You’ve heard of Stable Diffusion, the open-source AI model that generates images from text?

Well, we fine-tuned the model to generate images of spectrograms, like this:

The magic is that this spectrogram can then be converted to an audio clip. (See demo above.)

This is the v1.5 stable diffusion model with no modifications, just fine-tuned on images of spectrograms paired with text. Audio processing happens downstream of the model.

It can generate infinite variations of a prompt by varying the seed. All the same web UIs and techniques like img2img, inpainting, negative prompts, and interpolation work out of the box.
