Prepare a dozen variations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOnce the variations are ready, import them into AtomCraft\u2019s Materials folder.<\/p>\n
Implementation<\/h1>\n As this sound relies on an effect chain, we will start by setting up our bus on the Mixer<\/strong> panel.<\/p>\n\nCreate a new DSP Bus<\/em> called \u201cCreature\u201d.<\/li>\nAdd the new bus to the BusMap_Default<\/em>.<\/li>\nAdd Chorus<\/em>, Echo,<\/em> and 32-Bands EQ<\/em> effects on the bus.<\/li>\n\nSet the Rate<\/em> of the Chorus around 0.5 Hz, the Delay Time<\/em> of the Echo at 150 ms, and use the EQ to smooth down any unwanted harshness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
We can now start preparing the Cue:<\/p>\n
\nCreate a Cue<\/em> of type Shuffle<\/em>.<\/li>\nChange its Playback Mode<\/em> to Playlist.<\/li>\nSet the Volume Random Range<\/em> to 0.35 and the Pitch Random Range<\/em> to 200 cents.<\/li>\nIn the Bus Send<\/em> section of the Inspector<\/strong>, deactivate the MasterOut send and activate the Creature send.<\/li>\nDrag and drop your materials on the Cue to create all the necessary tracks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
When triggered, the Cue currently plays one sound after the other. We need a way to retrigger the sounds more often.<\/p>\n
\nIn the same Cue, create an Action Track<\/em>.<\/li>\nAdd a Play action<\/em> between 800 and 1000 ms on the timeline.<\/li>\nDrag the Cue itself onto the Action track\u2019s header to make it the target of the Play action.<\/li>\n \nFinally, to prevent the Cue from retriggering too much, set its Cue Limit Flag<\/em> to True<\/em> and its Cue Limits<\/em> to 4 in the Inspector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
The Cue should now sound more organic, with many whispers being layered. The next step is to use an AISAC to make the sound more reactive.<\/p>\n
\nIn order to control the tracks\u2019 filter, it needs to be activated for each track. In the List Editor<\/strong>, select all the tracks and change the Biquad Filter Type<\/em> to High Pass<\/em>. Also, adjust the Filter Q<\/em> to 1.10.<\/li>\nNow create an AISAC<\/em> at the Cue level to control the Volume<\/em>, Biquad \u2013 Cutoff<\/em>, Playback Rate,<\/em> and EG- Attack Time<\/em> parameters.<\/li>\nFor the Volume<\/em> graph, opt for a curve of fade-in type.<\/li>\nSet the Biquad \u2013 Cutoff<\/em> graph to start at -0.16 and end at -1. Adjust the points in between to have the desired effect.<\/li>\nThe Playback Rate <\/em>graph should go from 0.18 to 1.<\/li>\nThe EG \u2013 Attack Time<\/em> graph should be set to decrease from 600 to 0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis AISAC configuration results in a lighter and smoother sound when the AISAC is low. For higher values, a bigger sound will be produced, as more whispers will be retriggered.<\/p>\n

This Cue can now generate ghostly whispers dynamically to scare your players! You can check all the implementation details and customize them by downloading the project below.<\/p>\n
