Turbo MLX 1.11 adds sound effects: MOSS-SoundEffect turns a description into up to 30 seconds of sound. MiniMax-Music3 gets a lighter 4-bit version and an Instrumental switch.

What's new

  • Sound effects with MOSS-SoundEffect. OpenMOSS's MOSS-SoundEffect v2.0 turns a description into a sound effect or an ambience, from footsteps and doors to rain, engines and crowds, as a 48 kHz mono WAV. It makes neither music nor speech. Describe what makes the sound, where, and how it changes, in English or Chinese. Set the length from half a second to 30 seconds, and say what to keep out of it in the negative prompt. A sound takes about 2¾ minutes in 100 steps on an M1 Max, whatever its length. The model is an 8.4 GB download, wants 16 GB of memory, and is under the Apache 2.0 licence. It has its own Sound Effects section in the model picker.
  • MiniMax-Music3 4-bit. A lighter version of the song model: a 9.2 GB download that wants 16 GB of memory instead of 24, at about the same speed. The picker now names the two versions MiniMax-Music3 4-bit and MiniMax-Music3 8-bit. The 8-bit one stays closer to the original, and the same seed gives a different song in each.
  • Instrumental songs. A switch at the top of the lyrics turns a song instrumental. It hides the lyrics, keeps them for when you turn it off, and gives the model the [instrumental] tag instead. The model can still add wordless vocals: it has no way to leave voices out entirely.
  • Reset now leaves a single empty prompt block without a name. It is also an arrow at the top of the left column, next to the sidebar button. ⌘Z still undoes it.
  • While a generation runs, the frame shows the app icon's dots, slowly moving, instead of the pulsing sparkles.

MOSS-SoundEffect runs on the app's own MLX engine. Each stage was checked in float32 against OpenMOSS's own pipeline.
