tasty-musicgen-small is a [musicgen-small](https://huggingface.co/facebook/musicgen-small) fine-tuned on a [patched version](https://github.com/matteospanio/taste-music-dataset) of the [Taste & Affect Music Database](https://osf.io/2cqa5/).
It generates music that's supposed to induce gustatory synesthesia perceptions based on multimodal research. It generates mono audio in 32khz.
## Code and Dataset
Code and the dataset used to train this model are available at: https://osf.io/xs5jy/.
## How to use
Here is a showcase on how to use the model with the transformer library, it is also possible to make inference with the audiocraft library, for a detailed explanation we suggest to read the [official MusicGEN guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/musicgen) by Hugging Face
```python
from transformers import pipeline
import scipy
synthesiser = pipeline("text-to-audio", "csc-unipd/tasty-musicgen-small")
music = synthesiser("sweet music for fine restaurents", forward_params={"do_sample": True})
scipy.io.wavfile.write("musicgen_out.wav", rate=music["sampling_rate"], data=music["audio"])
```
