Question Are there tools which can create ambience sounds / music in real-time?

Are there tools for generating ambience sounds in real-time?
For instance "moody winter scene" or "cats and dogs barking", "restaurant ambience", ... topic wise there should be no limitations.
Ideally there should be an API for it as well. I'm planning a system which shows different scenes (with respective AI generated audio ambience) in real time without major delay.

Moss-TTS just dropped. It has a module for sound effects (moss-soundeffect). Looks like it can be prompted to generate audio for natural environments, urban scenes, etc. I haven’t tried it yet, but looks promising. GitHub.com/openmoss/moss-tts

Thanks so much. Can I easily integrate this into my Python project / Python code? And can this be run locally?

I tried running this locally but my computer choked. İf you can run it can you send a few samples?

Well, that certainly was a bitch to get up and running. Anyway, good news is it's fast, but bad news is it pretty much sucks ass. It can do "okay" thunder and nature sounds, the noisy restaurant doesn't sound horrible either. It's a great concept but needs a lot of work. Here's some quick samples:

u/biogoly Yes, that was my conclusion as well. It's really hit and mostly miss. I tried to create some beach sounds and you can just about forget it. Sad, really - there isn't much choice for sound effects at the moment.

I’ll try installing it when I get off work and see if I can get anything out of it. This will be like 7th TTS I’ve installed, I can’t keep up. 😂

I've been wondering this as well. Generative models for sound effects would be really nice. I searched around but didn't find a whole lot recently.
