[name]

The name of the object.

Displays the object's color. Clicking the icon opens the color selector.

Select a color to apply it to the object. When you choose a color for an object, a palette icon appears on the selected square, as well as a yellow triangle in the lower-right corner, as shown.

To inherit the parent object's color, select the square at the far left of the color selector.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the SoundBanks.

Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included in the SoundBanks when they are generated. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included.

To optimize your sound design for each platform, you might want to exclude certain elements on certain platforms. By default, this check box applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator to the left of the check box to unlink the element. Then you can customize the state of the check box per platform.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the editor become unavailable.

Default value: true

Indicates the number of elements in your project that contain direct references to the object. The icon is displayed in orange when references to the object exist, and in gray when no references exist.

Selecting the button opens the Reference View with the object's name in the References to: field.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Sets the display of the Property Editor's selected tabs. By default, there is one panel that displays a single selected tab. You can, however, click a splitter button to display two panels, divided horizontally or vertically. The selected option is highlighted with a background color.

You cannot open the same tab in both panels. If you try to open the same tab in both panels, the first panel automatically opens a different tab.

	Shortcuts for selecting tabs
	Press Ctrl and the number that corresponds to the number of the Property Editor tab you want to view. For example, Ctrl+4 opens the RTPC tab if it is the fourth visible tab.

Override parent

Determines whether the MIDI target will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the MIDI target controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Default value: false

Target

The node in the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy to which all MIDI Events are routed.

A track that contains a MIDI clip requires a MIDI target. The track, or one of its ancestors, must specify a MIDI target.

Opens the Project Explorer - Browser where you can select the MIDI target.

Override parent

Determines whether the MIDI clip tempo will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the MIDI clip tempo controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Default value: false

Source

Determines the tempo used to play a MIDI clip.

Hierarchy-the tempo is obtained from the time settings of the clip’s ancestors.

File-the tempo is obtained from the clip’s original MIDI file.

Note that this setting is used when creating a MIDI clip to determine its duration. Changing this field after the clip is created changes the tempo used to interpret the clip, but does not change the clip’s duration. To change a MIDI clip’s duration, use the clip handles.

Default value: Hierarchy
