usfxr lets you quickly generate placeholder (or permanent, I don't judge) sound effects right inside the Unity editor.
This is achieved by being essentially a tiny synthesizer tailored for making bleeps and bloops suitable for games, it comes with several presets to quickly generate a starting point that can be tweaked further.
This project is a reimagining of usfxr tailored for my own prototyping needs.
Add a the SfxrPlayer component to an object in your scene, the main camera is a good spot to put it.
Now, in any MonoBehaviour you wish to play a sound effect, add a public SfxrParams field:
public SfxrParams sfxJump;
This will now get a nice property drawer in the editor where you can tweak its properties or apply any of the provided presets.
To play this sound effect, call the static function on SfxrPlayer:
SfxrPlayer.Play(sfxJump);
That's it!
It takes a few milliseconds to generate a sound effect, to keep things snappy they are cached once generated. If you wish to pre-cache your effects call:
SfxrPlayer.PreCache(this);
This can be done from any MonoBehaviour and will cache all effects across every behaviour despite only taking a reference to one.
Add this repository as a package in the Unity Package Manager.
- Figure out a way to hide parameters that do nothing for the current configuration (ie duty cycle for non square waves)
- Mutations do not work yet
- Add locking of parameters when mutating
- Improve Editor UI implementation (it's not very good)
- Cache sounds before they are played (avoids latency spikes)
- Add Undo/redo history
- Allow for playback of more than one effect at a time
