FlowSonic: Stable Zero-Shot Music Editing via High-Order Trajectory Integration
FlowSonic is a zero-shot music editing framework that leverages a pretrained diffusion transformer with rectified flow to enable text-guided editing of real-world music recordings. The method uses deterministic inversion and cross-attention reuse to preserve musical structure, while a high-order ODE solver enhances numerical stability during editing. Experiments indicate that FlowSonic outperforms existing approaches in tasks such as timbre transfer and genre modification, with improvements in semantic alignment, structural consistency, and perceptual audio quality.
Why it matters: This work demonstrates a significant advance in controllable music editing without task-specific training, potentially impacting music production and audio post-processing workflows.
