[PD] sample based engine sound for racing game

[Varun Nair]

Andy Farnell has some interesting procedural techniques for engine 
sounds in 'Designing Sound'. I've found better results combining some of 
his techniques with actual engine recordings.

You could go the 'traditional' method and record engine sounds at 
different RPMs and varispeed (read an array at different rates) and 
cross fade between them. It will take some effort but should take you 
somewhere.

If you want to design more realistic sounds it might be worth reading up 
about the techniques used in actual game engines (especially on load and 
off load sounds).

I'd made a prototype some time ago, in Max/MSP, that was a combination 
of granular resynthesis, additive synthesis and a bit of convolution. 
Not the most efficient technique, but it sounds quite alright.
