Using the Control Surface Toolbar

The Control Surface Toolbar appears near the top of the Wwise interface when a Control Surface Session is active. You can open and close the toolbar by clicking the activation icon in the Control Surface Bindings view or in a Control Surface Session Object Tab.

These buttons show which groups, from among the following, are active and inactive:

  • View Group: The target object is loaded in the specified group via the specified view. For example, the button might be written YourGroup:Soundcaster, which indicates that your project has a defined View Group called "YourGroup" that is used within the Soundcaster. There can be multiple View Groups defined in different views, so more than one button might be visible.
