Today I took the plunge and bought "Walker" ;)
It's a real cool thingee...
By the way UVI has easter sales, I paid 109,- € instead of 149,- €
I always wanted such a thing after seeing this 2 years ago:
https://www.boomlibrary.com/sound-effects/virtual-foley-artist-footsteps/
199,- and you need Kontakt 6, another 400,-... :pinch:
Yesterday I looked at this again, hm, consider, think twice,...
Searched for alternatives and found WALKER ;)
https://www.uvi.net/en/soundfx/walker.html
The UVI Workstation needed to use this is free, so I only payed 109,- € for a footstep maker...
Though additional you will need a recorder, which I already had; I use Cubase LE...

No video to show yet, but if someone sees this in the next 2 days, remember EASTER sales!

So, my question is: anybody else using WALKER?

Interesting, I never heard of Walker. I usually use footsteps from a sound library and then adjust them.

It's really cool, easy to handle, and you simply watch your footage and press 3 keys; left foot - stop - right foot.
That's the simple way...
You also have manual control over each component of the step sound including;
toe, heel and scuff for both the left and right foot independently.
A Stair switch disables the heel sound component to simulate the sound of stepping up or down a flight of stairs.
I'm very happy with it, and as these are midi signals, you can easily adjust them if you are a bit off...
And the costs are, compared to the "Boom Library" variant very low, and it's a lifetime investment! :satisfied:

I have Impact Soundworks Cinema Sound Foley Library which has footsteps, clothing and a few other sounds and runs on the free Kontakt player. Currently it's on sale for $139 (from $199).
Here is the complete list of sounds.
The footsteps are not as customizable as Walker but pretty close and it has the ability to fade/transition from one type of step to another (i.e. stone to sand).

I use EDWARD Foleyart,  $79.00 and I just looked at walker and I would say Edward was a bit better bet in my opinion, you have the usual walk stop, heal stuff PLUS, scuffs, turns, landing jumps, fast walk, slow walk and creep so you can mix and match all the keys for a lot of variety very quickly.
I think it's worth a look for anyone interested,  Oh and it runs in the Kontakt player. and there may be a COVID discount as well.

Oh, that's interesting too... Maybe I was too fast in my decision. Anyway, I'm happy with it.
Thanx for sharing...

Yes I agree,,,LOL.... you were too quick to post, your post just relieved me of another $47.00 as, when I went to my EWARDS website and saw the addon pack, "Real outdoor footsteps and forest paths, etc" on a discount I just had to get it. 
Cheers

Damned, that was a hard decision but yesterday I bought as well the "Cinema Sound Foley Library" as "Edward + Expansion"... :D
And I am very happy to have these tools in my kit. And it really makes fun to work like this.
The only ennoying thing is you can't scale those "Instrument" windows as desired...

This is a pretty neat program. 
Long ago I requested footstep foley be included with the walk motions and then soon after RL added a footstep audio track to the characters (likely had nothing to do with my request).  I originally envisioned it kind of like this program with the ability to change the terrain, shoe and distance from the camera (volume) but the audio that was added was just a pretty flat footstep sound.  It was useful for adding your own foley as a replacement but it seemed to irritate most Iclone users (hard top find the audio file) and was removed from future characters.  Similar to the wasd character controls.  So it goes.
