It finds the melody (from the vocals or the instruments) and replays it with retro \"chiptune\" sounds, like an old game console. Everything runs locally. Requirements - Python 3.9 or higher - ffmpeg on your PATH (it ships ffmpeg and ffprobe ). Install it with sudo apt install ffmpeg (Linux) or brew install ffmpeg (macOS). Installation Or from GitHub: First run is slow: it downloads a small AI model (about 80 MB) and can take a few minutes. That is normal; later runs are faster. Usage Command Line Options - -i, --input - input audio file, required (any format ffmpeg can read) - -o, --output - output path (default: output. ) - -f, --format - output format, e.g. ogg , wav (default: same as input) - -s, --source - melody source: vocals , instrumental , auto (default: auto ) - -m, --method - note finding: transcribe or pitch (default: transcribe ) - -V, --voices - chords (one voice, with harmony), lead (single line), band (full chip band: pulse lead + pulse harmony + triangle bass from the bass stem + noise drums from the drums stem), or nes (the same band with an arpeggiated harmony, vibrato lead and everything snapped to the beat) (default: chords ) - --transpose - key shift in semitones (default: 0 ) - --bits - bit depth, 1-8, lower is crunchier (default: 8 ) - --rate - sample","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/yumiaura","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/yumiaura/audio8bit/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
