TART is a modular four‑stage pipeline that transcribes guitar audio into tablature, addressing key limitations of existing systems such as missing expressive techniques, incorrect string‑fret assignments, and poor performance on noisy recordings. The stages include an audio‑to‑MIDI model, an expressive technique classifier, an audio‑conditioned T5 encoder‑decoder for string‑fret mapping, and an automated tablature generator. In zero‑shot evaluations on GuitarSet, EGDB, and noisy variants, TART outperforms prior baselines with significant gains in audio‑to‑MIDI, string‑fret, and end‑to‑end tablature metrics.
arXiv:2607. 18303v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Identifying which string produces a given pitch in monophonic electric guitar audio is a fundamental classification challenge: a single pitch can often be produced on multiple strings at different fret positions, with timbral differences that prior listening studies confirm are largely imperceptible to untrained humans.

arXiv:2607. 23395v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music Source Separation (MSS), the task of recovering individual sound components (stems) from a polyphonic mixture, is central to applications ranging from karaoke and remixing to audio restoration and content production.
The paper introduces a lightweight technique to steer the pitch content of audio generated by the Stable Audio Open diffusion model. A small convolutional probe (~125k parameters) is trained to decode frame‑level pitch‑class activations from the model’s latent space using paired audio and MIDI data. During inference, the frozen probe acts as a differentiable loss, guiding generation toward a user‑specified pitch‑class sequence without retraining the base model, and improves melodic coherence by 2.4× over the unguided baseline.
