FastPitchFormant - PyTorch Implementation

PyTorch Implementation of FastPitchFormant: Source-filter based Decomposed Modeling for Speech Synthesis.

Quickstart

Dependencies

You can install the Python dependencies with

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Inference

You have to download the pretrained models and put them in output/ckpt/LJSpeech/.

For English single-speaker TTS, run

python3 synthesize.py --text "YOUR_DESIRED_TEXT" --restore_step 600000 --mode single -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml

The generated utterances will be put in output/result/.

Batch Inference

Batch inference is also supported, try

python3 synthesize.py --source preprocessed_data/LJSpeech/val.txt --restore_step 600000 --mode batch -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml

to synthesize all utterances in preprocessed_data/LJSpeech/val.txt

Controllability

The pitch/speaking rate of the synthesized utterances can be controlled by specifying the desired pitch/energy/duration ratios. For example, one can increase the speaking rate by 20 % and decrease the pitch by 20 % by

python3 synthesize.py --text "YOUR_DESIRED_TEXT" --restore_step 600000 --mode single -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml --duration_control 0.8 --pitch_control 0.8

Training

Datasets

The supported datasets are

• LJSpeech: a single-speaker English dataset consists of 13100 short audio clips of a female speaker reading passages from 7 non-fiction books, approximately 24 hours in total.

Preprocessing

First, run

python3 prepare_align.py config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml

for some preparations.

As described in the paper, Montreal Forced Aligner (MFA) is used to obtain the alignments between the utterances and the phoneme sequences. Alignments for the LJSpeech datasets are provided here. You have to unzip the files in preprocessed_data/LJSpeech/TextGrid/.

After that, run the preprocessing script by

python3 preprocess.py config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml

Alternately, you can align the corpus by yourself. Download the official MFA package and run

./montreal-forced-aligner/bin/mfa_align raw_data/LJSpeech/ lexicon/librispeech-lexicon.txt english preprocessed_data/LJSpeech

or

./montreal-forced-aligner/bin/mfa_train_and_align raw_data/LJSpeech/ lexicon/librispeech-lexicon.txt preprocessed_data/LJSpeech

to align the corpus and then run the preprocessing script.

python3 preprocess.py config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml

Training

Train your model with

python3 train.py -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml

TensorBoard

Use

tensorboard --logdir output/log/LJSpeech

to serve TensorBoard on your localhost. The loss curves, synthesized mel-spectrograms, and audios are shown.

Implementation Issues

• The current implementation and pre-trained model are using normalized pitch values. In my experiments, the pitch controllability is not dynamic with the proposed pitch shifts. You may set normalization to False in ./config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml when you need to see more wide pitch range as the paper described.
• Please note that the paper trained the model up to 1000k whereas the current implementation provides 600k pre-trained model.
• Use HiFi-GAN instead of VocGAN for vocoding.
