Heya AegisRom,

If you drop by the Syrinscape forums, there's a pretty amazingly useful community there who can recommended content. You should be able to describe the feel and a few locations etc and get some pointers to what to put together.

And definitely this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGgtuJsaMwQ
(Though this is missing a mention of the brand new shiny search in the Master UI that makes things even easier = you can opt into switching that on in the your profile page on the website)

Have you been using the Hell's Rebels sounds? Enjoy?

Hi PieRat,

The SoundSets work completely within the Syrinscape Players, yes. They are not so much DRMed, but need Syrinscape's amazing machine to bring them to life, randomisation, positioning, customisation, tweeking, trigger OneShot events etc...

For using them with Roll20, we made this especially for you:

Works? :-)

Hi,

Best thing to do here is contact Paizo support. They will check your purchase and contact us (Syrinscape) directly. I make a hand pressed Voucher Code and they deliver it to you.

Meanwhile we are taking a hammer to the two servers, to get them talking to each other again!

Can you strip some stuff from the stuff I have access to?

Sometimes it just loops back.
Sometimes it delivers an empty downloads page.

Too many objects to render in time?

Any luck?

HI, I can't log into my Downloads page: :-(

1) I click on the "my downloads" link at the top right (already logged in)
2) I land on https://secure.paizo.com/paizo/account/assets
3) "Please sign in to continure" (as it has always been)
4) Enter details and click "sign in"
5) Spinny thing spins
6) Returns to step 2)

Help? :-)

a) Using Chrome on Windows 10
b) Tried Internet Explorer and it worked once and then went back to doing the above

HELP!

Anyone?

And also...

HELLOO!! :-) :-) :-)

Here's a direct link to every Syrinscape that works with Starfinder (with the filter described by Steve)
Everything Starfinder

There are Docking Bays, Discos, Nebulas, Sci-fi planets, an Alien Cantina, a Cryogenic Facility lots of Creatures and more...

As actual official Starfinder content so far we've got:
* Every Starship in the Core Rulebook
* Every Starship weapon in the Core Rulebook
* Every Handheld weapon in the COre Rulebook

And coming soon:
* Chapter One of the AP.

Video about combining our Core Rulebook Starships with the weapons to build your precise custom Starship you have built here

For completeness on this thread, since someone already mentioned that Syrinscape is making SoundSets for Starfinder... they're done! :)

Epic movie style music, distinct engine sounds for every culture, actions for each role on the bridge, every weapon in the Starfinder Core Rulebook , and more...

Find them all here on paizo.com here and here
(there's sometimes a couple of products missing from here, so check syrinscape.com too)

...and here on syrinscape.com

There are demo videos of everything, and you can sub to unlock everything and all the usual types of things.

This was so fun to build sounds for!

Have a peek behind the curtain at some of the fun we had making these noises here:
Behind the curtain of Syrinscape's "In search of sanity" SoundPack ..

Answered already on our forums, but repeated here for other's info!

Hi,

All good questions! :-)

1) Yep.
2) Yes, you can actually download content you own onto any device you sign into with your email+password. You can be signed into three devices at once (so you could even share an account with a friend if you really wanted to)
3) No picking required, because of the reasons above.

NOTE: As well as Windows and MAC, Syrinscape also runs on Android and iOS (iPad & iPhone).

Ask more questions!

And here's the game I'm talking about:Dicestormers' Halloween Special.

Hi, the company is Warpo.

They are really really really cool!

Hi Taedin,

We are looking into this.

It like you've successfully redeem a few other SoundSets on this order, correct?

Why don't you contact me directly on benjamin at syrinscape dot com and I'll activate the missing stuff directly on our server.

And then we'll continue to work out where the gremlins in the system are hiding! :-)

Ben

The splelleling mistake is fixed in the App now! :-)

Oh, you mean "screaches?" :-)

Darn! Discovered! :-D

Ha ha! :-)

I was going to comment about it being the wrong video, but in the time it took to click the link you guys fixed it.

WHISPERED: "No one's found the spelling mistake in the SoundSet that the Video shows up... yet!!"

Does anyone know of any computer programs, or phone apps, that would allow a person to create themed playlists and then switch to those playlists with a quick button press?

