UE5 MetaSound Granular Synth For Vehicle Engines

Here’s a project I’ve just finished where I made a granular synth engine in metasounds to create car engine sounds from acceleration ramps.

This was an experiment to see if I could create something similar to REV by CrankcaseAudio. The algorithm for REV works extremely well for engines that have a very prominent pitch but it really struggles with engines that are noisy and it is just unable to handle anything like a turbine engine. My method is much more primitive and so may not beat REV with sports car engines but it will certainly do a better job with noisy engines or anything that isn’t a normal car engine like a turbine or an electric car or a space ship.
