Downloaded #lsdj and made my first song with a #tracker. Takes some getting used to, but they clearly put a lot of work into making it user friendly. Lots of fun! youtube.com/shorts/OtwIh...

Have been replaying Final Fantasy IX and decided to finally transcribe this short musical phrase that plays whenever the player rests. In the game each chord sustains into the other, and I really like the sound of the E natural over the Db triad.

Spare a thought for all sound designers taking part in #GlobalGameJam who are just making bubble pop sounds for three days straight 🫣😆 #GGJ25 #GGJ2025

GapTuner (real-time pitch detection Wwise plugin) v1.1.0 is out! Adds game-object-level RTPC support + optional zeroing out unpitched input. Give it a whirl at github.com/usdivad/GapT...
Also here's a demo using pitch from GapTuner + volume from Wwise Meter to drive a flute player animation 🦴

Really pleased with how our @github.com gameoff jam entry came out! I contributed programming, sound design and audio implementation. I programmed the menus and a couple of dynamic audio systems. You can play it here: pnaser74.itch.io/song-of-decay !

Noisevember Day 30 - Finale
I went with a fanfare as it felt appropriate. This was so much fun and I learned a lot over the course of the month!

Noisevember Day 29 - Q
"Bouncy" patch on @kilohearts.com phaseplant. It’s just a sawtooth wave and a sample of a jawharp each with a modulated filter with a high “Q” setting. The upper register sounds like character dialogue in the style of animal crossing.

This instantly made me think of the iconic alert sound from metal gear, so I decided to try to recreate it, which turned out to be way tougher than I thought. including the original for comparison.

Made by playing a couple triads and sending them into 2 separate instances of Soundtoys' crystallizer plus one phaseplant patch with 3 layers of delay and pitch modulation.

Tricky one today. Made a digital meditation bell from a recording of the bowl from a stand mixer, with a sine wave doubling upper overtones.

Recently got phase plant so thought I’d try designing a tiger sound from some noise generators. Might sound a little more like a thunderstorm, but oh well 😅 So much you can do with the modulators!

Noisevember Day 22 - Silky
Not sure how silky this is, but this track is what I came up with after trying to design a "silky" patch. All (3) tracks come from chipsynth 64 and in the video you can see how you can switch between frames to create a fun bassline

Noisevember Day 20 - Deja Vu
Went for a full on dream sequence this time (because seeing deja vu as a prompt again gave me semi-actual deja vu!)
Still digging into what chipsynth 64 can do with transposition and wave shape automation inside the plug in.

Had fun recording myself crushing a jalapeno, kale and grapes, but wanted to avoid the obvious gore, so I turned the sounds into a futuristic computer like one in Chrono Trigger’s future. Included unprocessed sound for fun/comparison
