Modern text-to-speech (TTS) systems can synthesize natural and expressive speech, yet a practical speech foundation model must go beyond naturalness to offer stable quality, precise controllability, and a broad set of composable capabilities within a unified framework. We present TTSonic, a unified speech generation model that supports zero-shot TTS, voice cloning, prosody cloning, instruction following, voice conversion, and cloning from noisy reference speech. Rather than relying on separate task-specific models, TTSonic accommodates diverse conditioning signals, including text, natural language instructions, reference speech, and text-described timbre, within the same model framework. Specifically, we develop a semantic--acoustic disentangled speech tokenizer through ASR-supervised semantic learning and reconstruction-guided generative refinement. Serving as the representational foundation of our unified framework, the tokenizer enables the Text-to-Semantic autoregressive model to focus on semantic and prosodic planning, while the acoustic flow-matching model specializes in high-quality speech rendering under diverse acoustic and timbre conditions. Building on this framework, we incorporate CoT-guided instruction-following planning and Text2Timbre voice design to support controllable speech generation. Experiments across zero-shot synthesis, multilingual and cross-lingual TTS, instruction following, voice design, voice conversion, and noisy-reference cloning demonstrate the competitive performance and broad applicability of TTSonic.
