Sample Project

The Footsteps example demonstrates how you can create a simple hierarchy of Switch Containers to create variation for an otherwise repetitive sound.

To listen to the Footsteps example:

In this example, the parent Switch Container includes three footstep types:

Each of these three footstep types contains another Switch Container that determines the surfaces on which the characters will walk:

To create diversity for each footstep type to material association, a Random Container containing between four and six variations has been created for each variation. The complete hierarchy looks like this:

To further avoid repetition, volume and pitch is randomized each time a new footstep is played. To see the random ranges, double click on the volume or pitch randomizer icon on the top-level Switch Container named “Footstep_Types”.
