Hi Auditory list [apologies for cross-posting] Below is an announcement about what my team have been working on, which is based on a lot of sound perception research.
Thanks, Prof. Josh Reiss Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London ----- Nemisindo (the Zulu word for ‘sounds’) is a start-up company delivering sound design services.
https://youtu.be/j-pVTN5lhuM gives an overview of who we are and what we do. We just launched an online sound design service built around procedural audio. Check it out at https://nemisindo.com .
Anyone can use it, and registered users can download sounds for free.
The service
allows users to create sound effects for games, film and VR without the need for vast libraries of sounds. The platform provides a browser-based service with tools to create sounds from
around 70 classes (engines, footsteps, explosions…) and 700 preselected settings (diesel generator engine, motorbike, Jetsons jet…). It can create almost any sound effect from scratch, in real-time, based on intuitive controls
guided by the user. If someone wants a ‘whoosh’ sound for their game, or footsteps, gunshots, a dripping faucet, raging fire or applauding audience, they just tell the system what they’re looking for and adjust the sound while it's being created. Nemisindo’s platform can also generate sounds that have never been recorded; a dragon roaring, for instance, light sabres swinging and space cannons firing. These sound effects can
be shaped and crafted at the point of creation by the user, breaking through limitations of sampled sounds. Nemisindo’s vision is that if
one can create any sound effect, then one can procedurally generate
almost all sounds in a game, create soundscapes based on sounds that have never been heard before, or have every object in a virtual reality capable of generating sounds that adapt to changing conditions.
It would be great if you could register at
https://nemisindo.com , try it out and let others know who might be interested. |
