Hi Thomas,
I was thinking you would include the pan already in the stereo sound file,
rather than generating it by the keyboard.
The keyboard generated pan would be more realistic but what keys to use?
If you can distinguish between the left alt and right alt keys you could get
three types of attack strokes.
I think left alt then space would give you a swing from left to right as
that is the way your fingers would be going.
And space by itself could represent a straight ahead attack.
The best use of the keyboard would be to have the mouse control the swing as
you could move it like you would actually move the weapon.

Hi Phil,
Hmmm...Well, I can definitely tell you that there are more than one
saber attack sound and they are randomized. That said, they do sound a
lot alike and if you aren't listening carefully it does sound like the
same thing over and over again. Perhaps I should check my saber sounds
for a better variety of attack sounds to make them a little more
destinct.
As for being mono no way. All of the saber sounds are 44100 KHZ 16
-bit stereo. However, I didn't pan them or anything like that. In fact
that's one of the issues I'm working on. I want to be able to use the
mouse for controlling the light saber, swinging left/right and
up/down, which would make it more realistic. problem is I know a lot
of people here will probably want to use their keyboard so I'd likely
have to add some kind of randomizer so when you press space it just
selects a position and swings left, right, up, down, etc at random if
using a keyboard only. Any thoughts?

in
mono and uses the same file for each attack.
I think a stereo sound that sweeps across from side to side as you swing
the
weapon is what people are expecting.
If several different light saber sounds are played at random then it
would
sound more realistic.
