Major update & bundle plan to be released! Fully automated "Transcription x Waveform Editing"! With the multifunctional library RIGDOCKS The possibilities for game sound development automation are endless!

Introducing AI into RIGDOCKS

(AZSTOKE; Location: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; President: Kentaro Nakashima), a company specializing in game sound development, offers RIGDOCKS, an automation technology for artists in game sound development.

RIGDOCKS is an API library that can be used with the Lua and Python scripting function "ReaScript" of the DAW software "REAPER", and can contribute to automating the implementation and editing of voices and sound effects (SE) in game development.

The plans "SILVER" and "BRONZE" provided by RIGDOCKS have now been updated. We will also be releasing a bundle set that allows you to purchase all of the plans that were previously separated by API.

Please take this opportunity to experience the wide range of RIGDOCKS functions.

■RIGDOCKS is equipped with the latest AI technology! The contents of the voice can be recognized at a glance! Transcription" from waveforms at the touch of a button

Automatic transcription function

With the update of RIGDOCKS' SILVER plan (ver. 1.4.0, released on March 13, 2012), a new voice file "transcription" function has been added. This function is equipped with "Whisper," a state-of-the-art speech recognition model developed by OpenAI, and realizes highly accurate transcription based on speech analysis using state-of-the-art AI technology. No complicated settings or technical knowledge is required to use this function, and it can be easily used on your own PC.

The software also supports NVIDIA's GPU platform "CUDA," which enables transcription processing using higher performance models at high speed if you are using NVIDIA GPUs. Three OpenAI ggml models are included with the model, and users can use a different model if they prefer.

RIGDOCKS is provided as an API for REAPER, so transcription results can be used for other processing. This update also includes the ability to calculate text matches, which works well with the transcription feature.

These two features can be combined to compare the transcription results with the script to verify that the audio was read correctly and according to the script. This eliminates mistakes, such as voice recording errors and misrecordings, and significantly reduces the time required for confirmation work.

■The "Item Split" function allows you to easily cut and edit voices! Combined with various functions, this function shows its true value!

Item Split Function

An update to the BRONZE Plan (ver. 2.3.0, released on March 13) was also released at the same time, adding the ability to split media items on REAPER. This allows media items to be split at a specified position.

By combining this with the transcription function on the script, it is possible to split an item for each sentence of the transcription result.

In addition, by combining the functions included in the SILVER plan, it is now possible to export the split media items with an arbitrary name.

■Loudness calculation function accuracy has been improved! More reliable!

With the previous SILVER update (SILVER 1.3.0), the loudness calculation function has been renewed. This allows us to obtain more accurate values than before.

This update also affects our patented technologies "TALKTRON" and "LOUDMATCHIFY".

Patented Technology TALKTRON

TALKTRON is a multilingual loudness auto-adjustment function that automatically adjusts voices in other languages to the same loudness value as the voice set as the primary language. This can reduce differences in loudness between languages when developing games with multiple languages.

Example of TALKTRON usage:

Patented technology LOUDMATCHIFY

LOUDMATCHIFY is a name-detecting loudness adjustment function that determines the loudness value of the corresponding type from the name of the voice and automatically adjusts the volume. This can greatly reduce the workload of volume adjustment for a large number of voices.

Example of LOUDMATCHIFY usage:

-[REAPDOCK-Lua-]-025-[LOUDMATCHIFY] LOUDMATCHIFY Part 1: Generation of Save Data - Patented Technology 003 - ReaScript!

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-python_azstoke_loudmatchify_1

For more information about the patented technology LOUDMATCHIFY: https://www.azstoke.jp/loudmatchify

This update is an update of the loudness measurement process, which is a fundamental part of these two patented technologies. The process is now more accurate than ever before.

The new loudness calculation is available from SILVER-1.3.0 and GOLD-1.4.1.

■And finally, the bundle plan "COREAMBER" is released!

In order to make the wide range of features of RIGDOCKS easier and more affordable, AZSTOKE has announced the "COREAMBER" plan, which allows users to purchase the three ranks of BRONZE, SILVER, and GOLD, each containing different features, in one package. The plan includes a set of APIs included in all ranks.

The APIs included in all ranks have a synergistic effect when used in combination, and there is automation and creativity that can only be realized by using all plans together. We hope you will consider the 3 bundle plan COREAMBER to realize the true value of RIGDOCKS.

The price differs depending on the period of update availability.

One-year update version: 57,000 yen

69,000 yen for 2-year update version

Three-year update version: 81,000 yen

The price is more reasonable than purchasing all plans separately.

COREAMBER Plan

■RIGDOCKS offers a wide range of automation options! Introducing a wealth of integration functions with various off-the-shelf tools!

RIGDOCKS provides APIs with various functions for each rank, which can be combined to provide powerful support for sound development.

Here we introduce some of them.

Waveform implementation in game audio middleware Wwise - Automated bank generation

Waveform Implementation in Wwise

RIGDOCKS focuses on development in conjunction with the Wwise audio middleware, which allows a wide range of operations such as importing media into Wwise, creating events, setting values, registering to banks, and generating banks. Combined, these functions automate much of the work of implementing waveforms in Wwise. This feature is especially effective when the placement of waveforms is dictated by the specification.

Details are explained here:

[REAPDOCK-Lua-]-046-[Wwise] Automating Bank Generate - Improvement 4

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-lua_azstoke_wwise_fullauto_bank_5

Automation of volume control and Wwise implementation using Perforce and Excel

Integration with Perforce and Excel

RIGDOCKS includes an integration function with the version control system "Perforce" to automatically retrieve files managed by Perforce. It also includes an integration function with the typical spreadsheet software "Excel," which allows you to manage settings for waveform editing by means of tables, and to write the results of file searches in tables.

Combining these functions, it is possible to automate the entire workflow from, for example, setting waveforms managed in Perforce to volume values written in an Excel table, to implementing them in Wwise. The more files you handle, the more time and effort you spend on manual work, so RIGDOCKS can make this kind of work more efficient.

For more details, please refer to the following page:
