About

Mustango is an artificial intelligence model specialized in controlled music generation from text. It combines advanced techniques such as latent diffusion models and language architectures to produce musical pieces tailored to precise textual descriptions. The model stands out for its ability to integrate specific musical characteristics, offering great flexibility in composition creation. It is particularly useful for musicians, content creators, or researchers looking to explore new forms of AI-assisted musical expression. Mustango positions itself as an innovative tool for transforming textual ideas into coherent and customizable musical works.

Mustango: Toward Controllable Text-to-Music Generation

Hugging Face Spaces

Meet Mustango, an exciting addition to the vibrant landscape of Multimodal Large Language Models designed for controlled music generation. Mustango leverages Latent Diffusion Model (LDM), Flan-T5, and musical features to do the magic!

🔥 Live demo available on Replicate and HuggingFace.

Quickstart Guide

Generate music from a text prompt:

Python
import IPython
import soundfile as sf
from mustango import Mustango

model = Mustango("declare-lab/mustango")

prompt = "This is a new age piece. There is a flute playing the main melody with a lot of staccato notes. The rhythmic background consists of a medium tempo electronic drum beat with percussive elements all over the spectrum. There is a playful atmosphere to the piece. This piece can be used in the soundtrack of a children's TV show or an advertisement jingle."

music = model.generate(prompt)
sf.write(f"{prompt}.wav", audio, samplerate=16000)
IPython.display.Audio(data=audio, rate=16000)

Installation

Bash
git clone https://github.com/AMAAI-Lab/mustango
cd mustango
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd diffusers
pip install -e .

Datasets

The MusicBench dataset contains 52k music fragments with a rich music-specific text caption.

Training

We use the accelerate package from Hugging Face for multi-gpu training. Run accelerate config from terminal and set up your run configuration by the answering the questions asked.

You can now train Mustango on the MusicBench dataset using:

Bash
accelerate launch train.py \
--text_encoder_name="google/flan-t5-large" \
--scheduler_name="stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1" \
--unet_model_config="configs/diffusion_model_config_munet.json" \
--model_type Mustango --freeze_text_encoder --uncondition_all --uncondition_single \
--drop_sentences --random_pick_text_column --snr_gamma 5 \

The --model_type flag allows to choose either Mustango, or Tango to be trained with the same code. However, do note that you also need to change --unet_model_config to the relevant config: diffusion_model_config_munet for Mustango; diffusion_model_config for Tango.

The arguments --uncondition_all, --uncondition_single, --drop_sentences control the dropout functions as per Section 5.2 in our paper. The argument of --random_pick_text_column allows to randomly pick between two input text prompts - in the case of MusicBench, we pick between ChatGPT rephrased captions and original enhanced MusicCaps prompts, as depicted in Figure 1 in our paper.

Recommended training time from scratch on MusicBench is at least 40 epochs.
