About Omnizart
Omnizart is a Python library for automatic transcription of polyphonic music. It can transcribe pitched instrument notes, note-level vocal melody and frame-level vocal contour (F0), chord progressions, drum events, and beat positions.
It is installed via pip, Docker, or Conda from source and requires downloading checkpoints before transcription. Drum transcription works with the provided checkpoints, but training the drum model from scratch does not converge, and the library is incompatible with ARM-based macOS systems.
