The Problem
BVE motor sound production shouldn't be a tedious process of manual CSV editing and repeated trial-and-error testing.
Editing raw CSV tables and managing scattered audio assets makes even small adjustments time-consuming and prone to errors.

Core Features
Every feature is designed to streamline the transition from raw samples to a functional BVE sound package.
Directly manipulate pitch and volume keyframes on a speed-based graph. No more manual coordinate entry.
Audit Traction, Coast, and Brake states seamlessly. Test how layers blend as you adjust the speed slider.
Powered by Rust and Tauri for a responsive, lightweight experience that handles complex projects with ease.
Generate standardized BVE-ready files with one click, ensuring consistent project structure and asset naming.
Interface
From project management to detailed curve editing, the workspace is optimized for the motor sound authoring workflow.
Quickly access recent projects, manage metadata, and keep your workspace organized.
Toggle between states, manage track layers, and refine curves in a single, cohesive view.
Workflow
A structured process that keeps you focused on the creative aspects of sound design.
Set up your workspace and import source audio into a structured .msep project container.
Draw keyframes to define how sounds respond to speed changes across different drive states.
Use the internal transport controls to simulate train behavior and audit sound transitions.
Export a fully formatted BVE motor sound set ready for immediate use in the simulator.
Architecture
Combining high-performance native code with a portable project format designed for long-term maintenance.
Replaces text-based configuration with intuitive graphical editing.
The .msep container bundles data, curves, and audio to prevent broken file links.
A fast, native application built for stability and precision.
The .msep format ensures that curves, track settings, and audio files stay synchronized, making sharing and archiving effortless.
