Vocos: Closing the gap between time-domain and Fourier-based neural vocoders for high-quality audio synthesis

Audio samples | Paper [abs] [pdf]

Vocos is a fast neural vocoder designed to synthesize audio waveforms from acoustic features. Trained using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) objective, Vocos can generate waveforms in a single forward pass. Unlike other typical GAN-based vocoders, Vocos does not model audio samples in the time domain. Instead, it generates spectral coefficients, facilitating rapid audio reconstruction through inverse Fourier transform.

Installation

To use Vocos only in inference mode, install it using:

pip install vocos

If you wish to train the model, install it with additional dependencies:

pip install vocos[train]

Usage

Reconstruct audio from EnCodec tokens

Additionally, you need to provide a bandwidth_id which corresponds to the embedding for bandwidth from the list: [1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0].

vocos = Vocos.from_pretrained("charactr/vocos-encodec-24khz")

audio_tokens = torch.randint(low=0, high=1024, size=(8, 200))  # 8 codeboooks, 200 frames
features = vocos.codes_to_features(audio_tokens)
bandwidth_id = torch.tensor([2])  # 6 kbps

audio = vocos.decode(features, bandwidth_id=bandwidth_id)

Copy-synthesis from a file: It extracts and quantizes features with EnCodec, then reconstructs them with Vocos in a single forward pass.

y, sr = torchaudio.load(YOUR_AUDIO_FILE)
if y.size(0) > 1:  # mix to mono
    y = y.mean(dim=0, keepdim=True)
y = torchaudio.functional.resample(y, orig_freq=sr, new_freq=24000)

y_hat = vocos(y, bandwidth_id=bandwidth_id)
