Tsugi has introduced GameSynth 2022, a major update to their Windows procedural sound design tool for games and animation.

GameSynth offers many specialized synthesizers for generating sound effects: impacts, whooshes, footsteps, engines, particle-based sounds, environmental sounds, voice effects and more. It also provides a patching environment to build sound effects synthesizers by connecting 130+ modules together.

They say that GameSynth 2022 has been leveled up to be bigger, faster & smarter. Here’s what’s new:

• 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
