Nvidia Unveils AI Music Tool Capable of Unique Soundscapes

Nvidia introduces Fugatto, an AI-powered music editor that can create unprecedented soundscapes, such as a meowing trumpet. Fugatto uses text and audio inputs for innovative music creation, even altering voices and sounds like never before.

Nvidia just dropped Fugatto, and it’s not your grandma’s music editor. This AI-powered tool is all about breaking the mold, creating sounds that’ll make you do a double-take—think trumpets that meow like a cat. Whether it’s composing tunes, crafting weird and wonderful sounds, or even generating speech, Fugatto takes text and audio prompts and turns them into something you’ve literally never heard before.

Check out the video they’ve got embedded. It’s wild. One minute, you’re listening to a saxophone howling and barking, the next, it’s electronic beats with dogs joining in. Nvidia’s not just playing around; they’re showing how Fugatto can whip up soundscapes from descriptions like ‘Deep, rumbling bass pulses with random high-pitched chirps—like some giant robot waking up and deciding to DJ.’

But wait, there’s more. Fugatto isn’t just about making new sounds; it’s got tricks up its sleeve for tweaking what’s already there. Want a voice to sound more pissed off or chill? Fugatto’s got you. It can pull vocals out of a track, throw in some new instruments, or even swap a piano melody for an opera singer. Because why not?

Nvidia didn’t just throw this together overnight. They fed Fugatto a diet of millions of audio samples, including some fancy sound effects from the BBC, and cooked up a way to make it smarter without needing more data. Sure, there are other AI audio tools out there from the likes of Stability AI and Google DeepMind, but Nvidia’s claiming Fugatto is the only one that can invent sounds nobody’s ever dreamed of.

As for when you can get your hands on Fugatto? Nvidia’s playing it coy. No word yet on when it’ll hit the shelves, but one thing’s for sure—it’s going to be a game-changer.
