MusicGen is a music generation language model (LM) that can be conditioned on textual descriptions and melodic features. We introduce MusicGen-Chord, which extends this capability by incorporating chord progression features. This model modifies one-hot encoded melody chroma vectors into multi-hot encoded chord chroma vectors, enabling the generation of music that reflects both chord progressions and textual descriptions. Furthermore, we developed MusicGen-Remixer, an application utilizing MusicGen-Chord to generate remixes of input music conditioned on textual descriptions. Both models are integrated into Replicate’s web-UI using cog, facilitating broad accessibility and user-friendly controllable interaction for creating and experiencing AI-generated music.
