Pop2Piano : Pop Audio-based Piano Cover Generation
share
The piano cover of pop music is widely enjoyed by people. However, the generation task of the pop piano cover is still understudied. This is partly due to the lack of synchronized Pop, Piano Cover data pairs, which made it challenging to apply the latest data-intensive deep learning-based methods. To leverage the power of the data-driven approach, we make a large amount of paired and synchronized pop, piano cover data using an automated pipeline. In this paper, we present Pop2Piano, a Transformer network that generates piano covers given waveforms of pop music. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first model to directly generate a piano cover from pop audio without melody and chord extraction modules. We show that Pop2Piano trained with our dataset can generate plausible piano covers.
