Nvidia's groundbreaking AI audio model Fugatto can synthesize entirely new, never-before-heard sounds through advanced text-to-audio generation technology.

The model excels at creating unique audio combinations, such as a trumpet that meows or a saxophone that barks, based on text descriptions. Users can generate complex sound effects by providing detailed prompts, like "Deep, rumbling bass pulses paired with intermittent, high-pitched digital chirps."

Fugatto's capabilities extend beyond sound creation to include:

  • Music editing and manipulation
  • Vocal isolation in songs
  • Instrument replacement
  • Melody modification
  • Voice transformation (accent and emotion changes)

Rafael Valle, Nvidia's manager of applied audio research and orchestral conductor, led the development team. They overcame significant challenges in creating a comprehensive training dataset with millions of audio samples to enable multitask learning in audio synthesis.

While not yet publicly available, Nvidia has launched a website featuring audio samples that demonstrate Fugatto's potential applications in ethical AI-generated sound.
