Vorch-Omni: Multi-Task Orchestration of Sight and Sound

Recent advances in generative video modeling have enabled diverse generation, reference-based synthesis, extension, and editing, but existing approaches often rely on fragmented task-specific models. A general model must distinguish heterogeneous target, source, and reference signals to determine what to generate, preserve, or use as guidance, while reducing interference among tasks.

Quality Audio Prototyping: a prototype system for unified sound retrieval and procedural generation

arXiv:2606. 00629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sound design workflows frequently oscillate between time-consuming library searches and the complexity of procedural synthesis, with practitioners typically relying on disconnected tools to address each challenge separately.

SCAPES: Semantically Conditioned Autoregressive Prior for Environmental Sounds

SCAPES is a lightweight, resource‑efficient generative model that synthesizes high‑fidelity environmental sounds with high‑level semantic control. It operates on the continuous latent manifold of a neural audio codec, using a segmentation strategy and a Continuous Normalizing Flow to model latent trajectories. A 36‑million‑parameter instance can be trained on limited, uncurated data with a single consumer‑grade GPU, achieving convergence in roughly twice the source audio duration and enabling smooth semantic interpolation.
