Real-Time AI Music Generation in a VST — Feedback Welcome

Hey devs

I’ve been working on Obsidian Neural, a VST3 plugin that integrates Stable Audio Open into music DAWs for real-time generation.

Technical approach:

  • LLM generates contextual prompts from user input
  • Stable Audio Open generates the audio
  • VST handles MIDI triggering, tempo sync, and sample management
  • Cloud inference API + self-hosted options

The goal: make AI audio generation playable rather than just generative.

Challenges I’m tackling:

  • Real-time latency optimization (~10s generation)
  • Context-aware prompt engineering for better results
  • Integration with existing music workflows
