Details

To generate the Motif, the first step of music creation, we introduce research that focuses on generating Loops of 4 to 8 measures rather than an entire song. Data is processed using a Binary Representation that quantizes MIDI data into sixteenth-note units.

To reflect the repetitive patterns of music, a One-class Loop Detector was designed. Using anomaly detection principles based on Deep SVDD, it learns the structural rules of music and demonstrates performance in determining whether something is a loop.

The generative model adopts an approach where VQ-VAE compresses the loop set, and the compressed Discrete Latent Code is modeled with an LSTM. This allows the loop, the core skeleton of music, to be represented in a finite space.

Performance evaluation results showed superior performance in terms of sample fidelity and diversity compared to Music Transformer or MuseGAN, and positive results were also obtained in human listening tests.
