The Flexible Multi-Decoder System leverages rich embeddings from the specialized disentangler model to reconstruct high-quality separated audio for any number of signal types. This architecture supports voice/noise separation and easily extends to musical instruments like trumpet, violin, etc.

• Signal-Type Agnostic: Supports any number and type of audio sources (voice, noise, trumpet, violin, etc.)
• Flexible Configuration: Easy to add new signal types without architectural changes
• Specialized Feature Processing: Dedicated conditioners per signal type with appropriate features
• Scalable Design: Parameter count scales linearly with number of signal types
• Dual Mode Support: Batch processing for training, streaming for real-time deployment
