WRLD-LP Dataset WRLD-LP is an open audio dataset comprised of a series of symbolic drum recordings in the genres of world percussion music. The dataset includes 3,162 audio loops recorded in uncompressed stereo WAV format. The compositions were generated with an internal sample dataset played with note-dense MIDI drum files from a code-based music generation system, along with a MIDI transformer model trained on more than 30,000 MIDI files. Dataset The primary objective of this dataset is to provide accessible content for machine learning applications in music and audio research. Some potential use cases for this dataset include tempo detection and classification, drum rhythm analysis, audio-to-MIDI conversion, source separation, automated mixing, music information retrieval, AI music generation, sound design, and signal processing.
