SFXEngine is sound effects creation software that uses custom programmed D.S.P. technology to create amazing new sounds quickly and easily. SFXEngine is easier and faster to use than music synthesizers, and gives you more power because any parameter can be modulated to any pattern you desire.
New in Version 1.10
- Two new effect engines: Long Period Delay and Combed Chorus
- An export sound list feature
- A "Phase Modulator" option to edit modulators
- Improvements and fixed to the statistics
- New HTML documentation
- ... and more!
The trial version below now includes all of these updates.
The Power To Create
SFXEngine is powerful sound creation software for Windows PC's. Using a plug-in based synthesis system, you can use SFXEngine to quickly and easily create any sound or add new audio effects to existing sounds.
Sound Engines
Like filters in graphics programs, the engines in SFXEngine are plug-in files that create or manipulate sound in some way. The 'Sample' engine will play a sample of your choice, and the 'Nitroverb' engine will add reverb. Up to twelve engines are placed in series to make a program.
The twelve boxes in the picture, S1 to S12, are the engines. The three letter abbreviations show that the engines there are Static White (WvW), Amplitude Modulator (AmM), Tuned Flange (DyT) and Band Pass Filter (BpB).
Modulation
Modulation is power. Every engine in SFXEngine has a number of parameters, the Low Pass Filter engine for example has Cutoff frequency as a parameter. What makes SFXEngine so powerful is that any parameter or any engine can be modulated, changed over time in any way that you want.
Here, the volume is faded in and out to give the impression of breathing. The Length parameter shows that the modulator takes 2.5 seconds to cycle.
Environments
Environments give you another layer of processing. Using another set of engines, you can apply the same audio effects to all of your sounds. You might create a cavern environment, or a tunnel environment. You can add as many environments as you like to a project, and naturally you can load and save environments between projects.
Rendering
Batch processing is no problem in SFXEngine. When you're ready to save out all of your sounds, the render option will save each one as a wav file. You can specify which environment to use and whether to save all of your sounds or just one. You can save stereo or mono files, in 44100, 22050 or 11025hz, and sounds are optionally trimmed to zero so there is no need for further editing.
Quality
All sample data in SFXEngine has a minimum of 24-bit sample resolution. When you load a sample, it is oversampled up to times eight (352.8khz) to attain maximum processing quality.
Tried And Tested
The software core has been in private professional use for over 18 months and has undergone many revisions in that time. We can't promise it won't ever crash but as sound designers and game software developers, we consider SFXEngine very reliable.
