I've been having a hard time finding a solution. Is there really no commercialized model that I can feed in a reference sound and text instruction and get another sound out?

Right now having a multimodal inputs to image or text output is a commodotized, solved problem. IE you can put a prompt for some image and use a reference image to guide the model on what you want. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words right?

Ive also used a text and audio input in order to get a text description or classification out.

I cannot for the life of me find a solution for Audio + text -> Audio

My usecase is that I'm trying to generate new sound effects based on a source that doesn't have that many clean examples and thought this would be just another solved workflow but I'm not finding much. Tried elevenlabs SFX but it's only text->audio and without the reference, it's hard to guide with just text and recreate a sound with any accuracy. I tried the Stable Audio 3 model which is supposed to do what I want but the results were terrible. This modality seems to be stuck where image generation was in 2016. Is there something else or is this just not a common need?

I wanted to share a lightweight mapping editor I’ve built to make it easier to improve MTB trail data on OpenStreetMap. In general MTB trails on OSM could be greatly improved, especially when it comes to IMBA ratings and I wanted to lower the barrier to entry to contributing to OSM.

Key features:

* Load satellite, lidar or OSM GPS traces to verify trail paths * Dedicated keybindings for quickly tagging a trail's IMBA rating and other actions * Add, edit and split trails to improve trail accuracy * Circle a group of trails to add or update a trail network * Load all trails in a given state or region (US and Canada supported to start) * Upload to OSM as a changeset

Hope some folks find this useful, let me know what feedback you have!
