v2023 Tsugi GameSynth

Patch Repository

The largest collection of procedural audio models at your fingertips, with ultra-fast searching, sorting, and filtering options, tag clouds, instant preview, etc. Perfect to learn and to get inspired!

Explore the perceptual feature map, where similar-sounding patches are displayed close to each other, to discover new patching techniques.

Drop a sample and let GameSynth’s advanced AI find related sound models to start patching faster!

Sketch Pad

Present in all models, the sketch pad allows you to control sound parameters by drawing with the mouse or a stylus. Speed, pressure, and trajectories are all taken into account.

Sample Manipulation

Give a new life to your sound libraries by drawing with your samples in Particles or processing them in VoiceFX. Use them in the sample and granular players of the patching environment.

Sample Analysis

Advanced audio analysis algorithms can be used to create real impact materials, whoosh envelopes, creature pitch curves, and more.
All the resources – manuals, tutorial videos, blog posts – are available directly from within the tool! Get notified and never miss one!

Automatic Variations

Assign random ranges to the parameters. New sounds will automatically be generated each time you hit play, and you can render hundreds of them as wave files in one click!

Meta Parameters

Meta-parameters allow for the control of several parameters at once in real-time. Define a “rolling speed” meta-parameter to control the pitch and amplitude of a contact sound!

Animation File Import

• Maya
• 3ds Max
• MotionBuilder
• Houdini
• Spine
• SpriteStudio
• BVH files
• GameMaker Studio
• Live2D
• And More…

GameSynth can import animation curves and motion capture data from major 2D/3D graphics packages.

It is possible to modify the movement or the duration of the animation and generate a new sound automatically, without having to edit existing sounds or record new ones.

Automation

Design curves that will automatically control the evolution of one or several parameters over time.

Export to Middleware

Generate sound variations automatically, adding them to your project (Wwise, FMOD Studio, ADX2, Audacity, Unity, Game Maker, Cocos2d), creating all the containers, events, and even writing scripts!

Help Center

All the resources – manuals, tutorial videos, and blog posts are available directly from within the tool! Get notified and never miss one!

UCS Support

Support for UCS (Universal Category System) across the tool. Assign categories and subcategories to the patches, use the UCS file naming convention, and search patches per category.

GameSynth Tool API

Control GameSynth remotely from game middleware, audio tools, animation packages, and more. Scripts provided for Unity, Reaper, Pure Data, etc.

Command Line Version

Integrate GameSynth into your pipeline by using the command line version. Render existing patches and generate new ones automatically.

Interface with/h2>

Export directly to Wwise, FMOD, ADX2, Unity, and Cocos2d!

Compatible with Windows Please Note: WINDOWS ONLY

GameSynth 2022, March 31, 2022

New features in GameSynth 2022:

Bigger:

• 1000+ sound models of all types and styles in the repository.
• 15 new modules in the patching environment: Horn, Parametric, Stutter, Wavefolder, Drifter etc…
• New LFO shapes, Noise types, Formant parameters and more.
• 8 new effect racks in Voice FX: Clipper, Comb Filter, Frequency Shifter, Limiter, Resonator, Spectral Delay, Stutter, and Tube.
• Import of SVG drawings and new scripting functions in the Sketch Pad.
• New audio exporters (GameMaker Studio, Audacity).
• New animation curve importers (GameMaker Studio, Live2D).

Faster:

• New module selector to quickly add modules by type, name, status etc…
• Partial playback to instantly check audio signals going through wires.
• New wire context menu to speed up patching.
• Snap wiring and automatic modules reconnection.
• Automatic .wav rendering for different meta-parameter values.
• Updated automatic export to game middleware (Wwise, FMOD…)

Smarter:

• AI-powered perceptual map to find similar sound models.
• Audio analysis to find sound models close to a wave file.
• Patch search based on the modules used.
• Improved random patch creator.
• Variation detection in the run-time exporter

What’s new in v2019.2?

New Weather Model

The brand new “Weather” model can simulate the sounds of:

• Rain and hail on different surfaces (concrete, wood, grass, metal, glass, umbrella, plastic, water…).
• Wind, from gentle breeze to tornado.
• Rumbling thunder and sharp thunderclaps.
• Rustling leaves and bushes based on the speed of the wind.

These are all generated procedurally – without using any sample – for a fully controllable, high-quality sound with an ultralow memory footprint.

Animation Curves Import

GameSynth 2019.2 also introduces support for the most popular 2D and 3D animation packages (Maya, 3ds Max, Motion Builder, Houdini, SpriteStudio, Spine etc…). For the first time in a sound design tool, it is now possible to import animation curves and motion capture data and to link them directly to sound parameters.

In GameSynth, if an animation curve is modified or its duration is changed, the sound can simply be recalculated, without needing to record new material or to edit existing samples, therefore saving a lot of time.

New Modules and Features

Many new modules are available in the Modular: a realistic Fire module (ideal for campfires, explosions, torches, fireballs, dragon attacks etc.), a Script module to develop your own sound generators in C#, as well as Looper, Repeater and Rectifier modules among others.

Patching has never been easier too! With the new Auto-Connect feature, modules are automatically connected based on their type and proximity to other modules, as well as your own patching history!  Quick-access menus and the possibility to write notes on your patches will help you patch like a pro!

Online Patch Repository Access

Finally, in GameSynth 2019.2, the biggest collection of procedural audio patches for game and movies is just one click away! We integrated the online patch repository and you can now browse this collection of high-quality procedural sound effects directly from GameSynth 2019.2. Ideal to get some inspiration and kickstart a great sound design session!
