Usage for Python

Available functions:

• analyze()
• load_result()
• visualize()
• sonify()

analyze()

Analyzes the provided audio files and returns the analysis results.

import allin1

# You can analyze a single file:
result = allin1.analyze('your_audio_file.wav')

# Or multiple files:
results = allin1.analyze(['your_audio_file1.wav', 'your_audio_file2.mp3'])

A result is a dataclass instance containing:

AnalysisResult(
  path='/path/to/your_audio_file.wav', 
  bpm=100,
  beats=[0.33, 0.75, 1.14, ...],
  beat_positions=[1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, ...],
  downbeats=[0.33, 1.94, 3.53, ...], 
  segments=[
    Segment(start=0.0, end=0.33, label='start'), 
    Segment(start=0.33, end=13.13, label='intro'), 
    Segment(start=13.13, end=37.53, label='chorus'), 
    Segment(start=37.53, end=51.53, label='verse'), 
    Segment(start=51.53, end=64.34, label='verse'), 
    Segment(start=64.34, end=89.93, label='chorus'), 
    Segment(start=89.93, end=105.93, label='bridge'), 
    Segment(start=105.93, end=134.74, label='chorus'), 
    Segment(start=134.74, end=153.95, label='chorus'), 
    Segment(start=153.95, end=154.67, label='end'),
  ]),

  Analysis results for the provided audio files.

load_result()

Loads the analysis results from the disk.

result = allin1.load_result('./struct/24k_Magic.json')

visualize()

Visualizes the analysis results.

fig = allin1.visualize(result)
fig.show()

Parameters:

• result : Union[AnalysisResult, List[AnalysisResult]]
  List of analysis results or a single analysis result to be visualized.

• out_dir : PathLike (optional)
  Path to the directory where the visualizations will be saved. By default, the visualizations will not be saved.

Returns:

• Union[Figure, List[Figure]] List of figures or a single figure containing the visualizations. Figure is a class from matplotlib.pyplot.

sonify()

Sonifies the analysis results. It will mix metronome clicks for beats and downbeats, and event sounds for segment boundaries to the original audio file.

y, sr = allin1.sonify(result)
# y: sonified audio with shape (channels=2, samples)
# sr: sampling rate (=44100)

Parameters:

• result : Union[AnalysisResult, List[AnalysisResult]]
  List of analysis results or a single analysis result to be sonified.
• out_dir : PathLike (optional)
  Path to the directory where the sonifications will be saved. By default, the sonifications will not be saved.

Returns:

• Union[Tuple[NDArray, float], List[Tuple[NDArray, float]]]
  List of tuples or a single tuple containing the sonified audio and the sampling rate.

Visualization & Sonification

This package provides a simple visualization (-v or --visualize) and sonification (-s or --sonify) function for the analysis results.

allin1 -v -s your_audio_file.wav

The visualizations will be saved in the ./viz directory by default:

./viz
└── your_audio_file.pdf

The sonifications will be saved in the ./sonif directory by default:

./sonif
└── your_audio_file.sonif.wav

For example, a visualization looks like this:

You can try it at Hugging Face Space.

Available Models

The models are trained on the Harmonix Set with 8-fold cross-validation. For more details, please refer to the paper.

• harmonix-all: (Default) An ensemble model averaging the predictions of 8 models trained on each fold.
• harmonix-foldN: A model trained on fold N (0~7). For example, harmonix-fold0 is trained on fold 0.

By default, the harmonix-all model is used. To use a different model, use the --model option:

allin1 --model harmonix-fold0 your_audio_file.wav

Speed

With an RTX 4090 GPU and Intel i9-10940X CPU (14 cores, 28 threads, 3.30 GHz), the harmonix-all model processed 10 songs (33 minutes) in 73 seconds.

Advanced Usage for Research

This package provides researchers with advanced options to extract frame-level raw activations and embeddings without post-processing. These have a resolution of 100 FPS, equivalent to 0.01 seconds per frame.

CLI

Activations

The --activ option also saves frame-level raw activations from sigmoid and softmax:

$ allin1 --activ your_audio_file.wav

You can find the activations in the .npz file:

./struct
└── your_audio_file1.json
└── your_audio_file1.activ.npz

To load the activations in Python:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> activ = np.load('./struct/your_audio_file1.activ.npz')
>>> activ.files
['beat', 'downbeat', 'segment', 'label']
>>> beat_activations = activ['beat']
>>> downbeat_activations = activ['downbeat']
>>> segment_boundary_activations = activ['segment']
>>> segment_label_activations = activ['label']

Details of the activations are as follows:

• beat: Raw activations from the sigmoid layer for beat tracking (shape: [time_steps])
• downbeat: Raw activations from the sigmoid layer for downbeat tracking (shape: [time_steps])
• segment: Raw activations from the sigmoid layer for segment boundary detection (shape: [time_steps])
• label: Raw activations from the softmax layer for segment labeling (shape: [label_class=10, time_steps])

You can access the label names as follows:

>>> allin1.HARMONIX_LABELS
['start',
 'end',
 'intro',
 'outro',
 'break',
 'bridge',
 'inst',
 'solo',
 'verse',
 'chorus']

Embeddings

This package also provides an option to extract raw embeddings from the model.

$ allin1 --embed your_audio_file.wav

You can find the embeddings in the .npy file:

./struct
└── your_audio_file1.json
└── your_audio_file1.embed.npy

To load the embeddings in Python:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> embed = np.load('your_audio_file1.embed.npy')

Each model embeds for every source-separated stem per time step, resulting in embeddings shaped as [stems=4, time_steps, embedding_size=24]:

1. The number of source-separated stems (the order is bass, drums, other, vocals).
2. The number of time steps (frames). The time step is 0.01 seconds (100 FPS).
3. The embedding size of 24.

Using the --embed option with the harmonix-all ensemble model will stack the embeddings, saving them with the shape [stems=4, time_steps, embedding_size=24, models=8].

Python

The Python API allin1.analyze() offers the same options as the CLI:

>>> allin1.analyze(
      paths='your_audio_file.wav',
      include_activations=True,
      include_embeddings=True,
    )

AnalysisResult(
  path='/path/to/your_audio_file.wav', 
  bpm=100, 
  beats=[...],
  downbeats=[...],
  segments=[...],
  activations={
    'beat': array(...), 
    'downbeat': array(...), 
    'segment': array(...), 
    'label': array(...)
  }, 
  embeddings=array(...),
)

Concerning MP3 Files

Due to variations in decoders, MP3 files can have slight offset differences. I recommend you to first convert your audio files to WAV format using FFmpeg (as shown below), and use the WAV files for all your data processing pipelines.

ffmpeg -i your_audio_file.mp3 your_audio_file.wav

In this package, audio files are read using Demucs. To my understanding, Demucs converts MP3 files to WAV using FFmpeg before reading them. However, using a different MP3 decoder can yield different offsets. I've observed variations of about 20~40ms, which is problematic for tasks requiring precise timing like beat tracking, where the conventional tolerance is just 70ms. Hence, I advise standardizing inputs to the WAV format for all data processing, ensuring straightforward decoding.
