Waves Audio has announced Illugen, an AI-powered text-to-sound engine desktop app that enables users to turn text prompts into original, custom-generated audio.

Waves Audio IllugenAccoring to its author. ‘llugen 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, audio through text prompts; the more creative the input, the more unexpected the outcome.

By typing in a scene, mood or sonic concept, such as ‘alien signals pulsating underwater’, ‘haunted violin drifting in the wind’ or ‘the sound of a spaceship’s broken radio’, Illugen’s AI-powered text-to-sound generator creates entirely original, sonic results. Unlike traditional sample packs and services that provide pre-made instruments and sounds, Illugen generates original audio from descriptions, promising a new frontier in creative sound design.

Key features:

  • Transforms text prompts into unique sounds.
  • Generates one-shots, loops and special FX.
  • Drag-and-drop generated sounds straight to a DAW.
  • Three unique sound variations created from each prompt.
  • History page to browse all previously generated sounds.
