Multi-Scale Neural Audio Codec (SNAC) compressess audio into discrete codes at a low bitrate.

👉 This model was primarily trained on music data, and its recommended use case is music (and SFX) generation. See below for other pretrained models.

SNAC encodes audio into hierarchical tokens similarly to SoundStream, EnCodec, and DAC. However, SNAC introduces a simple change where coarse tokens are sampled less frequently, covering a broader time span.

This model compresses 32 kHz audio into discrete codes at a 1.9 kbps bitrate. It uses 4 RVQ levels with token rates of 10, 21, 42, and 83 Hz.

Currently, all models support only single audio channel (mono).

Install it using:

To encode (and decode) audio with SNAC in Python, use the following code:

You can also encode and reconstruct in a single call:

⚠️ Note that codes is a list of token sequences of variable lengths, each corresponding to a different temporal resolution.
