Abstract: In this paper, we pose the current state-of-the-art voice conversion (VC) systems as two-encoder-one-decoder models. After comparing these models, we combine the best features and propose Assem-VC, a new state-of-the-art any-to-many non-parallel VC system. This paper also introduces the GTA finetuning in VC, which significantly improves the quality and the speaker similarity of the outputs. Assem-VC outperforms the previous state-of-the-art approaches in both the naturalness and the speaker similarity on the VCTK dataset. As an objective result, the degree of speaker disentanglement of features such as phonetic posteriorgrams (PPG) is also explored. Our investigation indicates that many-to-many VC results are no longer distinct from human speech and similar quality can be achieved with any-to-many models.

Abstract: We propose a singing decomposition system that encodes time-aligned linguistic content, pitch, and source speaker identity via Assem-VC. With decomposed speaker-independent information and the target speaker's embedding, we could synthesize the singing voice of the target speaker. In conclusion, we made a perfectly synced duet with the user's singing voice and the target singer's converted singing voice.
This repository was tested with following environment:
- Python 3.6.8
- PyTorch 1.4.0
- PyTorch Lightning 1.0.3
- The requirements are highlighted in requirements.txt.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mindslab-ai/assem-vc
cd assem-vc- To reproduce the results from our paper, you need to download:
- LibriTTS train-clean-100 split tar.gz link
- VCTK dataset (Version 0.80)
- Unzip each files, and clone them in
datasets/. - Resample them into 22.05kHz using
datasets/resample.py.Note thatpython datasets/resample.py
dataset/resample.pywas hard-coded to remove original wavfiles indatasets/and replace them into resampled wavfiles, and their filename*.wavwill be transformed into*-22k.wav. - You can use
datasets/resample_delete.shinstead ofdatasets/resample.py. It does the same role.
Following a format from NVIDIA/tacotron2, the metadata should be formatted like:
path_to_wav|transcription|speaker_id
path_to_wav|transcription|speaker_id
...
When you want to learn and inference using phoneme, the transcription should have only unstressed ARPABET.
Metadata containing ARPABET for LibriTTS train-clean-100 split and VCTK corpus are already prepared at datasets/metadata.
If you wish to use custom data, you need to make the metadata as shown above.
When converting transcription of metadata into ARPABET, you can use datasets/g2p.py.
python datasets/g2p.py -i <input_metadata_filename_with_graphemes> -o <output_filename>Training our VC system is consisted of two steps: (1) training Cotatron, (2) training VC decoder on top of Cotatron.
There are three yaml files in the config folder, which are configuration template for each model.
They must be edited to match your training requirements (dataset, metadata, etc.).
cp config/global/default.yaml config/global/config.yaml
cp config/cota/default.yaml config/cota/config.yaml
cp config/vc/default.yaml config/vc/config.yamlHere, all files with name other than default.yaml will be ignored from git (see .gitignore).
config/global: Global configs that are both used for training Cotatron & VC decoder.- Fill in the blanks of:
speakers,train_dir,train_meta,val_dir,val_meta,f0s_list_path. - Example of speaker id list is shown in
datasets/metadata/libritts_vctk_speaker_list.txt. - When replicating the two-stage training process from our paper (training with LibriTTS and then LibriTTS+VCTK), please put both list of speaker ids from LibriTTS and VCTK at global config.
f0s_list_pathis set tof0s.txtby default
- Fill in the blanks of:
config/cota: Configs for training Cotatron.- You may want to change:
batch_sizefor GPUs other than 32GB V100, or changechkpt_dirto save checkpoints in other disk. - You can also modify
use_attn_loss, whether guided attention loss is used or not.
- You may want to change:
config/vc: Configs for training VC decoder.- Fill in the blank of:
cotatron_path.
- Fill in the blank of:
Before you train VC decoder, you should extract pitch range of each speaker:
python preprocess.py -c <path_to_global_config_yaml>Result will be saved at f0s.txt.
Currently, the training speed via multi-GPU setting may be slow due to the version issue of pytorch lightning. If you want to train faster, see this issue.
To train the Cotatron, run this command:
python cotatron_trainer.py -c <path_to_global_config_yaml> <path_to_cotatron_config_yaml> \
-g <gpus> -n <run_name>Here are some example commands that might help you understand the arguments:
# train from scratch with name "my_runname"
python cotatron_trainer.py -c config/global/config.yaml config/cota/config.yaml \
-g 0 -n my_runnameOptionally, you can resume the training from previously saved checkpoint by adding -p <checkpoint_path> argument.
After the Cotatron is sufficiently trained (i.e., producing stable alignment + converged loss), the VC decoder can be trained on top of it.
python synthesizer_trainer.py -c <path_to_global_config_yaml> <path_to_vc_config_yaml> \
-g <gpus> -n <run_name>The optional checkpoint argument is also available for VC decoder.
Once the VC decoder is trained, finetune the HiFi-GAN with GTA finetuning. First, you should extract GTA mel-spectrograms from VC decoder.
python gta_extractor.py -c <path_to_global_config_yaml> <path_to_vc_config_yaml> \
-p <checkpoint_path>The GTA mel-spectrograms calculated from audio file will be saved as **.wav.gta at first,
and then loaded from disk afterwards.
Train/validation metadata of GTA mels will be saved in datasets/gta_metadata/gta_<orignal_metadata_name>.txt.
You should use those metadata when finetuning HiFi-GAN.
After extracting GTA mels, get into hifi-gan and follow manuals in hifi-gan/README.md
cd hifi-ganThe progress of training with loss values and validation output can be monitored with tensorboard.
By default, the logs will be stored at logs/cota or logs/vc, which can be modified by editing log.log_dir parameter at config yaml file.
tensorboard --log_dir logs/cota --bind_all # Cotatron - Scalars, Images, Hparams, Projector will be shown.
tensorboard --log_dir logs/vc --bind_all # VC decoder - Scalars, Images, Hparams will be shown.We provide pretrained model of Assem-VC and GTA-finetuned HiFi-GAN generator weight. Assem-VC was trained with VCTK and LibriTTS, and HiFi-GAN was finetuned with VCTK.
- Download our published models and configurations.
- Place
global/config.yamlatconfig/global/config.yaml, andvc/config.yamlatconfig/vc/config.yaml - Download
f0s.txtand write the relative path of it athp.data.f0s_list_path. (Default path isf0s.txt) - write path of pretrained Assem-VC and HiFi-GAN models in inference.ipynb.
After the VC decoder and HiFi-GAN are trained, you can use an arbitrary speaker's speech as the source. You can convert it to speaker contained in trainset: which is any-to-many voice conversion.
- Add your source audio(.wav) in
datasets/inference_source - Add following lines at
datasets/inference_source/metadata_origin.txtNote that speaker_id has no effect whether or not it is in the training set.your_audio.wav|transcription|speaker_id - Convert
datasets/inference_source/metadata_origin.txtinto ARPABET.python datasets/g2p.py -i datasets/inference_source/metadata_origin.txt \ -o datasets/inference_source/metadata_g2p.txt - Run inference.ipynb
We provide three samples including single TTS sample from VITS demo page for source audio.
Note that source speech should be clean and the volume should not be too low.
Disclaimer: We used an open-source g2p system in this repository, which is different from the proprietary g2p mentioned in the paper. Hence, the quality of the result may differ from the paper.
Here are some noteworthy details of implementation, which could not be included in our paper due to the lack of space:
- Guided attention loss
We applied guided attention loss proposed in DC-TTS. It helped Cotatron's alignment learning stable and faster convergence. See modules/alignment_loss.py.
