MusicGen-Chord: Advancing Music Generation through Chord Progressions and Interactive Web-UI

MusicGen is a music generation language model (LM) that can be conditioned on textual descriptions and melodic features. We introduce <PRE_TAG>MusicGen-Chord</POST_TAG>, which extends this capability by incorporating chord progression features. This model modifies one-hot encoded melody chroma vectors into multi-hot encoded chord chroma vectors, enabling the generation of music that reflects both chord progressions and textual descriptions. Furthermore, we developed <PRE_TAG>MusicGen-Remixer</POST_TAG>, an application utilizing <PRE_TAG>MusicGen-Chord</POST_TAG> to generate remixes of input music conditioned on textual descriptions. Both models are integrated into Replicate's web-UI using cog, facilitating broad accessibility and user-friendly controllable interaction for creating and experiencing AI-generated music.
