Footsteps Generator (Snow/Ice/Dirt/Gravel) - Phase Plant
I was inspired by Joel Blanco Berg's video on snow footsteps foley and decided to take it up a notch and create my own procedural footsteps generator in Phase Plant. This preset is focused primarily on snow, but should be able to replicate ice, dirt and gravel as well - just tweak the macros!
Also, be sure to "play" the keyboard in a strum fashion (3 notes at a time) to get that nice crunchy walk , or 2 notes for faster movement. See the video example: https://youtu.be/ZrcLdRDhfZ0
Macros:
• Speed – Modulates the walk/run speed of the footsteps.
• Powder – Adds high-frequency “fairy dust” on top.
• Surface – Changes the surface type.
• Muffle – Muffles the sound.
• Size – Modifies the character’s size.
• Distance – Switches between 1st-person and 3rd-person perspectives.
• Width – Controls the stereo field.
• Weight – Adjusts the character’s weight.
Requirements:
Latest version of Phase Plant (developed on 2.3.1).
+ SliceEQ, Snap Heap modules to get the most out of the patch.
But it should still work as is, though.
Thanks to Joel for inspiration and to Kilohearts for an amazing suite of audio processing tools.
