GUI Application used to generate purely synthetic engine sounds with advanced options written in Rust
loosely based on this paper
- Variable engine parameters
- Mono WAV recording
- RON SerDe of engine parameters
- Pseudorealistic acoustic pipe/chamber simulation (speed of sound, pipe end reflection) based on the above paper
- Advanced clap-rs powered CLI
- Intake, Exhaust and Engine vibrations mixing
- Resonance dampening (can save your audio equipment and ears)
- Compilation of the GUI is enabled by default ("gui" feature, use
--no-default-featuresto disable) - GUI made with conrod/glium
- Real-time preview of parameters with
cpalaudio streaming - Real-time interactive parameter sliders with small descriptions
- Record/Stop button
- Dropping a config into the window loads the config
- Save button to save the current parameters into a timestamped file in the current working directory
- Reset sampler button to kill resonances in all acoustic chambers
- Headless mode which does not start audio streaming or a GUI
- Config argument to specify the file containing RON-serialized parameters
- Volume/rpm/length arguments to control master volume/engine rpm/recording length
- Crossfade argument which cuts the recording in half, swaps the halves and crossfades the middle x seconds (reduces output length by x/2 seconds), used to make seamless loops
- Warmup time argument to wait for the resonances in the acoustic chambers to be established before recording
Engine Sound Generator 1.3.0
https://github.com/DasEtwas/
GUI Application used to generate purely synthetic engine sounds with advanced options in real-time, written in Rust.
It features real-time recording of the engine, a CLI, automatic crossfading to create seamless loops in the CLI,
realtime frequency domain display through FFT, and preset saving/loading capabilities.
USAGE:
enginesound [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
--help Prints help information
-h, --headless CLI mode without GUI or audio playback
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-c, --config <config> Sets the input file to load as an engine config
-f, --crossfade <crossfade> Crossfades the recording in the middle end-to-start to create a seamless loop,
although adjusting the recording's length to the rpm is recommended. The value
sets the size of the crossfade, where the final output is decreased in length by
crossfade_time/2.
-o, --output <output_file> Sets the output .wav file path
-l, --length <reclen> Sets the time to record in seconds. The formula for the recommended time to
record to get a seamless loop is as follows:
let wavelength = 120.0 / rpm;
let crossfade = wavelength * 2.0;
let reclen = audio_length + crossfade / 2.0;
-r, --rpm <rpm> Engine RPM
-q, --samplerate <samplerate> Generator sample rate [default: 48000]
-v, --volume <volume> Sets the master volume [default: 0.1]
-w, --warmup_time <warmup_time> Sets the time to wait in seconds before recording
Generated using the config shown above while adjusting the RPM manually: Audio file
rpm = 1300
wavelength = 120 / rpm
average_len = 3.2 // seconds
cycles = ceil(average_len / wavelength)
crossfade = 2 * wavelength
length = wavelength * cycles + crossfade / 2
warmup = 2 // seconds
fade_length = crossfade
volume = 0.5 // 50%
enginesound.exe -h -c config_file.esc -o output_file.wav -f $fade_length -l $length -w $warmup -r $rpm -v $volume
On Ubuntu, these dependencies must be installed for the crate to compile (thanks, leosh64):
