Wwise Help

If you plan to generate motion data from an existing audio source or a motion source, you need to first decide through which motion bus it will be routed. Motion data is different than audio data, and requires a separate hierarchy of busses through which the motion data can be routed. You can create this separate hierarchy in the Master-Mixer Hierarchy by creating a new master bus and assigning the Wwise Motion device to it. For more information on creating a motion bus hierarchy, refer to Building an Output Structure for Motion.

When setting up your routing, make sure to also take note of the bus configuration of the Master Bus, and any Buses you create. For example, most Wwise Motion Audio Devices will use an Anonymous 2-channel Master Bus, such that each channel of the audio is associated with a physical motor, as opposed to a Stereo 2-channel Master Bus. In order to control which channel the audio goes to, you may have to provide a 2-channel wave file as the audio source, even if only one channel has non-zero data. Alternatively, if that is not practical, you can set a Bus in the routing path to use a Stereo 2-channel output configuration, and use the Bus's speaker panning to redirect audio to the desired channel.

	Note
	Some Wwise Motion Audio Devices may use alternative bus configurations, such as Stereo 2-channel, Anonymous 4-channel, or others, and may require different setups for channel routing. Refer to Integrating Wwise Motion for information about supported devices and their respective channel configurations.
