# VampNet This repository contains recipes for training generative music models on top of the Descript Audio Codec. ## try `unloop` you can try vampnet in a co-creative looper called unloop. see this link: https://github.com/hugofloresgarcia/unloop # Setting up **Requires Python 3.9**. you'll need a Python 3.9 environment to run VampNet. This is due to a [known issue with madmom](https://github.com/hugofloresgarcia/vampnet/issues/15). (for example, using conda) ```bash conda create -n vampnet python=3.9 conda activate vampnet ``` install VampNet ```bash git clone https://github.com/hugofloresgarcia/vampnet.git pip install -e ./vampnet ``` ## A note on argbind This repository relies on [argbind](https://github.com/pseeth/argbind) to manage CLIs and config files. Config files are stored in the `conf/` folder. ## Getting the Pretrained Models ### Licensing for Pretrained Models: The weights for the models are licensed [`CC BY-NC-SA 4.0`](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.ml). Likewise, any VampNet models fine-tuned on the pretrained models are also licensed [`CC BY-NC-SA 4.0`](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.ml). Download the pretrained models from [this link](https://zenodo.org/record/8136629). Then, extract the models to the `models/` folder. # Usage ## Launching the Gradio Interface You can launch a gradio UI to play with vampnet. ```bash python app.py --args.load conf/interface.yml --Interface.device cuda ``` # Training / Fine-tuning ## Training a model To train a model, run the following script: ```bash python scripts/exp/train.py --args.load conf/vampnet.yml --save_path /path/to/checkpoints ``` You can edit `conf/vampnet.yml` to change the dataset paths or any training hyperparameters. For coarse2fine models, you can use `conf/c2f.yml` as a starting configuration. See `python scripts/exp/train.py -h` for a list of options. ## Fine-tuning To fine-tune a model, use the script in `scripts/exp/fine_tune.py` to generate 3 configuration files: `c2f.yml`, `coarse.yml`, and `interface.yml`. The first two are used to fine-tune the coarse and fine models, respectively. The last one is used to launch the gradio interface. ```bash python scripts/exp/fine_tune.py "/path/to/audio1.mp3 /path/to/audio2/ /path/to/audio3.wav" ``` This will create a folder under `conf//` with the 3 configuration files. The save_paths will be set to `runs//coarse` and `runs//c2f`. launch the coarse job: ```bash python scripts/exp/train.py --args.load conf//coarse.yml ``` this will save the coarse model to `runs//coarse/ckpt/best/`. launch the c2f job: ```bash python scripts/exp/train.py --args.load conf//c2f.yml ``` launch the interface: ```bash python app.py --args.load conf/generated//interface.yml ```
