( AZSTOKE ) announced two major projects, " RIGDOCKS " and " SKYSQUARE," at CEDEC+KYUSHU 2024, the largest IT conference in Kyushu.
RIGDOCKS" is a proprietary API for sound creators that AZSTOKE has patented and developed with four patents. SKYSQUARE" is a large scale recording project that AZSTOKE is planning.
Saiga NAK attended AZSTOKE's corporate presentation at CEDEC+KYUSHU 2024 and reported on the event.
What is "RIGDOCKS"? Background of "RIGDOCKS
There are many challenges to becoming a sound creator!
The number of voices handled by sound creators is on the rise every year, and they often handle hundreds of thousands of voices. If you try to go for it...
- I don't know what to download.
- I could get a virus even if I try to download software from overseas
- You don't know who to ask
- The hurdles are too high to become an ideal type of sound creator
There are only a few people who are familiar with the software, so the amount of information is overwhelmingly small....
AZSTOKE's " RIGDOCKS " was developed with 4 patents to change this environment!
Easy even for inexperienced workers!
RIGDOCKS" is divided into three plans to support a wide range of creators from beginners to experts.
RIGDOCKS" is divided into three plans to support both beginners and advanced sound creators, automatically equalizing the volume of disparate files and correcting audio gaps caused by differences in speakers!
In addition, downloading " RIGDOCKS-BRIGE " grants a license to a total of five people, including the purchaser, to use the software.
Comparison of the three types of "RIGDOCKS
RIGDOCKS" are available in Bronze, Silver, and Gold, allowing beginners and advanced users alike to choose the one that best suits their skills. The comparison is as follows...

- Various bug fixes.
- Improved media array processing.
Silver Plan
Intermediate API capable of complex processing.
- Various bug fixes in version 2.2.0
- Patented technologies "HANDAUTOMER" and "TALKTRON" enclosed
Gold Plan

- Patented technologies "LOUDMATCHIFY" and "MIDDLESCANNER" included
and "MIDDLESCANNER For more information about "RIGDOCKS" and patents, please visit the official AZSTOKE website!
We'll go this far! AZSTOKE even bought a mountain for the sound!
Next, let me introduce " SKYSQUARE ".
AZSTOKE has launched a project called "SKYSQUARE", which is a " voice recording in a vast land ", and as part of the project, AZSTOKE has purchased a total of 2,000 tsubo of land in Yamanashi!
I found out that the royal palace at the Great Zimbabwe Ruins is about 2,000 tsubo. (still doesn't ring a bell).
The people of Zimbabwe are surprised that they are buying a site the size of the ruins.
Need a license for heavy equipment to handle large components.
AZSTOKE has succeeded in obtaining the following 8 licenses.
| List of Licenses Obtained | |
|---|---|
| Large Class 1 license | License for trucks with a load capacity of 12 tons or more |
| Large special vehicle license | License that enables structural movement of construction equipment (recommended by Mr. Nakajima) |
| Towing license | License required to transport larger heavy equipment that is difficult to transport by truck |
| Vehicle construction equipment (land clearing, etc.) | License to be able to dig and clear land, etc. Attachment is bucket only |
| Vehicle construction equipment (new demolition) | Allows excavator attachment to be changed from bucket to a pincer |
| Small mobile crane | Capable of crane operation of less than 5 tons Capable of recording large components that cannot be recorded without a mobile crane |
| Chainsaw (logging, etc.) | Tree management Can be used for recording |
| Slinging | License required to hang a load on a crane Knowledge of how to hang different types of cranes is required |
| Licenses to be obtained | |
|---|---|
| Grapple | To be able to change the attachment of an excavator to a grapple. It will be easier to grab materials that cannot be grabbed by a pincer. |
I've got a license, and I'm thinking of renting heavy equipment to record...
AZSTOKE had acquired a license and wanted to use heavy equipment weighing more than 7 tons for a large-scale recording. When we went to a heavy equipment rental company, we were told that they do not handle " heavy equipment to transport " heavy equipment weighing more than 7 tons....
So, Mr. Nakajima, CEO of AZSTOKE, came up with this idea...
After the rental incident and the issues that arose, he decided to purchase an excavator as he thought that purchasing the equipment would be the quickest solution.
Purchase! Isn't it too much of a rock star to take the plunge!
YANMER
And so the modern rock star has acquired a YANMER B7-5B (gross weight 8155 kg) heavy equipment...!
It weighs in at a tidy 8t!
A new challenge for Ezetstok, now that he has both heavy equipment and a transport vehicle, and is ready to do slinging!
We need bigger components!
We can't get a good sound with the kind of square timbers and metal sold at home centers that the average person imagines. My professionalism is very hot.
He is still collecting wood, stone, and other materials, and recently acquired an " abandoned car.
An abandoned car!
It seems that it is difficult to get a scrap car nowadays, so he bought a scrap car from a mechanic he knows, and from there he went to the site and went through the scrap car procedure. From there, you can take it to a local place and handle it freely by going through the scrapping process. ToySuccess in getting a scrapped car!
This is how a large scale recording project of "SKYSQUARE" is being prepared. It is truly frightening that this is still in the preparation stage. I have high expectations for the future of voice recording, which has unlimited possibilities as more and more components are acquired!
