Synthesis and editing of multi-instrument audio mixtures using scalar-quantised latents with MIDI Span conditioning

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

SpanSynth-Edit is a flow‑matching model that enables MIDI‑guided synthesis and editing of multi‑instrument audio mixtures using low‑frame‑rate scalar‑quantised latents. It encodes instrument‑labelled note lifecycles as unordered event sets, pools them into a conditioning vector per audio‑latent frame, and uses contextual audio for instrument‑specific timbre guidance. The model supports editing by resynthesising target regions from revised MIDI and demonstrates competitive performance on single‑ and multi‑instrument benchmarks, including within‑frame onset control.

CPR: Combining global composing, local performing and full-sequence refining in piano rendering with continuous autoregressive modelling

The paper introduces CPR, a piano rendering framework that combines continuous autoregressive modeling with local flow matching and full‑sequence refinement. It predicts continuous hidden states, generates 24 kHz acoustic latents, and upsamples to 48 kHz, while new techniques BREPA and MT‑RoPE enhance musical semantics and cross‑modal alignment.

A Production-Oriented Framework for Evaluation of SFX Generation

arXiv:2607. 09973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial sound design requires audio generation systems that not only produce realistic audio, but also preserve the perceptual identity of a reference, support controllable variation, and remain efficient for practical workflows.
