Vocos: Closing the gap between time-domain and Fourier-based neural vocoders for high-quality audio synthesis
Audio samples | Paper [abs] [pdf]
Vocos is a fast neural vocoder designed to synthesize audio waveforms from acoustic features. Trained using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) objective, Vocos can generate waveforms in a single forward pass. Unlike other typical GAN-based vocoders, Vocos does not model audio samples in the time domain. Instead, it generates spectral coefficients, facilitating rapid audio reconstruction through inverse Fourier transform.
To use Vocos only in inference mode, install it using:
pip install vocos
If you wish to train the model, install it with additional dependencies:
pip install vocos[train]
import torch
from vocos import Vocos
vocos = Vocos.from_pretrained("charactr/vocos-mel-24khz")
mel = torch.randn(1, 100, 256) # B, C, T
audio = vocos.decode(mel)
Copy-synthesis from a file:
import torchaudio
y, sr = torchaudio.load(YOUR_AUDIO_FILE)
if y.size(0) > 1: # mix to mono
y = y.mean(dim=0, keepdim=True)
y = torchaudio.functional.resample(y, orig_freq=sr, new_freq=24000)
y_hat = vocos(y)
Additionally, you need to provide a bandwidth_id
which corresponds to the embedding for bandwidth from the
list: [1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0]
.
vocos = Vocos.from_pretrained("charactr/vocos-encodec-24khz")
audio_tokens = torch.randint(low=0, high=1024, size=(8, 200)) # 8 codeboooks, 200 frames
features = vocos.codes_to_features(audio_tokens)
bandwidth_id = torch.tensor([2]) # 6 kbps
audio = vocos.decode(features, bandwidth_id=bandwidth_id)
Copy-synthesis from a file: It extracts and quantizes features with EnCodec, then reconstructs them with Vocos in a single forward pass.
y, sr = torchaudio.load(YOUR_AUDIO_FILE)
if y.size(0) > 1: # mix to mono
y = y.mean(dim=0, keepdim=True)
y = torchaudio.functional.resample(y, orig_freq=sr, new_freq=24000)
y_hat = vocos(y, bandwidth_id=bandwidth_id)
Integrate with 🐶 Bark text-to-audio model

Model Name | Dataset | Training Iterations | Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
charactr/vocos-mel-24khz | LibriTTS | 1M | 13.5M |
charactr/vocos-encodec-24khz | DNS Challenge | 2M | 7.9M |
Prepare a filelist of audio files for the training and validation set:
find $TRAIN_DATASET_DIR -name *.wav > filelist.train
find $VAL_DATASET_DIR -name *.wav > filelist.val
Fill a config file, e.g. vocos.yaml, with your filelist paths and start training with:
python train.py -c configs/vocos.yaml
Refer to Pytorch Lightning documentation for details about customizing the training pipeline.
