Experimental GAN for Bach-like Textures

Description

This repository contains an experimental Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model designed to generate Bach-like textures. The model is based on the Aligned Bach Chorales Dataset, available at this link.

Model Overview

The GAN consists of two parts: a generator and a discriminator. Both models were trained on the Aligned Bach Chorales Dataset, which represents Bach chorales in a binary matrix format.

Installation and Requirements

To use this model, you need to have PyTorch version 2.1.0+cu121 installed. You can install PyTorch by following the instructions on the official website.

Usage

Clone the Repository:

git clone [repository URL]

Load the Models:

Use torch.load() to load the provided state dictionaries for both the generator and the discriminator.

Convert Binary Matrices to MIDI:

Utilize the binary_to_midi notebook included in this repository to convert the binary matrices generated by the GAN into MIDI format.

Dataset

The dataset used for training this model can be found in the folder named "np_convert". This folder contains binary representations of Bach chorales.
