. 

### Quickstart

Here is a minimal example to demonstrate reverse engineering the drive value of a simple distortion effect using gradient descent. 

```python
import torch
import torchaudio
import dasp_pytorch

# Load audio
x, sr = torchaudio.load("audio/short_riff.wav")

# create batch dim
# (batch_size, n_channels, n_samples)
x = x.unsqueeze(0)

# apply some distortion with 16 dB drive
drive = torch.tensor([16.0])
y = dasp_pytorch.functional.distortion(x, drive)

# create a parameter to optimizer
drive_hat = torch.nn.Parameter(torch.tensor(0.0))
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam([drive_hat], lr=0.01)

# optimize the parameter
n_iters = 2500
for n in range(n_iters):
    # apply distortion with the estimated parameter
    y_hat = dasp_pytorch.functional.distortion(x, drive_hat)

    # compute distance between estimate and target
    loss = torch.nn.functional.mse_loss(y_hat, y)

    # optimize
    optimizer.zero_grad()
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
    print(
        f"step: {n+1}/{n_iters}, loss: {loss.item():.3f}, drive: {drive_hat.item():.3f}"
    )
```

For the remaining examples we will use the [GuitarSet](https://guitarset.weebly.com/) dataset. 
You can download the data using the following commands:
```bash
mkdir data
wget https://zenodo.org/records/3371780/files/audio_mono-mic.zip
unzip audio_mono-mic.zip
rm audio_mono-mic.zip
```
