DuoTok is a source‑aware dual‑track music tokenizer designed for vocal‑accompaniment generation. It first learns a semantic audio representation via self‑supervised pretraining, then refines source‑aware structure with feature‑replacement noise and multi‑task supervision (spectral reconstruction, source separation regularization, and an ASR head for lyric alignment). The encoder is frozen and hard‑routed codebooks for vocals and accompaniment are learned, while a diffusion decoder restores fine acoustic detail from the discrete tokens, achieving a favorable predictability‑fidelity trade‑off at ultra‑low bitrate across public benchmarks.

PitchFlower is a flow‑based neural audio codec that offers explicit pitch controllability by flattening and randomly shifting F0 contours during training while conditioning on the true F0 to reconstruct the original audio. A vector‑quantization bottleneck blocks pitch recovery, and a flow‑based decoder produces high‑quality audio. Experiments demonstrate that PitchFlower matches DSP baselines in pitch accuracy, surpasses state‑of‑the‑art neural codecs in audio quality, and remains robust even when trained on WORLD‑transformed audio, effectively removing vocoder artifacts.

arXiv:2606. 07015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While song generation and singing voice conversion (SVC) have evolved significantly, they have long been developed isolated: the former lacks zero-shot speaker cloning, while the latter overlooks vocal-accompaniment synergy.
