YourMT3+ Local Setup Guide

🚀 Quick Start (Local Installation)

1. Install Dependencies

pip install torch torchaudio transformers gradio pytorch-lightning einops numpy librosa

2. Setup Model Weights

• Download YourMT3 model weights
• Place them in: amt/logs/2024/
• Default expected: mc13_256_g4_all_v7_mt3f_sqr_rms_moe_wf4_n8k2_silu_rope_rp_b36_nops@last.ckpt

3. Run Setup Check

cd /path/to/YourMT3
python setup_local.py

4. Quick Test

python test_local.py

5. Launch Web Interface

python app.py

Then open: http://127.0.0.1:7860

🎯 New Features

Instrument Conditioning

• Problem: YourMT3+ switches instruments mid-track (vocals → violin → guitar)
• Solution: Select target instrument from dropdown
• Options: Auto, Vocals, Guitar, Piano, Violin, Drums, Bass, Saxophone, Flute

How It Works

1. Upload audio or paste YouTube URL
2. Select instrument from dropdown menu
3. Click Transcribe
4. Get focused transcription without instrument confusion

🔧 Troubleshooting

"Unknown event type: transcribe_singing"

This is expected! The error indicates your model doesn't have special task tokens, which is normal. The system will:

1. Try task tokens (may fail - that's OK)
2. Fall back to post-processing filtering
3. Still give you better results

Debug Output

Look for these messages in console:

=== TRANSCRIBE FUNCTION CALLED ===
Audio file: /path/to/audio.wav
Instrument hint: vocals

=== INSTRUMENT CONDITIONING ACTIVATED ===
Model Task Configuration Debug:
✓ Model has task_manager
  Task name: mc13_full_plus_256
  Available subtask prefixes: ['default']

=== APPLYING INSTRUMENT FILTER ===
Found instruments in transcription: {0: 45, 100: 123, 40: 12}
Primary instrument: 100 (73% of notes)
Target program for vocals: 100
Converted 57 notes to primary instrument 100

Common Issues

1. Import Errors

pip install torch torchaudio transformers gradio pytorch-lightning

2. Model Not Found

• Download model weights to amt/logs/2024/
• Check filename matches exactly

3. No Audio Examples

• Place test audio files in examples/ folder
• Supported formats: .wav, .mp3

4. Port Already in Use

• Web interface runs on port 7860
• If busy, it will try 7861, 7862, etc.

📊 Expected Results

Before (Original YourMT3+)

• Vocals file → outputs: vocals + violin + guitar tracks
• Saxophone solo → incomplete transcription
• Flute solo → single note only

After (With Instrument Conditioning)

• Select "Vocals/Singing" → clean vocal transcription only
• Select "Saxophone" → complete saxophone solo
• Select "Flute" → full flute transcription

🛠️ Advanced Usage

Command Line

python transcribe_cli.py audio.wav --instrument vocals --verbose

Python API

from model_helper import transcribe, load_model_checkpoint

# Load model
model = load_model_checkpoint(args=model_args, device="cuda")

# Transcribe with instrument conditioning
midifile = transcribe(model, audio_info, instrument_hint="vocals")

Confidence Tuning

• High confidence (0.8): Strict instrument filtering
• Low confidence (0.4): Allows more mixed content
• Auto-adjusts based on task token availability

📝 Files Modified

• app.py - Added instrument dropdown to web interface
• model_helper.py - Enhanced transcription with conditioning
• transcribe_cli.py - New command-line interface
• setup_local.py - Local setup checker
• test_local.py - Quick functionality test
