First, follow the steps in theInstallationsection to install the DDSP package and its dependencies. DDSP modules can be used to generate and manipulate audio from neural network outputs as in this simple example:

******************************(Processor)

The (Processor) ******************************************************** is the main object type and preferred API of the DDSP library. It inherits from (tfkl.Layer) ********************************************************** and can be used like any other differentiable module.

Unlike other layers, Processors (such as Synthesizers and Effects) specifically format their

************************************ inputsinto (controls) that are physically meaningful. For instance, a synthesizer might need to remove frequencies above the (Nyquist frquency) ********************** to avoid (aliasing) or ensure that its amplitudes are strictly positive. To this end, they have the methods: [(@ddsp.synths.Additive(), [‘amplitudes’, ‘harmonic_distribution’, ‘f0_hz’] ************************************ get_controls (): inputs ->controls. (******************************************get_signal (): controls ->signal. (******************************************__ call __ (): inputs ->signal. (ie get_signal get_controls ()))

Where: [

Often the outputs of a neural network. (********************************************************** (controls) ********************************************************** (is a dictionary of tensors scaled and constrained specifically for the processor.) ********************************************** (********************************************************** (signal) is an output tensor (usually audio or control signal for another processor).

For example, here are of some inputs to an (Additive)

synthesizer:********************************************************

And And here are the resulting controls after logarithmically scaling amplitudes, removing harmonics above the Nyquist frequency, and normalizing the remaining harmonic distribution:************************************************************Notice that only harmonics are nonzero (sample rate). (kHz, Nyquist 8kHz,*****************************************************************************************************************************************************=(Hz) and they sum to 1.0 at all times

************************************************************************** () ******************************ProcessorGroup

Consider the situation where you want to string together a group of Processors. Since Processors are just instances of (tfkl.Layer) ********************************************************** you could use python control flow, as you would with any other differentiable modules.

In the example below, we have an audio autoencoder that uses a differentiable harmonic noise synthesizer with reverb to generate audio for a multi-scale spectrogram reconstruction loss.

ProcessorGroup (with a list)

A ProcessorGroup

**************************************** allows specifies a as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of processors. The main advantage of using a ProcessorGroup is that the entire signal processing chain can be specified in a (********************************************************. gin

**************************************** file, removing the need to write code in python for every different configuration of processors.

You can specify the DAG as a list of tuples dag=[(processor, [‘input1’, ‘input2’, …]), …] (where) ******************************************************** (processor) ******************************************************** (is an Processor instance, and['input1', 'input2', ...]is a list of strings specifying input arguments. The output signal of each processor can be referenced as an input by the string 'processor_name / signal'where processor_name is the name of the processor at construction. The ProcessorGroup takes a dictionary of inputs, who keys can be referenced in the DAG.

The main advantage of a ProcessorGroup is that it can be defined with a. gin

file, allowing flexible configurations without having to write new python code for every new DAG.

In the example below we pretend we have an external file written, which we treat here as a string. Now, after parsing the gin file, the ProcessorGroup will have its arguments configured on construction.

Theginis a "super power" of dependency injection, and we find it very helpful for our experiments, but With great power comes great responsibility. There are two methods for injecting dependencies with gin.@ gin.configurable
****************************************** makes a function globally configurable, such that  (************************************************************************************ the function or object is called, gin sets its default arguments / constructor values. This can lead to a lot of unintended side-effects. (************************************************************************************ @ gin.register  registers a function or object with gin, and only sets the default argument values ​​when the function or object itself is used as an argument to another function.
To "use gin responsibly", by wrapping most functions with@ gin.registerso that they can be specified as arguments of more "global"  @ gin.configurable  functions / objects such as  ProcessorGroup
