nice, i worked on something similar some years ago but this seems more sophisticated. i had a lot of difficulty with atonal sounds especially because i was trying to take a kind of "neural wavetable" approach, but overall i found the results intriguing nonetheless. curious to check out more recent efforts. i recall the DDSP paper and assumed those ideas would apply quite nicely to this problem.

Very cool! Thank you for this.

Speaking of wavetables, have you seen this relatively recent work?

oh nice, i have not. thanks i've got some catching up to do! i see that they used the nsynth dataset, i didn't realize it was publicly available. i recall that the nsynth paper came out just as i was finishing that work, you can imagine i felt a bit scooped ;). (but nsynth was far more impressive so what could i say..)
