Yeah I checked that out.

As opposed to synthetic sound, procedural sound is run real-time on the client. Synthetic sound *can be* computed a priori in the studio and recorded. Spore seemed to be hinting at the former, which get me very excited because it's exactly my work with physics engine tie in to the sounds, but from what I can make of their propaganda it isn't actually what they are doing. I hear that EA are using Puredata now, but still for synthetic sound. I don't actually know any examples of games working with runtime sound synthesis objects. > -- > Mechanize something idiosyncratic. > > _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
