Basic-pitch: A Lightweight Yet Powerful Audio-to-MIDI Converter

Basic Pitch

Basic Pitch is a Python library for Automatic Music Transcription (AMT), using lightweight neural network developed by Spotify's Audio Intelligence Lab. It's small, easy-to-use, pip install-able and npm install-able via its sibling repo.

Basic Pitch may be simple, but it's is far from "basic"! basic-pitch is efficient and easy to use, and its multipitch support, its ability to generalize across instruments, and its note accuracy competes with much larger and more resource-hungry AMT systems.

Provide a compatible audio file and basic-pitch will generate a MIDI file, complete with pitch bends. Basic pitch is instrument-agnostic and supports polyphonic instruments, so you can freely enjoy transcription of all your favorite music, no matter what instrument is used. Basic pitch works best on one instrument at a time.

Research Paper

This library was released in conjunction with Spotify's publication at ICASSP 2022. You can read more about this research in the paper, A Lightweight Instrument-Agnostic Model for Polyphonic Note Transcription and Multipitch Estimation.

Demo

If, for whatever reason, you're not yet completely inspired, or you're just like so totally over the general vibe and stuff, checkout our snappy demo website, basicpitch.io, to experiment with our model on whatever music audio you provide!

Installation

basic-pitch is available via PyPI. To install the current release:

pip install basic-pitch

To update Basic Pitch to the latest version, add --upgrade to the above command.

Compatible Environments:

• MacOS, Windows and Ubuntu operating systems
• Python versions 3.7, 3.8, 3.9

Usage

Model Prediction

Command Line Tool

This library offers a command line tool interface. A basic prediction command will generate and save a MIDI file transcription of audio at the <input-audio-path> to the <output-directory>:

basic-pitch <output-directory> <input-audio-path>

To process more than one audio file at a time:

basic-pitch <output-directory> <input-audio-path-1> <input-audio-path-2> <input-audio-path-3>

Optionally, you may append any of the following flags to your prediction command to save additional formats of the prediction output to the <output-directory>:

• --sonify-midi to additionally save a .wav audio rendering of the MIDI file
• --save-model-outputs to additionally save raw model outputs as an NPZ file
• --save-note-events to additionally save the predicted note events as a CSV file

To discover more parameter control, run:

basic-pitch --help

Programmatic

predict()

Import basic-pitch into your own Python code and run the predict functions directly, providing an <input-audio-path> and returning the model's prediction results:

from basic_pitch.inference import predict
from basic_pitch import ICASSP_2022_MODEL_PATH

model_output, midi_data, note_activations = predict(<input-audio-path>)

• <minimum-frequency> & <maximum-frequency> (floats) set the maximum and minimum allowed note frequency, in Hz, returned by the model. Pitch events with frequencies outside of this range will be excluded from the prediction results.
• model_output is the raw model inference output
• midi_data is the transcribed MIDI data derived from the model_output
• note_events is a list of note events derived from the model_output

predict() in a loop

To run prediction within a loop, you'll want to load the model yourself and provide predict() with the loaded model object itself to be used for repeated prediction calls, in order to avoid redundant and sluggish model loading.

import tensorflow as tf

from basic_pitch.inference import predict
from basic_pitch import ICASSP_2022_MODEL_PATH

basic_pitch_model = tf.saved_model.load(str(ICASSP_2022_MODEL_PATH))

for x in range():
    ...
    model_output, midi_data, note_activations = predict(
        <loop-x-input-audio-path>,
        basic_pitch_model,
    )
    ...

predict_and_save()

If you would like basic-pitch orchestrate the generation and saving of our various supported output file types, you may use predict_and_save instead of using predict directly:

from basic_pitch.inference import predict_and_save

predict_and_save(
    <input-audio-path-list>,
    <output-directory>,
    <save-midi>,
    <sonify-midi>,
    <save-model-outputs>,
    <save-note-events>,
)

where:

• <input-audio-path-list> & <output-directory>
  • directory paths for basic-pitch to read from/write to.
• <save-midi>
  • bool to control generating and saving a MIDI file to the <output-directory>
• <sonify-midi>
  • bool to control saving a WAV audio rendering of the MIDI file to the <output-directory>
• <save-model-outputs>
  • bool to control saving the raw model output as a NPZ file to the <output-directory>
• <save-note-events>
  • bool to control saving predicted note events as a CSV file <output-directory>

Model Input

Supported Audio Codecs

basic-pitch accepts all sound files that are compatible with its version of librosa, including:

• .mp3
• .ogg
• .wav
• .flac
• .m4a

Mono Channel Audio Only

While you may use stereo audio as an input to our model, at prediction time, the channels of the input will be down-mixed to mono, and then analyzed and transcribed.