You've got to try Syrinscape.

Jump on the Homepage and watch the "What is Syrinscape" video at the bottom.

Make sure you check out the new Syrinscape PC SoundSets! Now players can set off their spells etc.

So the GM, runs the general background music and the roars of the mosters and when the Wizard casts a spell, that player hits her own Fireball sound... so much cooler than just saying, "I cast Fireball"

PC SoundSets demo video here.

And don't forget, you can buy Syrinscape stuff in the paizo store now too! Woot!

yeah Marc its freaking awesome :)

Sooo coool!

I would prefer to pay through Paizo as well.

Done!

It took a while, but you can now buy through paizo!

Woot!

Serious cool idea about the text to Voice converter!! Come on FUTURE! Be here already!!! :-)

Request for content are ALWAYS appreciated. Basically whoever is loudest is most likely to get what they want! :-D

Hey, and have you all voted for Syrinscape in the ENnies yet?!?!

:-D JPSTOD

I feel the HATE! :-D

What are you just about to finish playing now? ...and I'll build for that too! ;-)

Yes, I had that once trying to browse from my phone too. Perhaps contact Paizo support directly about this one... I reckon they almost certainly won't notice your post here! :-)

Yes. We are continuing on with the Adventure Paths. "Hell's Rebels" is next, and we'll keep releasing individual monsters and locations and an occasional stand alone module along the way.

People are now making and sharing custom "Campaigns" (left hand column orderings) on the Syrinscape Forums now, so you can get a setup ready to play for many of the good modules already.

In fact, there's nothing to stop someone creating a 'campaign' setup and sharing on the Paizo forums too.

GenCon is going to be really fun this year!

Especially this:
https://www.gencon.com/events/72585.

It was super fun at PaxAus and my group for this one is AMAZING!

Hi Drakir2010,

There are several ways you can get the sounds going in the Syrinscape Players.

1) Each Player (Fantasy and Sci-Fi) comes with 2 free SoundSets so you can test them out, make sure they work on your machine, and see if you like them.

2) You can (as you mentioned) subscribe to all the content. This gets you permanent ownership of everything we release while you are a subscriber PLUS everything in the back catalogue unlocks while you remain a subscriber. You can buy 2 month blocks of subscription here at paizo and apply as many as you like to your account at syrinscape.com. The subscription blocks you buy here at Paizo don't automatically renew.

3) You can just buy individual SoundSets here as well. You pay once, and you own it forever.

Does that all make sense to you?

Feel free to ask more questions so I can clarify further. Also, check out syrinscape.com for lots more info (in the store and FAQ). OR ask questions at forum.syrinscape.com and users themselves can help you.

Ben

deusvult... drop me a line on: benjamin at syrinscape dot com and I'll sort you out. :-)

Oh oh oh! All the positivety! :-)

So glad everyone's pleased!!!

Have fun with all the NOISE!

Hi Nullpunkt,

We are announcing the next Adventure Path we will be covering.... very soon! ;-)

Also expect lots more generic locations and monsters coming out in every middle month. There are three really good ones coming just next week!

Now's a good time to jump on the subscription so they'll all be yours!

Ben

Wow Gwaihir Scout,

Thanks for taking the time with these excellent instructions! :-)

What will please people even more is we are heading towards a player that will work online.

Kind of like this:
1. The GM will have a MASTER version which she uses normally.
2. The GM master Player will send server calls to SLAVE players on all the nonlocal machines.
3. None of Syrinscape's high quality audio will he jammed down the internet, just audio cues.

Sounds good?!?!?

For the moment though us the instructions above, they are excellent!

Thanks,

Ben

Sweet, you've caught up with my campaign. Temporarily.

A whole Chapter of Adventure path comes out every other month... so that means we'll be finishing "Rise of the Runelords" in April!

Who can go faster?!?! That's the question! :-D

Hi Daronil,

there was about a 30 minute hole there where the cloud serving broke. Lots of downloads all over the world. It's all working now.

Thanks so much, everybody for all the support!

Gaming just got a little bit louder!

