>> Why doesn't the architecture use a model to generate sheet music / MIDI, then layer another model on top to create instrumentals?

there are various models that do this [0]... just doesn't have the same power to generate waveform music that jukebox does.

Jukebox effectively is a 2 step model a) a 3 layer VQ-VAE compresses the music (so think of this as the MIDI equivalent) and b) a transfomer then learns/generates sequences.

The compression is the expensive part of the model.
