Curious why these tools are not going in the direction of co-creation? Allow the end-user to tinker, play along, and turn the dials on what would be a very advanced synthesizer.
Yes, but as a producer I would like to have more simplistic generations such as "Generate me 15 variations of a kick that sounds like X", I think stuff like this would be much more useful.
It is slow but usable via opencode on a mbp m3 max 48 gb. So I guess hosted is still the better option for most people.
The local models are considerably better relative to the hosted ones compared to 6 months ago. Bench maxing or not - stuff is happening in this area for sure.
