About
MusicGen is a text-to-music model capable of genreating high-quality music samples conditioned on text descriptions or audio prompts. It is a single stage auto-regressive Transformer model trained over a 32kHz EnCodec tokenizer with 4 codebooks sampled at 50 Hz. Unlike existing methods, like MusicLM, MusicGen doesn't require a self-supervised semantic representation, and it generates all 4 codebooks in one pass. By introducing a small delay between the codebooks, we show we can predict them in parallel, thus having only 50 auto-regressive steps per second of audio.
MusicGen was published in Simple and Controllable Music Generation by Jade Copet, Felix Kreuk, Itai Gat, Tal Remez, David Kant, Gabriel Synnaeve, Yossi Adi, Alexandre Défossez.

You can run MusicGen locally with the 🤗 Transformers library from version 4.31.0 onwards.
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade transformers scipy
Text-to-Audio (TTA) pipeline. You can infer the MusicGen model via the TTA pipeline in just a few lines of code!from transformers import pipeline
import scipy
synthesiser = pipeline("text-to-audio", "facebook/musicgen-medium")
music = synthesiser("lo-fi music with a soothing melody", forward_params={"do_sample": True})
scipy.io.wavfile.write("musicgen_out.wav", rate=music["sampling_rate"], data=music["audio"])
from transformers import AutoProcessor, MusicgenForConditionalGeneration
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/musicgen-medium")
model = MusicgenForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/musicgen-medium")
inputs = processor(
text=["80s pop track with bassy drums and synth", "90s rock song with loud guitars and heavy drums"],
padding=True,
return_tensors="pt",
)
audio_values = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
from IPython.display import Audio
sampling_rate = model.config.audio_encoder.sampling_rate
Audio(audio_values[0].numpy(), rate=sampling_rate)
Or save them as a .wav file using a third-party library, e.g. scipy:
import scipy
sampling_rate = model.config.audio_encoder.sampling_rate
scipy.io.wavfile.write("musicgen_out.wav", rate=sampling_rate, data=audio_values[0, 0].numpy())
For more details on using the MusicGen model for inference using the 🤗 Transformers library, refer to the MusicGen docs.
You can also run MusicGen locally through the original [Audiocraft library]((https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft):
audiocraft librarypip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft.git
ffmpeg installed:apt-get install ffmpeg
from audiocraft.models import MusicGen
from audiocraft.data.audio import audio_write
model = MusicGen.get_pretrained("medium")
model.set_generation_params(duration=8) # generate 8 seconds.
descriptions = ["happy rock", "energetic EDM"]
wav = model.generate(descriptions) # generates 2 samples.
for idx, one_wav in enumerate(wav):
# Will save under {idx}.wav, with loudness normalization at -14 db LUFS.
audio_write(f'{idx}', one_wav.cpu(), model.sample_rate, strategy="loudness")
Organization developing the model: The FAIR team of Meta AI.
Model date: MusicGen was trained between April 2023 and May 2023.
Model version: This is the version 1 of the model.
Model type: MusicGen consists of an EnCodec model for audio tokenization, an auto-regressive language model based on the transformer architecture for music modeling. The model comes in different sizes: 300M, 1.5B and 3.3B parameters ; and two variants: a model trained for text-to-music generation task and a model trained for melody-guided music generation.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys musicgen-medium for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (musicgen-medium below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="musicgen-medium" -F file=@audio.mp3
