Lo-Fi Chords is an open dataset of 8,000 stereo WAV loops with paired JSON metadata, featuring chord progressions inspired by retro soul and vintage library music. The audio was generated from a large set of MIDI patterns using multi-sampled acoustic, electric, and synth-piano instruments. Data augmentation included humanization, time shifting, filtering, EQ, tape/vinyl noise, and…

EDM-TECH is an open-source corpus of drum recordings produced in the techno genre, consisting of 11,270 WAV files paired with JSON metadata for supervised model training. It builds upon the earlier EDM-TR9 Dataset, offering a larger and more diverse set of training examples for generative AI music development.

HH-TRP is an open audio dataset of 15,000 drum loops in the style of modern urban trap music, provided in uncompressed stereo WAV format with paired JSON labels. Generated using an algorithmic framework with MIDI patterns and one-shot samples, it includes data augmentation through random sample-swapping to create varied drum kits. The dataset is designed…

The JAZ-DRM Dataset is an open collection of 1,675 jazz drum loops in WAV format with paired JSON label files.
