These operations include updating the state information for the multiple resonator models based on the sample amplitude. The operations also include determining respective resonator amplitudes and phases for the updated multiple resonator models and storing, respective resonator amplitude and change-in-phase information for the sample.

Generative Music from Human Audio

The technology can use a music generation platform to ingest raw audio to generate multi-level music (i.e., multiple streams corresponding to different instruments) based on user steerings, such as genre, artist, style, etc. Implementations can apply an encoder to take the raw audio and generate a sequence of discrete representations. Implementations can then input the sequence of discrete representations to an embedding layer that converts the sequence of discrete representations to sequences of embeddings in the same dimensionality, which are summed together to form a single sequence. The sequence of summed embeddings can be provided to a neural network that produces sequences of predicted embeddings for multiple instruments, which are then used by a coder layer to generate instrument-specific code sequences. Implementations can input the instrument-specific code sequences to a decoder, which can also receive the user steerings, and convert them into Mel spectrograms, then instrument-specific audio waveforms.
