VALL-E

An unofficial PyTorch implementation of VALL-E, based on the EnCodec tokenizer.

Get Started

A toy Google Colab example: . Please note that this example overfits a single utterance under the data/test and is not usable. The pretrained model is yet to come.

Requirements

Since the trainer is based on DeepSpeed, you will need to have a GPU that DeepSpeed has developed and tested against, as well as a CUDA or ROCm compiler pre-installed to install this package.

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/enhuiz/vall-e

Or you may clone by:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/enhuiz/vall-e.git

Note that the code is only tested under Python 3.10.7.

Train

1. Put your data into a folder, e.g. data/your_data. Audio files should be named with the suffix .wav and text files with .normalized.txt.

2. Quantize the data:

python -m vall_e.emb.qnt data/your_data

3. Generate phonemes based on the text:

python -m vall_e.emb.g2p data/your_data

4. Customize your configuration by creating config/your_data/ar.yml and config/your_data/nar.yml. Refer to the example configs in config/test and vall_e/config.py for details. You may choose different model presets, check vall_e/vall_e/__init__.py.

5. Train the AR or NAR model using the following scripts:

python -m vall_e.train yaml=config/your_data/ar_or_nar.yml

You may quit your training any time by just typing quit in your CLI. The latest checkpoint will be automatically saved.

Export

Both trained models need to be exported to a certain path. To export either of them, run:

python -m vall_e.export zoo/ar_or_nar.pt yaml=config/your_data/ar_or_nar.yml

This will export the latest checkpoint.

Synthesis

python -m vall_e <text> <ref_path> <out_path> --ar-ckpt zoo/ar.pt --nar-ckpt zoo/nar.pt

TODO

• AR model for the first quantizer
• Audio decoding from tokens
• NAR model for the rest quantizers
• Trainers for both models
• Implement AdaLN for NAR model.
• Sample-wise quantization level sampling for NAR training.
• Pre-trained checkpoint and demos on LibriTTS
• Synthesis CLI