File Size/Audio Length

This model can process any size or length of audio, but processing of larger/longer audio files could be limited by your machine's available disk space. To process these files, we recommend streaming the audio of the file, processing windows of audio at a time.

Sample Rate

Input audio maybe be of any sample rate, however, all audio will be resampled to 22050 Hz before processing.

Is Power BI Actually Useful?

The short answer, for most of you, is no. However, the complexity and capability of the products could be beneficial depending on what type of position or organization you work in.

In my effort to answer this common question about Power BI I researched the following:
– Power BI Desktop Gateway
– Syncing on-prem SQL server data
– Syncing SharePoint Online list data
– Syncing data from an Excel workbook
– Building, and sharing a dashboard
– Inserting a Power BI visualization into PowerPoint

To get in-Depth knowledge on Power BI you can enroll for a live demo on Power BI online training

The feature spread above gave me the opportunity to explore the main features of Power BI which break down as:
– Ingesting data, building a data set
– Creating dashboard or reports with visualizations based on that data

In a nutshell Power BI is a simple concept. You take a data set, and build visualizations that answer questions about that data. For example, how many products have we sold in Category A in the last month? Quarter? Year? Power BI is especially powerful when drilling up or down in time scale.
And there are some interesting ways to visualize that data:
However, there are a number of drawbacks to the current product that prevented me from being able to fold these visualizations into our existing business processes.

1. Integration with PowerPoint is not free. This shocked me.

The most inspiring Power BI demo I saw at a Microsoft event showed a beautiful globe visualization within a PowerPoint presentation. It rendered flawlessly within PowerPoint and was a beautiful, interactive way to explore a geographically disparate data set. I was able to derive conclusions about the sales data displayed without having to look at an old, boring chart.

During the demo, nothing was mentioned about the technology required to make this embedded chart a reality. After looking into the PowerPoint integration I learned that not only was the add-in built by a third party, it was not free, and when I signed up for a free trial the add-in could barely render my Power BI visualization. The data drill up/down functionality was non-existent and not all of the visualizations were supported. Learn more from Power bi online course

2. Only Dashboards can be shared with other users, and cannot be embedded in our organization’s community on SharePoint.

Folks in our organization spent 50% of their time in Outlook, and the rest in SharePoint, OneNote, Excel, Word, and the other applications needed for producing documents, and other work. Adding yet another destination to that list to check on how something is doing was impossible for us. Habits are extremely hard to change, and I see that consistently in our client’s organizations as well.

Because I was not able to fold in the visualizations with the PowerPoint decks we use during meetings, I had to stop presentations in the middle, navigate to Internet Explorer (because the visualizations only render well in that browser), and then go back to PowerPoint once we were done looking at the dashboard.

This broke up the flow of our meetings, and led to more distractions. I also followed up with coworkers after meetings to see if they ever visited the dashboard themselves at their desk. None of them had ever navigated to a dashboard outside of a meeting.

3. The visualizations aren’t actually that great.

Creating visualizations that cover such a wide variety of data sets is difficult. But, the Excel team has been working on this problem for over 15 years. When I import my SharePoint or SQL data to Excel I’m able to create extremely customized Pivot Tables and Charts that show precisely the data I need to see.

I was never able to replicate visualizations from Excel in Power BI, to produce the types of visualizations I actually needed. Excel has the ability to do conditional formatting, and other customizations in charts and tables that is simply not possible with Power BI. Because of how generic the charts are, and the limited customization it looks “cool” without being functional.

In conclusion, if you have spare time and want to explore Power BI for your organization you should. However, if you are seriously thinking about how you can fold this product into your work processes, challenge yourself to build a dashboard and look at it once a week. See if you can keep that up for a month, and then think about how that change affected your work habits and whether the data analysis actually contributed value each time. At least half of you will realize that this gimmicky product is fancy, but not actually useful.
