Version
The Source Editor displays all the properties associated with the Tone Generator plug-in. You can create different audio tones and motion effects by modifying the various property values.

To avoid clicks that may occur when transitioning between pure tones created by the Tone Generator and other one-shot, unlooped sounds, use a fade-in and fade out of 5 ms. |

Description | |
---|---|---|
Name |
The user-defined name given to this instance of the Tone Generator plug-in. | |
Source Plug-in |
The type of source plug-in. | |
Notes |
Any additional information about the Tone Generator plug-in. | |
Frequency | ||
Frequency |
The frequency of the tone. If a sweep frequency is applied, this value is the starting frequency for the tone. Default value: 1000.0 Range: 20 to 20000 Units: Frequency | |
Rand. Min |
An offset from the Frequency value that defines the minimum possible frequency of the tone. Since you can't apply a modifier to the frequency of a plug-in, the Rand Min and Rand Max properties act as randomizers in specifying the minimum and maximum offset values for the Tone Generator plug-in. | |
Rand. Max |
An offset from the Frequency value that defines the maximum possible frequency of the tone. | |
Sweep Frequency |
Enables controls that allow you to change the frequency of the tone from start to finish. Default value: false | |
Stop Frequency |
The frequency at which the tone will stop. Default value: 1000.0 Range: 20 to 20000 Units: Hz | |
Stop Frequency Random Min |
An offset from the Stop Frequency value that defines the minimum possible value for the tone’s Stop Frequency. Default value: 0.0 Range: -12000 to 0 | |
Stop Frequency Random Max |
An offset from the Stop Frequency value that defines the maximum possible value of the tone’s Stop Frequency. Default value: 0.0 Range: 0 to 12000 | |
Interpolation | ||
Linear |
The interpolation from start frequency to stop frequency is linear. | |
Logarithmic |
The interpolation from start frequency to stop frequency is logarithmic. | |
Waveform | ||
Type |
The type of waveform or noise used to create the tone. The following waveforms are available:
Default value: Sine | |
Gain |
The level or amplitude of the tone’s output. Default value: -12.0 Range: -96.3 to 0 Units: dB | |
(Link/Unlink) |
Displays whether the Channel selection is applied across all platforms. | |
Channel |
A list with two options to specify the channel to which the tone is output: Mono and LFE. Default value: Mono | |
Duration | ||
Duration |
Default value: Fixed Duration | |
Attack |
The time it takes for the sound to reach its maximum amplitude. Default value: 0.0 Range: 0 to 3600 Units: s | |
Decay |
The time it takes for the amplitude of the sound to drop down to the Sustain level. Default value: 0.0 Range: 0 to 3600 Units: s | |
Sustain |
The amount of time the tone remains at the Sustain level. Default value: 1.0 Range: 0 to 3600 Units: s | |
Sustain level |
The level where the amplitude of the sound is constant. Default value: -12.0 Range: -96.3 to 0 Units: dB | |
Release |
The time it takes for the amplitude of the sound to drop from the Sustain level to silence. Default value: 0.0 Range: 0 to 3600 Units: s |
