SFXEngine Strategy Sound Pack Released
The new Strategy Sound Pack for SFXEngine is released today. This set includes switches and levers, alarms and sirens, and sliding objects. The pack includes a great set of general game event noises for things like bonuses, pick-ups, exits being revealed and G.U.I. events. Some audience applause, and unusual effects like clock ticks round off the collection. Contains 75 sounds, 4 environments, 44 samples, 89 modulators.

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

SFXEngine and the Bolt-On DLC are on sale now for less than 24-hours.

SFXEngine Summer Sale Now On

Welcome to SFXEngine v2.07
SFXEngine v2.07 is now live.

Two changes in this update:

Results show: Filename, Length, Length (Samples), Description/Notes (left empty for user notes), RMS Total (dB), Max Peak (dB), Max Peak (1/Peak), Samples Clipped, RMS [L] (dB), Max Peak [L] (dB), Peaks [L] -ve/+ve, Samples Clipped [L], RMS [R] (dB), Max Peak [R] (dB), Peaks [R] -ve/+ve, Samples Clipped [R].
-Ctrl and shift key status now reset when a message box appears. If held before, then released when a message box appears, the program loop would assume ctrl/shift was still held, giving the appearance of the keyboard being unresponsive.

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

The next SFXEngine release will be the Strategy Sound Pack. A mix of switches and levers, alarms and sirens, and sliding objects, and more.
