Launch Footstep Creator

Create Custom Footstep Sounds in Real-Time

Footstep Creator features the same intuitive XY pad interface that powers Krotos Studio.

Click on the pad to perform a step, clicking in different areas of the pad depending on surface material. You can create everything from light tiptoeing across leaves to heavy boots stomping through puddles. 

We've included two high-quality footstep sound presets to get you started:

  • Boots Urban: Perfect for creating footsteps on concrete, wet surfaces, and gritty urban environments
  • Shoes Forest: Ideal for natural environments with options for leaves, mud, sand, and puddles

Each preset contains professionally recorded sound samples that blend seamlessly as you move across the XY pad, creating realistic and dynamic footstep sounds.

It’s easy to capture and export performances from Footstep Creator.

  1. Click the record button, then perform your footsteps in real-time.
