Nullsample Multitrack

20 complete tracks generated from code, with zero samples. Each comes with its mix, six stems, a MIDI file and exact annotations: tempo, downbeats, key, the chord in every bar, the sections, every drum hit by instrument and every note of every part. That is 40,060 drum hits and 32,919 notes over 37 minutes of music.

The labels are not estimated and not hand-annotated. They are the score the audio was synthesised from, so they are exact by construction. No recordings, samples or trained models were used. Every sound is computed from oscillators, noise, envelopes and filters by Nullsample (source, AGPL-3.0). Nothing in the audio came from anyone else's recording.

Every track can be reproduced bit for bit from its seed, on any machine. The engine avoids the platform-dependent Math.sin/exp/pow and is tested byte-identical across Node and browsers. You can listen to any seed at https://nullsample.maqsudjon.com/generate/#s=<seed>, or render the lossless WAV yourself:

git clone https://github.com/maqsudjon-cell/nullsample && cd nullsample && git checkout b6adf10
npm install && npm run render -- --seed NULL-0001 --out NULL-0001.wav
npm run dataset -- --out ./dataset        # this whole dataset

The audio came from engine commit c912de6 (engine_commit in every annotation file). The checkout above has the same engine plus the script that wrote this dataset.

What it is good for

• Source separation: six stems per track (drums, 808 bass, lead, arp, pads, fx).
• Drum and note transcription: onsets and notes that are exact to the sample.
• Beat, downbeat and tempo tracking.
• Key and chord recognition, and structure segmentation.
• Testing an MIR tool against ground truth before trusting it on real recordings.

The MIDI files have 480 ticks per beat and the track's tempo. They have a tempo track with the sections as markers, the drums on channel 10 (General MIDI: kick 36, rim 37, snare 38, clap 39, closed hat 42, open hat 46), and one track each for bass808, lead, arp and pads. Velocities in the JSON are 0–1. The pads are chords with no velocity of their own, written at 0.8. Chord names: 5 is a power chord, m minor, m7, sus2, sus4, add9, m(add9).

The tracks

Tempo 151–159.5 BPM. Scales: phrygian, minorPentatonic, naturalMinor, harmonicMinor, phrygianDominant.

Limits

• One style. All tracks come from one preset (energetic electronic, hyperpop-like), so this is not a sample of music in general. It is small: use it to test and probe models, or as a clean supplement, not as a training corpus on its own.
• Stems do not sum exactly to the mix. Each stem is its bus rendered alone through the master chain at a fixed drive. The mix also has mix-wide effects (tape stops, stutters) and a limiter that reacts to everything at once.
• MP3, to keep it small. Annotation times come from the engine's sample positions. Decoders that honour the LAME gapless header, such as ffmpeg and most libraries, line up within a few milliseconds. For lossless audio, render the seed.
• The synthesis parameters behind each sound are not included.
