Turn Text Into Sound

Waves Audio has announced ILLUGEN, which they describe as an unprecedented AI-powered text-to-sound engine desktop app that enables you to turn your text prompts into entirely original, never-before-heard custom-generated audio. Here's the details in their own words...

ILLUGEN unlocks a new era of audio innovation, turning ideas into sound. It transforms your creative idea into one-of-a-kind one-shots, loops and special FX, ready for your musical creation. No presets, no recycled samples, just pure sound innovation.

ILLUGEN is not a sample library or a collection of pre-made sounds--it is an entirely new, open-ended way to create and explore sound. Designed to free creators from conventional sample-based workflows, ILLUGEN enables users to generate original, never-before-heard audio through imaginative text prompts. The more creative the input, the more unexpected and innovative the results. Whether crafting dynamic sound elements or shaping distinctive textures, this groundbreaking tool transforms ideas into unique sonic experiences, empowering users to push the boundaries of sound design.

By simply typing in a scene, mood or sonic concept, such as: "Alien signals pulsating underwater," "A haunted violin drifting in the wind," or "The sound of a spaceship's broken radio," ILLUGEN's AI-powered text-to-sound generator brings your descriptions to life and creates entirely original, unprecedented sonic creations. Unlike traditional sample packs and services that provide pre-made instruments and sounds, ILLUGEN generates fresh, original audio from your own descriptions, offering a new frontier in creative sound design.

Key features:

• Prompt-based generation: Transforms text prompts into unique sounds instantly
• Generates one-shots, loops, and special FX
• Easily drag and drop the generated sounds straight to your DAW
• Three unique sound variations created from each prompt
• History page to browse all previously generated sounds
