[Labbed]

Hello!
Some of you might know about my sound effects generation tool LabChirp, and I thought you might be interested in knowing that I've just released a new version.

The most significant change is the addition of the Effects tab, which lets you add effects/filters such as Reverb, Flanger and Chord to your generated sound.
This also allows for more varied and interesting sounds from the Randomizer.
Full changelog on the download page.

Here is a sound demo showing off the example sounds and some randomized sounds with the different included presets.

As always, I appreciate feedback so please let me know what you think!

Hmmm....what are the advantages of using this over bfxr or sfxr?

[ProgramGamer]

The main advantage I see is that you can make transformations to your sounds with a graph, whereas the likes of bfxr only let you change properties of your sounds with a bunch of sliders that do a million things. In other words, LabChirp is more intuitive in the sense that moving nodes on a graph to automate stuff is easier than changing the values of several sliders to achieve the same effect.

But hey, this isn't a zero sum game, and the way I see it there's nothing preventing you from using both tools if you need features that are exclusive to either one.

I'm not saying bfxr is bad, but listen to the example sounds in LabChirp and try to recreate those in bfxr. LabChirp offers more control and more variety.
The downside, I guess, is that you can't run it in the browser. So if you're working on a new computer every day, you will need to re-download it or keep it on a USB flash drive that you bring with you.

This is excellent, much more control than Bfxr.
