Riffusion is a technique for real-time music and audio generation with stable diffusion.

• Inference server: https://github.com/riffusion/riffusion
• Web app: https://github.com/riffusion/riffusion-app
• Model checkpoint: https://huggingface.co/riffusion/riffusion-model-v1

This repository contains the Python backend does the model inference and audio processing, including:

• a diffusers pipeline that performs prompt interpolation combined with image conditioning
• a module for (approximately) converting between spectrograms and waveforms
• a flask server to provide model inference via API to the next.js app
• a model template titled baseten.py for deploying as a Truss

Tested with Python 3.9 and diffusers 0.9.0.

To run this model, you need a GPU with CUDA. To run it in real time, it needs to be able to run stable diffusion with approximately 50 steps in under five seconds.

You need to make sure you have torch and torchaudio installed with CUDA support. See the install guide or stable wheels.

conda create --name riffusion-inference python=3.9
conda activate riffusion-inference
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

If torchaudio has no audio backend, see this issue.

Guides:

• CUDA help
• Windows Simple Instructions

Start the Flask server:

python -m riffusion.server --port 3013 --host 127.0.0.1

You can specify --checkpoint with your own directory or huggingface ID in diffusers format.

The model endpoint is now available at http://127.0.0.1:3013/run_inference via POST request.

Example input (see InferenceInput for the API):

{
  "alpha": 0.75,
  "num_inference_steps": 50,
  "seed_image_id": "og_beat",

  "start": {
    "prompt": "church bells on sunday",
    "seed": 42,
    "denoising": 0.75,
    "guidance": 7.0
  },

  "end": {
    "prompt": "jazz with piano",
    "seed": 123,
    "denoising": 0.75,
    "guidance": 7.0
  }
}

Example output (see InferenceOutput for the API):

{
  "image": "< base64 encoded JPEG image >",
  "audio": "< base64 encoded MP3 clip >"
}
