Sets the display of the Source Editor's selected tabs. By default, there is one panel displaying only one selected tab. You can, however, click a splitter button to split the panel into two, either side by side or one on top of the other, for two different tabs. The currently selected option is highlighted with a background color.

	You cannot display the same tab in both panels. If you select the tab that is currently displayed in the other panel, then the other panel will automatically display another tab.

File Input

Audio Source

The name of the audio source file.

Impact Selection

Selects which impact component to add to the SoundBanks to be randomly selected for synthesis.

If there is more than one impact, the random selection always avoids repeating the previously played impact.

The impact is the leftover audio from analysis that drives the synthesis. It can be cross-synthesized with bodies from other files.

Soloing an impact exclusively selects it in the authoring tool for auditioning purposes. The solo setting is not applied to the SoundBanks.

Maximum 64 files.

Body Selection

Selects which body components to add to the SoundBanks to be randomly selected for synthesis.

If there is only one impact available, the random selection only avoids repeating the previously played body.

The body is the set of synthesis parameters extracted from audio analysis. It can be cross-synthesized with impacts from other files.

Soloing a body exclusively selects it in the authoring tool for auditioning purposes. The solo setting is not applied to the SoundBanks.

Maximum 64 files.
