Free sound effects for all!

Posted by The-Super-Flash-Bros Sep. 16, 2009 @ 11:10 AM EDT

Hey guys,

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER OR NOT @SFBTom

In my spare moments over the last week or two, I've been porting the excellent sfxr by Tomas Pettersson into AS3, and it's finally done!

If you haven't used sfxr before, it's a really neat app that lets you generate your own custom game sound effects, using the same kind of synthesizers that the classic consoles used. When you're done tweaking the sound, you can save it out as a .wav ready to import into Flash

I've added a few features into my version, like history buttons and copy/paste functionality, but everything from the original is there too, even the .wav export feature!

Play around with the app here

Even better, I've made it open source too, so you can use the synthesizer in your own code. That means for roughly 10kB, you can have as many sound effects in your game/movie as you like, without adding more filesize for each one. Check out the google code description page for a very simple demo of how to use SfxrSynth in your work, and to download the source code.

Google Code project here

AS3, FP10 for the code only though I'm afraid. If you're using an earlier version, you can always export the .wav from the app to use just like any other!

Man, that app is wicked!

you deserve a lot of props for this! It seems like it could be infinitely useful, and it's just fun to play around with :D!


Sep. 16, 2009 | 11:51 AM Stickman91 says:

Wow, this is really cool! I've found myself hunting around the web for simple sound sound effects on many occasions, and it looks like this app provides a far easier and more fun way to obtain them!

BIG THANKS TO TOMAS PETTERSSON AND YOU FOR BEING SO AWESOME!!! :D :D :D


Sep. 16, 2009 | 12:01 PM BoMToons says:

That is REALLY amazing. I absolutely hate tracking down sound effects for games. I'll definitely be using this. You rock!

Sep. 16, 2009 | 12:07 PM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Me too, so when Dim sent me a (broken) link to the original sfxr, I was overjoyed! I figured having it as a flash app will let more people use it, plus it was a fun challenge for me. Yay!


Sep. 16, 2009 | 12:19 PM Hulalaoo says:

Yeah ! We search this all my life, thanks guy !


Sep. 16, 2009 | 12:23 PM Wonchop says:

I like how it has an export wav button, though you have to make sure to stick .wav on the end of the filename when you save it.


Sep. 16, 2009 | 1:04 PM Luis says:

that really is awesome


Sep. 16, 2009 | 1:31 PM matt-likes-swords says:

Sep. 16, 2009 | 5:11 PM Rucklo says:

Sep. 16, 2009 | 8:16 PM FourSwordsKing says:

Ok, honestly, as of now, I have no idea what the fuck all this is because I don't have flash yet. I'll be getting it soon though.....hopefully.


Sep. 16, 2009 | 9:28 PM MrAbnormal says:

Old news bro


Sep. 17, 2009 | 2:23 AM RubberNinja says:

Haha, I was using this to do the sound effects for my series Gameoverse. Nice.

Did I ever tell you how much I love you


Sep. 22, 2009 | 5:11 PM psychomilkman says:

You've forgotten about decline of gaming, your best series :[


Oct. 9, 2009 | 7:01 PM turtleco says:

at first I was like overwhelmed I had no idea what was going on but then I just started clicking the random button and all of the genorators. I was amazed. It could make some sweet stuff if you were patient enough.


Oct. 9, 2009 | 7:12 PM Kajenx says:

Ohhh, sound effect generation in flash! I'll bite! :3


Oct. 9, 2009 | 8:00 PM Whirlguy says:

Holy shit, flash is capable of doing that nowadays?!


Oct. 9, 2009 | 10:03 PM K-Guare says:

I love you.


Oct. 9, 2009 | 10:38 PM mongoid says:

You bastard... I'll be up for days playing with this thing.

>:-O


Oct. 9, 2009 | 10:49 PM Neo-Fusion says:

It;s a shame I have flash 8, I could really use this.

Oct. 11, 2009 | 10:09 AM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

You can still export sounds you make with the web app straight to .wav, to use in any flash, 8 included

Oct. 10, 2009 | 3:00 AM scartheatre says:

Whoa man, thanks! I'll definitely be using this a whole lot!

Oct. 10, 2009 | 1:30 PM TheBoxOffice says:

Oct. 11, 2009 | 10:10 AM The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:
