Creating Control Surface Sessions

Control Surface Sessions define how the hardware controls are attached to Wwise functions or project properties. A Control Surface Session defines a list of bindings. Each binding attaches a hardware control (such as a button, slider, knob, or key) to a Wwise element (property or command).

Multiple Control Surface Sessions can be created in a single Wwise Project for different reasons:

Different users of the Wwise projects using different hardware devices.
Different usage scenarios.
Different users with different needs or preferences.

You can create Control Surface Sessions from the Control Surface Bindings view or the Project Explorer.

info	Note
info	The Control Surface Sessions are stored within the project and can be used on any computer where the project is being used.
