What Makes Amplitude Different

  • Built for Games

    An entity-based architecture and an optimized API let you integrate Amplitude in your game without hassle.

  • Data-Driven Development

    Assets are authored as JSON files. Write them, and let Amplitude do the rest of the magic for you.

  • Multi-Platform Support

    Amplitude runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, with web and console targets on the way.

  • Fast Processing

    Entity management and audio processing are fast: Amplitude makes extensive use of SIMD-optimized operations internally.

  • Plugins Architecture

    Amplitude is extensible. Create custom plugins to add new filters, codecs and more to the engine.

  • Quick Learning Curve

    Amplitude follows the concepts of audio programming for games. Even without experience, you get started quickly.

Everything Else You Need

  • Ambisonics Rendering

    Play physically accurate Ambisonics sources from first to third order, spatialized in real time with your HRTF asset.

  • Customizable Pipeline

    Take full control of how the engine renders audio, with one pipeline you shape across all platforms.

  • Environment Effects

    Apply effects such as echo and gain to whole environments in real time, and build your own through plugins.

  • Release Packages

    Build, package and distribute your project as a single bundle file with all your audio files included.
