SFXEngine News

SFXEngine v2.04 is now live.

Something of a major update today, SFXEngine now works in 64-bit.

-Full conversion to 64-bit. This means a 10-20% speed increase and access to full memory footprint, permitting much larger projects.
-New V02 file format for projects and programs. V00 and V01 format files will import seamlessly. There are slight technical differences between formats due to improved timing accuracy with each subsequent format. As with every format change, files saved here won't load in older versions of SFXEngine.
-All engines recompiled in 64-bit and V02 format.
-Modulator maximum size increased to match the virtually unlimited maximum sample size.
-More preparations for multi-language support.

Full details in the Readme.txt file. The next SFXEngine release will be the Fantasy Sound Pack.

A new Sound Pack for SFXEngine is out today. The Footsteps Sound Pack contains 75 footstep sounds on different surfaces: hard floors, grass, snow, plus monster steps, robotic steps, and several environments for different occasions. Supplied in SFXEngine project format. Easy use and modify, with lots of samples and modulators that are free to use and re-use. Far more flexible than a mere sample library.

SFXEngine was updated today too. Find SFXEngine and the latest sound pack here:

A small update to SFXEngine today before the launch of the Footsteps Sound Pack to come in a few hours! A few small changes here:
-A fix to text entry. Pressing Escape on a text box used to trigger the press to Quit Program, it won't now.
-An important repair to the Sine Wave, Sine Wave Adv, Triangle Wave, Triangle Wave Adv, Pulse Wave, Pulse Wave Adv engines, which accidentally had limits of -24/+24 rather than -48/+48. Now the GreenBlade preset hums correctly with its intended powerful glory!
-Updates to program text, enabling future multi-language support.

Happy Sound Making,
