Argus News

Another update to Argus today:
-First new feature is a right-click in the modulator length box can now be used to calculate and set the speed to one beat of a piece of music. Set FX to your beats-per-minute to use.
-Tracks can be be 'optimally' split, rather than needing to work out the ideal number.
-Edit level editing when no selection is set will now ask to apply per-track.

And a few other changes. Full details are in the Readme.txt file.

Happy animating!

A medium update to Argus today:
-We have slightly different looking mute icons, and new Guide tracks, which behave like muted (off) tracks. These are not affected by solo or all-on commands. Use these to store guide events that you don't want to appear in your film.
-A fix to the import of frame numbers from a text file.
-Setting data (in events) now returns the number of events processed.

And a few smaller changes. Full details are in the Readme.txt file. The manual has been updated too, as happens with all program changes.

Happy animating!

The new Strategy Sound Pack for SFXEngine is released today. This set includes switches and levers, alarms and sirens, and sliding objects. The pack includes a great set of general game event noises for things like bonuses, pick-ups, exits being revealed and G.U.I. events. Some audience applause, and unusual effects like clock ticks round off the collection. Contains 75 sounds, 4 environments, 44 samples, 89 modulators.

Supplied in SFXEngine project format. Easy or modify, with samples and modulators that are free to use and re-use. Far more flexible than a mere sample library.

SFXEngine and the Bolt-On DLC are on sale now for less than 24-hours.

SFXEngine v2.07 is now live.

Two changes in this update:
-New, much more detailed statistics calculated when Save Stats is selected. Results show: Filename, Length, Length (Samples), Description/Notes (left empty for user notes), RMS Total (dB), Max Peak (dB), Max Peak (1/Peak), Samples Clipped, RMS [L] (dB), Max Peak [L] (dB), Peaks [L] -ve/+ve, Samples Clipped [L], RMS [R] (dB), Max Peak [R] (dB), Peaks [R] -ve/+ve, Samples Clipped [R].
-Ctrl and shift key status now reset when a message box appears. If held before, then released when a message box appears, the program loop would assume ctrl/shift was still held, giving the appearance of the keyboard being unresponsive.

Full details of the update in the Readme.txt file.

The next SFXEngine release will be the Strategy Sound Pack. A mix of switches and levers, alarms and sirens, and sliding objects, and more.
