11:00 AM CET – 12:00 PM CET | Game-Driven Synthesis with Wwise

Speaker: Mads Maretty Sønderup

Imagine the sound of a spaceship engine that shifts timbre as it speeds up, or adds shimmer as it starts to land and deploy its wings. Normally, you’d need layers of synthesis samples from your DAW and careful loop points to pull this off, or you could simply fully or partly use some of the synthesis plug-ins already available in Wwise, each allowing for direct parameter control with the game mechanisms. Join this presentation to get a practical introduction to plug-ins like SoundSeedGrain, a granular synthesis plug-in designed for runtime use. You are welcome to bring your own computers and follow along as we dive into the plugins. If so, make sure you have the following installed: Wwise 2025.1.0 or newer, including all the SoundSeed plug-ins and Impactor.
