Feature Idea: Support for Latin Percussion Stems (Güira, Güiro, Timbales, Clave)

Hi Stemdeck team! 👋

First of all, congratulations on this project! What you are building is absolutely amazing—a fast, local, and modern tool that makes stem extraction accessible to everyone without paywalls. Thank you so much for your hard work!

I'd like to share an idea for future models or features: Latin Music Percussion Isolation.

Currently, almost all AI audio separation models focus on Western Pop/Rock stems (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Vocals, Piano). However, Latin music (Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia) has a massive worldwide community of musicians and producers, yet almost no major stem extraction tools cater to its specific percussion:

• Metal Güira (essential for Merengue/Bachata) vs. Wooden Güiro (Salsa/Cumbia)
• Timbales (Cascará vs. Abanico/Rolls)
• Cuban Clave & Bongos / Congas

Having dedicated stems or models trained to distinguish these Latin percussion instruments would be a huge game-changer and an untapped market in the AI audio separation space.

Even if it requires custom training datasets, I wanted to drop this suggestion here to see if anyone in the community would be interested in exploring Latin percussion models!

Keep up the incredible work! 🚀
