2G is a sampler that looks and sounds like an early-2000s handheld devices. We imagined what Neural Synthesis would have been like back then. Describe a sound and 2G makes it. Then edit it and play it from your computer keyboard, or load your own audio instead. 2G is free for Windows and macOS, as a plugin or a standalone app, and starts you with 20 credits for generating sounds. Studio ($10/month, 7-day trial) gives you 200 credits a month.

Could you build this?
Partial The retro sampler UI, keyboard playback, and audio editing are buildable with audio libraries, but the core text-to-sound feature requires a generative audio model that a solo builder must license or run.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a desktop app (for example Electron or a native audio framework) with a sample-playback engine and an editor. The hard piece is text-to-audio generation, which can be done by calling a hosted audio model API or running an open model locally, and that requires GPU inference and tuning of audio quality.
