I was wondering about the possibility of extending Glicol’s functionality to include features such as:

TTS Emotional Replication Generating human-like emotional expressions in sound (e.g., sighs, coughs, gasps). Sound Effects Simulation Creating realistic environmental sounds, such as thunder, rain, wind, and other ambient effects. Novel Sound Creation Enabling the generation of entirely new and experimental sounds, potentially by training on a provided audio dataset. Given Glicol’s modular architecture, Rust-based engine, and WebAssembly (WASM) support, I’m curious whether it would be theoretically possible to support such extensions within the current framework.

Questions Are any of these features currently possible with Glicol? If not, are there any plans or ongoing developments to enable functionality like this in the future? I believe these additions could expand Glicol’s applications far beyond music generation, opening up exciting possibilities in areas like:

TTS systems with nuanced emotional expression. Sound design for games, films, and interactive media. Experimental audio research and creative sound exploration. Before concluding, I’d like to add that Glicol’s potential use cases could extend well beyond music generation, offering new opportunities for innovation in audio-based applications.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this and whether these ideas align with Glicol’s future vision. Thank you for your time and for developing such an inspiring platform!

Apologies for the late comment, but I had a query I wanted to share.

Would it be possible for you to create a tool that allows users to mimic human emotional sounds directly in the browser? I’m thinking of sounds like realistic coughs, sighs, gasps, and other vocal expressions like shouting or crying etc . It would be amazing if the tool could optionally incorporate TTS, but even without it, the functionality would be very valuable for content creators or people who need custom sound effects.

The idea is to let users customize these sounds by adjusting parameters such as intensity, pitch, and duration. It could also include variations for emotional contexts, like a sad sigh, a relieved sigh, a startled gasp, or a soft cough. An intuitive interface with sliders and buttons to tweak and preview sounds in real-time would make it super user-friendly, with options to save or export the generated audio much like the project pinktrombone

I’m quite new to this field and only have basic experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, I am very much interested in this area and I was wondering if this is something that could be achieved using tools like CursorAI or similar AI-based solutions? Or better yet, is it possible for you to create something like this for people like me who aren’t very tech-savvy?

Thank you so much
