NSynth is a dataset of one shot instrumental notes, containing 305,979 musical notes with unique pitch, timbre and envelope. The sounds were collected from 1006 instruments from commercial sample libraries and are annotated based on their source (acoustic, electronic or synthetic), instrument family and sonic qualities. The instrument families used in the annotation are bass, brass, flute, guitar, keyboard, mallet, organ, reed, string, synth lead and vocal. Four second monophonic 16kHz audio snippets were generated (notes) for the instruments.

The JSB chorales are a set of short, four-voice pieces of music well-noted for their stylistic homogeneity. The chorales were originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in the 18th century. He wrote them by first taking pre-existing melodies from contemporary Lutheran hymns and then harmonising them to create the parts for the remaining three voices. The version of the dataset used canonically in representation learning contexts consists of 382 such chorales, with a train/validation/test split of 229, 76 and 77 samples respectively.

URMP (University of Rochester Multi-Modal Musical Performance) is a dataset for facilitating audio-visual analysis of musical performances. The dataset comprises 44 simple multi-instrument musical pieces assembled from coordinated but separately recorded performances of individual tracks. For each piece the dataset provided the musical score in MIDI format, the high-quality individual instrument audio recordings and the videos of the assembled pieces.
POP909 is a dataset which contains multiple versions of the piano arrangements of 909 popular songs created by professional musicians. The main body of the dataset contains the vocal melody, the lead instrument melody, and the piano accompaniment for each song in MIDI format, which are aligned to the original audio files. Furthermore, annotations are provided of tempo, beat, key, and chords, where the tempo curves are hand-labelled and others are done by MIR algorithms.

The Lakh MIDI dataset is a collection of 176,581 unique MIDI files, 45,129 of which have been matched and aligned to entries in the Million Song Dataset. Its goal is to facilitate large-scale music information retrieval, both symbolic (using the MIDI files alone) and audio content-based (using information extracted from the MIDI files as annotations for the matched audio files). Around 10% of all MIDI files include timestamped lyrics events with lyrics are often transcribed at the word, syllable or character level.

The Nintendo Entertainment System Music Database (NES-MDB) is a dataset intended for building automatic music composition systems for the NES audio synthesizer. It consists of 5278 songs from the soundtracks of 397 NES games. The dataset represents 296 unique composers, and the songs contain more than two million notes combined. It has file format options for MIDI, score and NLM (NES Language Modeling).

The ADL Piano MIDI is a dataset of 11,086 piano pieces from different genres. This dataset is based on the Lakh MIDI dataset, which is a collection on 45,129 unique MIDI files that have been matched to entries in the Million Song Dataset. Most pieces in the Lakh MIDI dataset have multiple instruments, so for each file the authors of ADL Piano MIDI dataset extracted only the tracks with instruments from the "Piano Family" (MIDI program numbers 1-8). This process generated a total of 9,021 unique piano MIDI files. Theses 9,021 files were then combined with other approximately 2,065 files scraped from publicly-available sources on the internet. All the files in the final collection were de-duped according to their MD5 checksum.

The Bach Doodle Dataset is composed of 21.6 million harmonizations submitted from the Bach Doodle. The dataset contains both metadata about the composition (such as the country of origin and feedback), as well as a MIDI of the user-entered melody and a MIDI of the generated harmonization. The dataset contains about 6 years of user entered music.
ComMU has 11,144 MIDI samples that consist of short note sequences created by professional composers with their corresponding 12 metadata. This dataset is designed for a new task, combinatorial music generation which generate diverse and high-quality music only with metadata through auto-regressive language model.
dMelodies is dataset of simple 2-bar melodies generated using 9 independent latent factors of variation where each data point represents a unique melody based on the following constraints: - Each melody will correspond to a unique scale (major, minor, blues, etc.). - Each melody plays the arpeggios using the standard I-IV-V-I cadence chord pattern. - Bar 1 plays the first 2 chords (6 notes), Bar 2 plays the second 2 chords (6 notes). - Each played note is an 8th note.

It includes 669 audio and MIDI files of music from Sega and MSX PC games in the 80s using YM2413, a programmable sound generator based on FM. The collected game music is arranged with a subset of 15 monophonic instruments and one drum instrument.
Dataset Summary The dataset used to train and evaluate TunesFormer is collected from two sources: The Session and ABCnotation.com. The Session is a community website focused on Irish traditional music, while ABCnotation.com is a website that provides a standard for folk and traditional music notation in the form of ASCII text files. The combined dataset consists of 285,449 ABC tunes, with 99\% (282,595) of the tunes used as the training set and the remaining 1\% (2854) used as the evaluation set.
