# Godzilla MIDI Dataset
## Enormous, comprehensive, normalized and searchable MIDI dataset for MIR and symbolic music AI purposes
![Godzilla-MIDI-Dataset](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8008d578-f120-4a02-a0bf-7154e9a7423d)
***
## Dataset features
### 1) Over 5.8M+ unique, de-duped and normalized MIDIs
### 2) Each MIDI was converted to proper MIDI format specification and checked for integrity
### 3) Dataset was de-duped twice: by md5 hashes and by pitches-patches counts
### 4) Extensive and comprehansive (meta)data was collected from all MIDIs in the dataset
### 5) Dataset comes with a custom-designed and highly optimized GPU-accelerated search and filter code
***
## Installation
### pip and setuptools
```sh
# It is recommended that you upgrade pip and setuptools prior to install for max compatibility
!pip install --upgrade pip
!pip install --upgrade setuptools
```
### CPU-only install
```sh
# The following command will install Godzilla MIDI Dataset for CPU-only search
# Please note that CPU search is quite slow and it requires a minimum of 128GB RAM to work for full searches
!pip install -U godzillamididataset
```
### CPU/GPU install
```sh
# The following command will install Godzilla MIDI Dataset for fast GPU search
# Please note that GPU search requires at least 30GB GPU VRAM for full searches at float16 precision
!pip install -U godzillamididataset[gpu]
```
### Optional packages
#### Packages for Fast Parallel Exctract module
```sh
# The following command will install packages for Fast Parallel Extract module
# It will allow you to extract (untar) Godzilla MIDI Dataset much faster
!sudo apt update -y
!sudo apt install -y p7zip-full
!sudo apt install -y pigz
```
#### Packages for midi_to_colab_audio module
```sh
# The following command will install packages for midi_to_colab_audio module
# It will allow you to render Godzilla MIDI Dataset MIDIs to audio
!sudo apt update -y
!sudo apt install fluidsynth
```
***
## Quick-start use example
```python
# Import main Godzilla MIDI Dataset module
import godzillamididataset
# Download Godzilla MIDI Dataset from Hugging Face repo
godzillamididataset.download_dataset()
# Extract Godzilla MIDI Dataset with built-in function (slow)
godzillamididataset.parallel_extract()
# Or you can extract much faster if you have installed the optional packages for Fast Parallel Extract
# from godzillamididataset import fast_parallel_extract
# fast_parallel_extract.fast_parallel_extract()
# Load all MIDIs basic signatures
sigs_data = godzillamididataset.read_jsonl()
# Create signatures dictionaries
sigs_dicts = godzillamididataset.load_signatures(sigs_data)
# Pre-compute signatures
X, global_union = godzillamididataset.precompute_signatures(sigs_dicts)
# Run the search
# IO dirs will be created on the first run of the following function
# Do not forget to put your master MIDIs into created Master-MIDI-Dataset folder
# The full search for each master MIDI takes about 2-3 sec on a GPU and 4-5 min on a CPU
godzillamididataset.search_and_filter(sigs_dicts, X, global_union)
```

## Dataset (meta)data information
****
### Averages
#### Averages for all MIDIs are presented in three groups:
* ##### Notes averages without drums
* ##### Notes and drums averages
* ##### Drums averages without notes
#### Each group of averages is represented by a list of four values:
* ##### Delta start-times average in ms
* ##### Durations average in ms
* ##### Pitches average
* ##### Velocities average
****
### Basic features
#### Basic features are presented in a form of a dictionary of 111 metrics
#### The features were collected from a solo piano score representation of all MIDIs with MIDI instruments below 80
#### These features are useful for music classification, analysis and other MIR tasks
****
### Files lists
#### Numerous files lists were created for convenience and easy MIDIs retrieval from the dataset
#### These include lists of all MIDIs as well as subsets of MIDIs
#### Files lists are presented in a dictionary format of two strings:
* ##### MIDI md5 hash
* ##### Full MIDI path
****
### Identified MIDIs
#### This data contains information about all MIDIs that were definitivelly identified by artist, title, and genre
****
### Metadata
#### Metadata was collected from all MIDIs in the dataset and its a list of all MIDI events preceeding first MIDI note event
#### The list also includes the last note event of the MIDI which is useful for measuring runtime of the MIDI
#### The list follows the MIDI.py score format
****
### Mono melodies
#### This data contains information about all MIDIs with at least one monophonic melody
#### The data in a form of list of tuples where first element represents monophonic melody patch/instrument
#### And the second element of the tuple represents number of notes for indicated patch/instrument
#### Please note that many MIDIs may have more than one monophonic melody
****
### Pitches patches counts
#### This data contains the pitches-patches counts for all MIDIs in the dataset
#### This information is very useful for de-duping, MIR and statistical analysis
****
### Pitches sums
#### This data contains MIDI pitches sums for all MIDIs in the dataset
#### Pitches sums can be used for de-duping, MIR and comparative analysis
****
### Signatures
#### This data contains two signatures for each MIDI in the dataset:
* ##### Full signature with 577 features
* ##### Basic signature with 392 features
#### Both signatures are presented as lists of tuples where first element is a feature and the second element is a feature count
#### Both signatures also include number of bad features indicated by -1
#### Signatures features are divided into three groups:
* ##### MIDI pitches (represented by values 0-127)
* ##### MIDI chords (represented by values 128-449 or 128-264)
* ##### MIDI drum pitches (represented by values 449-577 or 264-392)
#### Both signatures can be very effectively used for MIDI comparison or MIDI search and filtering
****
### Text captions
#### This data contains detailed textual description of music in each MIDI in the dataset
#### These captions can be used for text-to-music tasks and for MIR tasks
