The Radioactive Expansion Pack 2 has been released! A 1980s-themed pack, this enhances Radioactive with 3 new maps: HOT FALKLANDS, GREATER SAXONY, and PANDEMONIUM. PANDEMONIUM is interesting having a mix of start locations all over the map.

New colour schemes emulate 8-bit computers. Play blue on blue with COMMODORE 64; BBC MICRO is stark yellow on red emulating many 'primary' computers of the era, and DRAGON 32 features green on green.

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.

SFXEngine Spring Sale On Now

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.

-Full conversion to 64-bit. This means a 10-20% speed increase and access to full memory footprint, permitting much larger projects.
-New V02 file format for projects and programs. V00 and V01 format files will import seamlessly. There are slight technical differences between formats due to improved timing accuracy with each subsequent format. 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.
-More preparations for multi-language support.

Full details in the Readme.txt file. The next SFXEngine release will be the Fantasy Sound Pack.
