Description:
ultrastarpitch 1.0.1
ultrastar_pitch
This python application automates the pitch detection for ultrastar deluxe projects.
usage
The software can be used with user interface or as command line application. The windows binary automatically starts as a graphical user application.
For cli execution, just run the command in your project folder. Additional flags are listed below. If the usdx file is named "notes.txt", no arguments are needed. Otherwise it has to be explicitly stated:
ultrastar-pitch name.txt
If everything went well a new file "notes_new.txt" should appear. In case a different output name is desired, it can be changed with the "-o" flag:
ultrastar-pitch -o name_new.txt
spleeter
The spleeter project uses deep learning to separate the vocal- and instrumental part of a song. In some cases (mainly acoustic songs), ultrastar-pitch performs better with the isolated vocal data. In other cases, its accuracy drops due to the introduced artifacts / information loss.
In order to use spleeter with ultrastar-pitch, a couple of steps need to be performed:
spleeter produces multiple outputs. The vocals.wav file needs to be placed in the same directory as the notes.txt file.
in the notes.txt file the "#MP3" tag needs to be changed, that it refers to the vocal file (e.g. "#MP3:vocals.wav").
after running ultrastar-pitch, the "#MP3" tag needs to be reverted back
installation
If you are using the binary, everything should run out of the box.
In case of an error, try to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64 (2010+2015).
If you want to use the python application do the following:
windows
Install the newest version of Python 3
Install the newest build of ffmpeg
Open CMD/Powershell and type:
pip install ultrastar-pitch
linux (debian)
Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip ffmpeg
pip install ultrastar-pitch
flags
Command line options for nono graphical execution:
flag
description
-h
show this help message and exit
-o
specify output file name
-g
enable graphical user interface
-m
disable stochastic postprocessing
-a
show prediction accuracy (debug flag)
-l
set logging level (debug flag)
developer information
build instructions (windows only)
The software can be compiled into a single standalone binary. To achieve this, an additional package has to be installed.
pip install pyinstaller
To include ffmpeg into the binary, it needs to be placed as specified by the setup.spec file. The default would be "ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" within the project root directory.
The building process is fairly easy. Just execute the following command within the cmd/powershell:
pyinstaller setup.spec
implementation
The software takes a timed usdx project file and the corresponding audio file. The song is converted into a mono wav and gets split into the predefined audio segments. These chunks are divided into blocks to be transformed into features. The output is then fed into a neuronal network to determine the pitches. Statistical postprocessing is used to determine pseudo key of the song. The predicted pitches are reevaluated to match the pseudo key.
The deep learning model was trained on a large karaoke database. Details for building your own model can be found in the dev/ folder.
accuracy
The precision of this method changes greatly with the analyzed audio. For example a ballad with slow background music and a strong female voice can get an accuracy of over 90%, while a rock song with loud background music and a rough male voice can drop below 30%.
api
The software consists of various modules:
module
description
ProjectParser
parse note.txt project file for singable audio segments
AudioPreprocessor
transform audio segments into features for pitch detection
PitchClassifier
predict pitches from features
StochasticPostprocessor
increase prediction accuracy by applying stochastics
DetectionPipeline
execute the models above in one pipeline
Each modules can be used in your own project. Just import them like this:
from ultrastar_pitch import module