:-)

Our next big UI rebuild is going to use far more standard components. We are dropping the whole skeuomorphic thing... so it might potentially be much more useful for you.

You'll be able to zoom right in and all that sort of stuff.

Does that help?

Ben

Hmm... very very interesting!

If you actually want to get a sense of the direction we are heading, then have a go of our SoundSet Creator Beta here: Syrinscape SoundSet Creator Beta.

I'm sure it would be a fascinating conversation!

Hi Joey,

While you are a subscriber, everything that comes out every month you own permanently = $6.50pm cost for about $14.00pm worth of Fantasy Stuff.

PLUS everything in the back catalogue unlocks (as long as you remain a sub = as you said) = about $240 worth of stuff (including ALL the Adventure Path content)

OR

You can do the same sort of thing, but for BOTH Fantasy AND Sci-Fi (called the SuperSyrin) for an even bigger saving = $10.00pm

All sense makes?

I'm not really interested in background music itself. Specifically, I was hoping to find more songs that could be played diegetically (stuff the characters are hearing in world as well as the players at the table), not filler instrumentals.

Thanks.

Cool. I understand.

BUT... with the licenced content for say... Sandpoint, we have actually made the sound of the music the characters will hear from the bard in town, or from the musicians in the tavern.

And obviously... if you are looking for immersion, then actually hearing the sounds of the Red Dragon who is trying to tear your heart out and toast it for breakfast will help just a little.

No?

But, yes, I understand that's not what you were actually posting about, so I'll leave you in peace now! :-)

Ben

Hi Plenilune and Hama,

Give Syrinscape a try.

We're even making Licenced Content for Pathfinder Adventures (Rise of the Runelords atm), and Pathfinder monsters (Goblins, Ghouls, Dragons, Ogres... all sorts)

Hi Plenilune and Hama,

Give Syrinscape a try. It's a specially designed tool for the Pathfinder game. Unobtrusive, easy to run, totally immersive.

You can download it and try it for free here.

It works on PC, MAC, Android and iPad.

It was one of my great joys getting to compose and record this beloved pieces of poetry.

It was, however, hell trying to record it! It took a full rebuild of my studio once the so called Goblin 'choir' had finished with it.

I really didn't expect to be tied up in my own cabling!!

Check it out here, it's pretty fun!.

Here's what we at Syrinscape came up with for the Goblin Song in Burnt Offerings.

I was thrilled to have the chance to compose the tune for this iconic piece of Pathfinder history, but I tell you, it was hell, trying to get those Goblins to stand still in front of a microphone!

That recording session was chaos indeed!!

Goblin Song mp3

FYI, I've just broken out the very meaty Red Dragon from this SoundPack as an individual monster you can fight. There are actually two versions: one similar to how it appears in the SoundPack = frying innocent townsfolk; and another with the Dragon in a Cavern acoustic = claws scratching on the floor and roars echoing ominously. They both sound rather epic!

Check out the demo video here:
Red Dragon SoundSet Demo.

Thank you soooo much for the kind words everyone here! It's really cool for us all at Syrinscape to think that people all over the world are using our very noisy program and making their games more epic, more immersive and even more fun!

Ben

Thanks for the nice things people are saying here! :-) I'm very proud of the Goblin song, though it was hell getting it recorded! The Goblins literally burnt my studio to the ground, it was pretty much a total rebuild... and frankly what they call 'singing'!?! It took an aweful lot of autotune, I tell you! ;-)

Hey Swny!

Check out our series of Videos of us playing through "Haunting of Harrowstone" for ideas of how we used music and sound at our table...

The videos get better as they go along, but the first one is here:

Benjamin

Hey Mikaze,

I actually have gone a whole long way down this path. I in fact wrote a program for myself, to play the music (spaced out like in a movie) and grouped into SoundSets, and ALSO I added sound effects... I have been sharing it on-line for a few years. I've had such positive feedback that I'm actually RIGHT NOW in the process of re-releasing it cross platform (supporting PC and MAC and Androids and iPhones/Pads/Pods), hopefully next month.

It's called Syrinscape, and if you are interested in this kind of thing, you should really check it out.

or

You can see a video of the OLD version here:

The new version is going to be all-kinds-of-awesome better!
