PDMX: A Large-Scale Public Domain MusicXML Dataset for Symbolic Music Processing
<p>We introduce <strong>PDMX</strong>: a <strong>P</strong>ublic <strong>D</strong>omain <strong>M</strong>usic<strong>X</strong>ML dataset for symbolic music processing. Refer to our <a title="PDMX Paper" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.10831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> for more information, and our <a title="PDMX GitHub Repository" href="https://github.com/pnlong/PDMX/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GitHub repository</a> for any code-related details. Please cite both our paper and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.02084" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our collaborators' paper</a> if you use this dataset (see our GitHub for more information).</p> <p>Upon further use of the PDMX dataset, we discovered a discrepancy between the public-facing copyright metadata on the <a href="https://musescore.com/">MuseScore website</a> and the internal copyright data of the MuseScore files themselves, which affected 31,221 (12.29% of) songs. We have decided to proceed with the former given its public visibility on Musescore (i.e. this is what the MuseScore website presents its users with). We have noted files with conflicting internal licenses in the <em><strong>license_conflict</strong></em> column of PDMX. We recommend using the <em><strong>no_license_conflict</strong></em> subset of PDMX (which still includes 222,856 songs) moving forward.</p> <p>Additionally, for each song in PDMX, we not only provide the <em>MusicRender</em> and metadata JSON files, but we also try to include the associated compressed MusicXML (MXL), sheet music (PDF), and MIDI (MID) files when available. Due to the corruption of 42 of the original MuseScore files, these songs lack those associated files (since they could not be converted to those formats) and only include the <em>MusicRender</em> and metadata JSON files. The <em><strong>all_valid</strong></em> subset of PDMX describes the songs where all associated files are valid.</p>
Emotion4MIDI: A Lyrics-Based Emotion-Labeled Symbolic Music Dataset
<p>This dataset includes emotion labels for the publicly available MIDI dataset, namely Lakh MIDI Dataset and Reddit MIDI dataset. The values represent the probability of containing a particular emotion. For a single song, more than one emotion can be present, hence the values don't add up to 1.</p>
Audio Rendered Using Symbolic Music Data Sampled From DMelodies
<p>This is a dataset of audio files rendered using a subset of symbolic music data from <a href="https://github.com/ashispati/dmelodies_dataset">DMelodies</a>.</p>

UMD-350MB: Refined MIDI Dataset for Symbolic Music Generation
<p><strong>UMD-350MB</strong></p> <p>The Universal MIDI Dataset 350MB (UMD-350MB) is a proprietary collection of 85,618 MIDI files curated for research and development within our organization. This collection is a subset sampled from a larger dataset developed for pretraining symbolic music models.</p> <p>The field of symbolic music generation is constrained by limited data compared to language models. Publicly available datasets, such as the Lakh MIDI Dataset, offer large collections of MIDI files sourced from the web. While the sheer volume of musical data might appear beneficial, the actual amount of valuable data is less than anticipated, as many songs contain less desirable melodies with erratic and repetitive events.</p> <p>The UMD-350MB employs an attention-based approach to achieve more desirable output generations by focusing on human-reviewed training examples of single-track melodies, chord progressions, leads and arpeggios with an average duration of 8 bars. This was achieved by refining the dataset over 24 months, ensuring consistent quality and tempo alignment. Moreover, the dataset is normalized by setting the timing information to 120 BPM with a tick resolution (PPQ) of 96 and transposing the musical scales to C major and A minor (natural scales).</p> <p><strong>Melody Styles</strong></p> <p>A major portion of the dataset is composed of newly produced private data to represent modern musical styles.</p> <ul> <li>Pop: 1970s to 2020s Pop music</li> <li>EDM: Trance, House, Synthwave, Dance, Arcade</li> <li>Jazz: Bebop, Ballad, Latin-Jazz, Bossa-Jazz, Ragtime</li> <li>Soul: 80s Classic, Neo-Soul, Latin-Soul</li> <li>Urban: Pop, Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B, Afrobeat</li> <li>World: Latin, Bossa Nova, European</li> <li>Other: Film, Cinematic, Game music and piano references</li> </ul> <p><em>Actual MIDI files are unlabeled for unsupervised training.</em></p> <p><strong>Dataset Access</strong></p> <p>Please note that this is a closed-source dataset with very limited access. Considerations for access include proposals for data augmentation, chord extraction and other enhancement methods, whether through scripts, algorithmic techniques, manual editing in a DAW or additional processing methods.</p> <p>For inquiries about this dataset, please email us.</p>
