Fine-tuning Midi-Model to sea shanties

Midi event transformer for music generation

• online: huggingface

• online: colab

• online: github

Pretrained model

Download the pretrained model from huggingface and save it in a new folder called checkpoints

Requirements

• pip install -r requirements.txt

Dataset

Download The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Shanty Book, Part I, Sailor Shanties and augment it by:

• python download_shanties.py
• python midi_augmentation.py --input_dir shanties/ --output_dir shanties/augmented/

Fine-tune from checkpoint and save intermediate generations

train.py --resume checkpoints/model.ckpt --data shanties/augmented/ --data-val-split 50 --val-step 32 --max-step 10000 --warmup-step 1000
