DSP Motion

Tsugi’s DSP Motion generated sound effects from gestures drawn on a canvas. Users selected an audio style—such as fire, water, electricity, machinery or animals—and mapped motion characteristics including rotation or scale.

Finished effects could be exported as WAV files or sent directly to Unity. At publication, the Windows-only application cost US$49; that historical price and availability may have changed.

Sound teams should evaluate repetition, editability, sample rate and licensing before using generated effects in production.
