The Procedural Sound Design Tool
GameSynth is a revolutionary sound design tool that uses the latest advances in procedural audio to help
you create amazing sound effects. It offers many unique features aimed at game, animation, and movie
production, like the automatic generation of sound variations.
When coupled with the GameSynth run-time engine (sold separately), it can be integrated to your game as a powerful audio middleware; the perfect solution
to fight repetition and increase audio interactivity while saving memory.
Example: Action Sequence
Example: Natural Environments
Example: Daily Life
GameSynth for sound designers
GameSynth Modular Model
Previous version highlights
Procedural Audio Models
GameSynth comes with specialized synthesizers full of unique features, such as Impact, Whoosh, Particles, Footsteps,
Weather etc..
GameSynth is modular and extensible. New synthesizers are constantly added, and they
come entirely free with each GameSynth update!
GameSynth is also a platform: companies and researchers
are adding their own procedural audio models to the GameSynth environment, like Sound Design Lab with their
Engines model.
WHOOSH
Create aerial sounds, from wind to sword whooshes and powerful passbys.
You can also use it for cloth Foley,
ocean waves and more!
Impact / Contact
Generate a large range of physics-oriented sounds,
involving impacts and contacts on many materials,
from
realistic to cartoonish!
MODULAR 
Connect 130+ types of modules to build your own
procedural audio models for any type of sound
(sci-fi,
environment, weapons etc.)!
RETRO
Recreate old-style game sounds with
oscillators, LFOs, filters, envelopes, arpeggiator, effects
and
a powerful modulation matrix!
PARTICLES
Use granular synthesis to design intricate sonic textures.
Control massive amounts of sound particles in
real-time
for truly innovative sounds!
VOICEFX
Assemble effect chains using more than 20 racks
to create your own vocal effects
(robots, creatures,
etc.)!
FOOTSTEPS
Generate Footsteps sounds based on various movements
(walk, run, jump etc.), types of shoes (sneakers,
high heels, boots etc.)
and surfaces (concrete, wood, grass, mud etc.).
WEATHER
Simulate weather sounds: rain and hail on many surfaces
(wood, grass, umbrella, water etc.), wind and tornadoes,
rolling thunder and thunderclaps,
and even rustling leaves.
ENGINES
Make your engine roar
with this physically-accurate and fully-controllable model.
Many types of vehicles
available (F1, motorbike, sports car etc.)! *sold separately
COMING SOON
We are currently developing many other cutting-edge
procedural audio models for your games and movies!
Visual Patching Environment
Create your own procedural audio models by connecting 130+ types of modules (audio and control generators, processors, logic and output modules). GameSynth is easier and faster to use than usual patching system thanks to features and modules specifically aimed at game audio. It is adapted to the fast-paced game production cycle.
The visual patching system comes with many examples of patches, and with a separate manual including helpful tricks to become an expert at patching for game audio!
A few examples of sound generators included in the 130+ modules:
- For environmental sounds: Bubble, Goo, Hail, Leaves, Rain, Rocks, Thunder, Wind…
- For creature vocalizations: Animal, Creature, Footsteps, Gait, Glottis…
- For physics-based interactions: Flag, Fracture, Friction, Modes, Impact, Resonator…
- For machines: Clang, Electricity, Gear, Machine, Motor, Steam…
- For weapons: Bullet Casing, Gun Foley, Gunshots…
- For sample processing: Granular Player, Sample Player, Wavetable…
- For classic synthesis: Beam, Blip, Chaos, Chirp, LFO, MegaSaw, Oscillator, Sine Bank…
Of course, modules for all typical filters, audio processors and effects are also available.
Main Features
Patch Repository
The largest collection of procedural audio models at your fingertips, with ultra-fast searching, sorting, and filtering options, tag clouds, instant preview etc. Perfect to learn and to get inspired!
Explore the perceptual feature map, where similar-sounding patches are displayed close to each other, to discover new patching techniques.
Drop a sample and let GameSynth’s advanced AI find related sound models to start patching faster!
Help Center
All the resources - manuals, tutorial videos, blog posts - available directly from within the tool! Get notified and never miss one!
UCS Support
Support for UCS (Universal Category System) across the tool. Assign categories and subcategories to the patches, use the UCS file naming convention, search patches per category.
Automatic Variations
Assign random ranges to the parameters. New sounds will automatically be generated each time you hit play, and you can render hundreds of them as wave files in one click!
Realistic sounds
Advanced audio analysis algorithms can be used to create realistic impact materials, whoosh envelopes, creature pitch curves and more.
Meta Parameters
Meta-parameters allow for the control of several parameters at once in real-time. Define a “rolling speed” meta-parameter to control the pitch and amplitude of a contact sound!
Automation
Design curves that will automatically control the evolution of one or several parameters over time.
Sketch Pad
Present in all models, the sketch pad allows you to control sound parameters by drawing with the mouse or a stylus. Speed, pressure and trajectories are all taken into account.
Export to Middleware
Generate sound variations automatically, adding them to your project (Wwise, FMOD Studio, ADX2, Audacity, Unity, GameMaker Studio, Cocos2d), creating all the containers, events and even writing scripts!
Command Line Version
Integrate GameSynth into your pipeline by using the command line version. Render existing patches and generate new ones automatically.
Animation File Import
- Maya
- 3ds Max
- MotionBuilder
- Houdini
- Spine
- SpriteStudio
- BVH files
- GameMaker Studio
- Live2D
- And More...
GameSynth can import animation curves and motion capture data from major 2D/3D graphics packages.
It is possible to modify the movement or the duration of an animation and generate a new sound automatically, without having to edit existing sounds or to record new ones.
