FMOD Ex Programmers API


The FMOD Ex sound system is a revolutionary new audio engine for game developers, multimedia developers, sound designers, musicians and audio engineers, based on the years of experienced of Firelight Technologies’ previous FMOD products.

FMOD Ex aims to push the capabilities of audio for games, whilst at the same time using minimal resources and remaining fully scalable. FMOD Ex is available in two branches, 'Stable' and 'Development'. The Stable branch only includes bug fixes, whilst the Development branch includes all latest development updates / feature additions. All stable branch fixes are also made to the development branch as well.

See what changes have been made in recent Stable revisions and Development revisions.

FMOD Extras


Windows Media Player 9 distributable - wmfdist.exe (3.89mb)

To get spectrum analysis and DSP effect support with WMA in fmod 3.74, you need Windows Media Player 9.  Even without this FMOD will play WMA, but spectrum analysis and DSP effects will not work with this format.
OggMod XM to OXM Converter tool - oggmod.zip (516kb)

This tool written by Neil Graham (email lerc (at) screamingduck (dot) com), will convert an XM file into a .OXM file.  This compresses the samples in an XM file as Ogg Vorbis samples, so the result is a much smaller XM!   FMOD is able to play these files.
FMOD 3 / FMOD Ex Java interface - link.

This interface is hosted and maintained externally by Jerome Jouvie.
