Procedural soundtrack: snowboard game turns the board into a synthesizer with 15 synced tracks
sterlingcrispin · x · 2026-10-22
sterlingcrispin details the procedural audio system in Endless Powder: the board itself is an instrument — speed, slip/edge, powder depth and contact inputs continuously drive synthesis for scrapes, carves and powder roar.
SFX, music and MC shoutouts live on separate audio buses for dynamic mixing. The D&B soundtrack is procedural too: 15 potential tracks stay synchronized and build off each other, with stems swapping between stages (drums persist while a synth pad fades into a dub rhythm and MC vox).
