AbstractIn this paper, we introduce Jointist, an instrument-aware multi-instrument framework that is capable of transcribing, recognizing, and separating multiple musical instruments from an audio clip. Jointist consists of an instrument recognition module that conditions the other two modules: a transcription module that outputs instrument-specific piano rolls, and a source separation module that utilizes instrument information and transcription results. The joint training of the transcription and source separation modules serves to improve the performance of both tasks. The instrument module is optional and can be directly controlled by human users. This makes Jointist a flexible user-controllable framework.
Our challenging problem formulation makes the model highly useful in the real world given that modern popular music typically consists of multiple instruments. Its novelty, however, necessitates a new perspective on how to evaluate such a model. In our experiments, we assess the proposed model from various aspects, providing a new evaluation perspective for multi-instrument transcription. Our subjective listening study shows that Jointist achieves state-of-the-art performance on popular music, outperforming existing multi-instrument transcription models such as MT3. %We also argue that transcription models can be used as a preprocessing module for other music analysis tasks. We conducted experiments on several downstream tasks and found that the proposed method improved transcription by more than 1 percentage points (ppt.), source separation by 5 SDR, downbeat detection by 1.8 ppt., chord recognition by 1.4 ppt., and key estimation by 1.4 ppt., when utilizing transcription results obtained from Jointist.
