Usage

Below example describes how you can use BigVGAN: load the pretrained BigVGAN generator from Hugging Face Hub, compute mel spectrogram from input waveform, and generate synthesized waveform using the mel spectrogram as the model's input.

device = 'cuda'

import torch
import bigvgan
import librosa
from meldataset import get_mel_spectrogram

# instantiate the model. You can optionally set use_cuda_kernel=True for faster inference.
model = bigvgan.BigVGAN.from_pretrained('nvidia/bigvgan_v2_44khz_128band_512x', use_cuda_kernel=False)

# remove weight norm in the model and set to eval mode
model.remove_weight_norm()
model = model.eval().to(device)

# load wav file and compute mel spectrogram
wav_path = '/path/to/your/audio.wav'
wav, sr = librosa.load(wav_path, sr=model.h.sampling_rate, mono=True) # wav is np.ndarray with shape [T_time] and values in [-1, 1]
wav = torch.FloatTensor(wav).unsqueeze(0) # wav is FloatTensor with shape [B(1), T_time]

# compute mel spectrogram from the ground truth audio
mel = get_mel_spectrogram(wav, model.h).to(device) # mel is FloatTensor with shape [B(1), C_mel, T_frame]

# generate waveform from mel
with torch.inference_mode():
    wav_gen = model(mel) # wav_gen is FloatTensor with shape [B(1), 1, T_time] and values in [-1, 1]
wav_gen_float = wav_gen.squeeze(0).cpu() # wav_gen is FloatTensor with shape [1, T_time]

# you can convert the generated waveform to 16 bit linear PCM
wav_gen_int16 = (wav_gen_float * 32767.0).numpy().astype('int16') # wav_gen is now np.ndarray with shape [1, T_time] and int16 dtype

Using Custom CUDA Kernel for Synthesis

You can apply the fast CUDA inference kernel by using a parameter use_cuda_kernel when instantiating BigVGAN:

import bigvgan
model = bigvgan.BigVGAN.from_pretrained('nvidia/bigvgan_v2_44khz_128band_512x', use_cuda_kernel=True)

When applied for the first time, it builds the kernel using nvcc and ninja. If the build succeeds, the kernel is saved to alias_free_activation/cuda/build and the model automatically loads the kernel. The codebase has been tested using CUDA 12.1.

Please make sure that both are installed in your system and nvcc installed in your system matches the version your PyTorch build is using.

Pretrained Models

We provide the pretrained models on Hugging Face Collections. One can download the checkpoints of the generator weight (named bigvgan_generator.pt) and its discriminator/optimizer states (named bigvgan_discriminator_optimizer.pt) within the listed model repositories.
