PitchFlower: A flow-based neural audio codec with pitch controllability
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →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.
