Engine Sounds and Real-Time Control

TURBINE gives you access to a range of virtual engines based on real-world counterparts. You can change and automate all parameters in real time, which lets you shape the engine's behavior while the sound plays.

The plugin is aimed at creating realistic flight paths and fly-bys. Boom says these can be built in seconds, which makes it practical for film, game and trailer work where a moving aircraft sound is needed quickly.

Sound Design Beyond Jet Engines

Boom positions TURBINE as a tool for more than engine recreation. Its more than 50 presets include whooshes, pressure releases, robotics, sirens, musical FX, sci-fi elements, futuristic engines, home appliances, electric tools and flame bursts.

The presets are a starting point for unconventional sound design. Because the engines can be automated in real time, they work well as transition, impact and effect layers in music and media projects.
