Hi ! Thanks for the feedback ! It could be possible indeed, however I feel that the "frequency range" is a real advantage over wavs. In the wavs case I've seen some pitch changing DSP effects for fmod but as I have read it's very CPU consuming, so this combination would not be viable (wavs + dynamic pitch).
So it makes wavs a bit less dynamic and harder to manage in my opinion since it requires to be specially crafted for each kind of shakers (none of them have the same "optimal" frequency or working range). But I will consider adding it
Possibilities and settings are the master word of Simhub overall
, nobody is the same, no rigs are the same and everyone's 'feedback sweet spot' is different.
Thanks for response.
I am impressed.
Will spend more time with the software, I did manage in only a short period of time find pretty good settings for some of the effects. The options you provide give a lot of scope to alter and find a nice sensation for the tactile unit being used.
What I would say from my own experiences thus far, with the .wav creation the difference is we can generate a signature for the effect to be more, well specific. Kinda like molding the effect for a sensation we want. The .wav can be comprised of many layers combined within its creation to have individual frequencies amplitude vary to others. I have done a lot of testing and file creation experimenting also with altering the amplitude or shifting the frequencies +/- for the .wav used. This gets around the different tactile units issue and the performance characteristics each has.
With SSW this was my solution using Audacity to generate and alter files accordingly.
Some effects would need greater varations in the fundamental frequency used espically if a very low value (5Hz) for the biggest unit was used as this may need to be more like 20Hz for the more common tactile.
Of course what it really comes down to is how good it feels for the effects purpose and operation and indeed different people have not only different installations but preferences too.
Testing
With my setup I can easily run Shakeit but also have SSW operating. Then via a multichannel mixer feel either or both operating. This way I can easily do comparisons of my own .wav effect creations with SSW to what I can achieve from Shakeit.
Certainly needs more and much deeper investigating but clearly some things Shakeit is doing are better (Engine & Speed). SSW does produce however very good lateral and longitudinal G-forces. These on the biggest tactile units can be very enjoyable in the experience felt.
Would be keen to chat in PM to learn more about this software or help regards future testing if you seek user feedback. I do not know what level of testing or breadth of units you get much feedback from or already own and test with.
I dont know how much you see or follow my own ramblings in tactile.
However, the models of tactile units I own and could test with over the coming weeks/months are:
