+REMI, which stands for REvamped MIDI-derived events, is a new event representation we propose for converting MIDI scores into text-like discrete tokens. Compared to the MIDI-like event representation adopted in exising Transformer-based music composition models, REMI provides sequence models a metrical context for modeling the rhythmic patterns of music. Using REMI as the event representation, an AI model can be trained to generate minute-long Pop piano music with expressive, coherent and clear structure of rhythm and harmony, without needing any post-processing to refine the result. The model also provides controllability of local tempo changes and chord progression.
