# jamesondh/chimera-vocal-synth

> A browser-based vocal synthesizer built on physical modeling: sound comes from a simulated airway rather than samples. The Rust engine compiles to WebAssembly for an AudioWorklet and also runs natively via a CLI.

## Useful for

- Synthesize English text or IPA in the browser while adjusting articulation
- Render a vocal part from a piano roll with lyrics and a beatbox pattern via CLI
- Compare the synthesized voice against a real singer using CSD metrics

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–01:27: 609 → 651 stars (+42). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +480 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 651 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #21.
- Hacker News: “Chimera Vocal Synth” — 75 points, 3 h ago.
- About 62 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 74
- Issues and pull requests: 40
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 227 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 27

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
