SFXEngine v2.06 is now live.

Changes include:
-Improvements to half-rectangular dithering ("16-Bit").

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

SFXEngine Fantasy Sound Pack Released
The new SFXEngine Fantasy Sound Pack is released today. Developed for role playing and dungeon-style games, the Fantasy pack contains 75 sounds; a hefty selection of action sounds, eat/drink, pick-up and drop effects for items, dungeon style weapon effects, trap sounds, monster roar and attack effects, and some cave drips and other sounds useful for atmospheric ambience.

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

SFXEngine was recently updated too. Find SFXEngine and the new sound pack here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2438590/SFXEngine/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3414090/SFXEngine_Sound_Pack_Fantasy/

Upgrades and new features to SFXEngine will continue throughout the year.

Welcome to SFXEngine v2.05, and Spring Sale Active
SFXEngine v2.05 is now live.

Two new engines in this update:
-Stone Compression is a mathematically ideal dynamic compressor. Compressors make loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder, and are most useful for equalising the volume of natural sounds like voices.
-Gothic Limiter will boost and limit the sound to a fixed Ceiling level, scaling everything between Floor and Sky to fit between Floor and Ceiling. Along with the Stone Compressor, this is another way to boost and equalise volume.
-The render format options, depth and stereo status are now stored between sessions.
-Plus a few smaller changes.

Details of the new engines in the manual, and full details of the update in the Readme.txt file.

SFXEngine and all of the Bolt-On DLC are currently on sale. The next SFXEngine release will be the Fantasy Sound Pack on 30th April.

Welcome to 64-Bit SFXEngine v2.04
SFXEngine v2.04 is now live.

Something of a major update today, SFXEngine now works in 64-bit.

As with every format change, files saved here won't load in older versions of SFXEngine.
-All engines recompiled in 64-bit and V02 format.
-Modulator maximum size increased to match the virtually unlimited maximum sample size.
