It is split in three distinct layers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, we selected the <strong>Move Machine<\/strong> patch for the main source, using only its <em>Servo<\/em> layer.<\/li>\n<li>Then, we used the <strong>Rotate Machine<\/strong> patch to add a mechanical component. Most of the sound comes from the <em>Hammer<\/em> and <em>Impact<\/em> layers of the patch. As the speed of the drawing controls the clicking rate, we had to draw steadily.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, to simulate the friction against the belt, we used the <em>Noise<\/em> component of the <strong>Move Air<\/strong> patch, setting the filter in <em>Bandpass<\/em> mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the belt movement at the end of the video, you can either draw with the same patches but a different timing, or simply change the global <em>Duration<\/em> parameter to match the length of the final motion.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"litymp3\" href=\"https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/DSPMotion Animotion Sushi Blog Video 02 ConveyorBelt EN.mp4\" data-lity=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/DSPMotion Animotion Sushi Blog Video 02 ConveyorBelt EN.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"tsugiblog-blackheader\" style=\"margin-top: 40px; padding: 22px 18px; max-width: 670px; background-position: right center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: contain; letter-spacing: 0.05em; color: #ffffff; background-color: #000000; background-image: url('https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/header-bg2.png');\">Plates<\/h2>\n<p>The sound of the plates also consists in three layers. The first one highlights their rotation, while the others focus on the impact on the belt.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For the rotating motion, we used the <em>Rumble<\/em> and <em>Low Air<\/em> layers of the <strong>Rotate<\/strong> <strong>Air<\/strong> patch. We quickly drew a few curves and used the <strong>Snap<\/strong> function to immediately render the best sounds. Note that the same patch will be used at the end (though with slightly different settings) when the plates disappear under the belt.<\/li>\n<li>For the sound of the plates landing on the belt, we selected the <strong>Appear Granular<\/strong> patch (for the snappiness of the hand claps it can generate). The positions on the X and Y axes determine the rate of the impacts and their pitch, respectively. So, once the rate corresponding to the timing of the plates was found, we just had to draw upwards on the Y axis.<\/li>\n<li>By duplicating the previous drawing (using Ctrl-C\/Ctrl-V) onto the <strong>Appear<\/strong> <strong>Musical<\/strong> patch (with the <em>Drum<\/em> type selected), we were able to add a cartoonish layer to the impacts. As these two patches have a similar rate mapping, the timing was preserved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"litymp3\" href=\"https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/DSPMotion Animotion Sushi Blog Video 03 Plates EN.mp4\" data-lity=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/DSPMotion Animotion Sushi Blog Video 03 Plates EN.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"tsugiblog-blackheader\" style=\"margin-top: 40px; padding: 22px 18px; max-width: 670px; background-position: right center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: contain; letter-spacing: 0.05em; color: #ffffff; background-color: #000000; background-image: url('https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/header-bg3.png');\">Sushi<\/h2>\n<p>To make the sound of the popping sushi, we used other patches from the <strong>Appear<\/strong> category and stayed in the cartoon register.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The sound of the rice appearing on the plates was produced by the <strong>Appear<\/strong> <strong>Wood <\/strong>patch with the <em>Wood Hit<\/em> type selected.<\/li>\n<li>As the ingredients magically pop up in the air, we once again used the <strong>Appear Granular<\/strong> patch, but this time with the <em>Finger<\/em> type.<\/li>\n<li>When they are landing on the rice, we layered the <strong>Appear<\/strong> <strong>Water<\/strong> patch (mostly using the Drip layer) and the <strong>Appear<\/strong> <strong>Organic <\/strong>patch (<em>Splash<\/em> type) to add some squishiness. For both, we drew downwards, following the movement in the animation.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the sound of the seaweed wrapping around the egg sushi was generated with the <strong>Move<\/strong> <strong>Air <\/strong>patch by drawing small whirls on the upper right corner of the sketch pad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"litymp3\" href=\"https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/DSPMotion Animotion Sushi Blog Video 04 Sushi EN.mp4\" data-lity=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tsugi-studio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sushi\/DSPMotion Animotion Sushi Blog Video 04 Sushi EN.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>DSP Motion provides a fun an easy way to design sounds that perfectly match your motion designs and animations.
