🎵 VQ-VAE Timbre Transfer Demo

Transfer the timbre (tone/texture) from one audio source to another while preserving the musical content.

Content: Musical notes/melody that will be preserved
Style: Instrument timbre/texture that will be applied

How It Works:

The model separates musical content from timbre, then recombines them. Some instrument combinations work better than others due to harmonic compatibility and spectral characteristics.

Tips:

  • Listen to preset previews to understand the source material
  • Harmonic instruments (piano, guitar) often transfer well to each other
  • Try different combinations - unexpected results can be musically interesting!
