Summary

So, I'm wondering if it is possible to do a few things with sound effects: 1) Could I play a long (multi-second) sound effect for footsteps, but cut it off when the player stops walking? (Instead of repeating one short sound each time the player takes a step.) 2) If I were to repeat one short "footstep sound" over and over each time the player takes a step, could I randomly alter its pitch each time it plays?

So, I'm wondering if it is possible to do a few things with sound effects:

1) Could I play a long (multi-second) sound effect for footsteps, but cut it off when the player stops walking? (Instead of repeating one short sound each time the player takes a step.)

2) If I were to repeat one short "footstep sound" over and over each time the player takes a step, could I randomly alter its pitch each time it plays? (I have never found a way to handle any type of randomness in RPG Maker MV, or to alter pitch outside the system sound settings, so I assume this is a no-go.)

3) Speaking of randomness, I'd also like to play one of five random noises at irregular random intervals (atmospheric background noises). One of the noises every 30-90 seconds, for example. Is this possible?

Thanks! I really appreciate any help, and sorry for so many questions in one post!
