Wwise Help

Name

The name of the object.

PF

Determines whether the object is included or excluded from the current platform. When selected, the object is included in the current platform. When unselected, the object is not included.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the Soundbanks.

No.

The number assigned to the transition rule.

When a transition occurs during profiling, a transition monitoring message is displayed in the Capture Log. The transition is identified using this number.

Source

The source music object for the transition.

Click the Selector button to access the following options:

Any to create a transition for any unspecified source music object.

Nothing to create a transition where there is no source, that is, no music object is playing.

Browse to create a transition using a specific music object, or a virtual folder containing music objects as the source.

If a music object or folder is not specified in the Source column, Wwise will apply the first applicable transition that has the source “Any”.

Destination

The destination music object for the transition.

Click the Selector button to access the following options:

Any to create a transition for any unspecified destination music object.

Nothing to create a transition where there is no destination, that is, no music object is playing.

Browse to create a transition using a specific music object, or a virtual folder containing music objects as the destination.

If a music object or a folder is not specified in the Destination column, then Wwise will apply the first applicable transition that has the destination “Any”.

Adds a transition to the Transition Matrix.

Removes a selected transition from the Transition Matrix.

Source

Exit source at

Indicates the point in the source at which the exit will be initiated. You can choose from the following options:

Immediate: The source stops playing immediately.

Next Grid: The source stops playing at the next grid interval. The grid is an arbitrary method by which music objects can be virtually partitioned.

Next Bar: The source stops playing at the next bar.

Next Beat: The source stops playing at the next beat.

Next Cue: The source stops playing at the next cue, whether it be a custom cue or the exit cue.

Next Custom Cue: The source stops playing at the next custom cue. If the current segment doesn't contain a custom cue, Wwise continues to the next segment until it finds a custom cue.

	Note
	When choosing 'Next Cue' or 'Next Custom Cue', you can define which custom cue name to match. The name must be an exact match. If no name is specified, any custom cue will match.

Exit Cue: The source stops playing at the exit cue.

This option is available for music switch containers only.

Match (exit source at)

Specifies the name of the custom cue to match if the 'Exit source at' option is set to 'Next Cue' or 'Next Custom Cue'. If no name is specified, any custom cue will match.

The name must be an exact match to custom cue names present at the source. Name matching is case-insensitive.

Play post-exit

If selected, the post-exit of a source segment will play. The post-exit is defined as the area to the right of the exit cue.

The post-exit of a source will only play if that source exits at its exit cue, or fades out at or beyond its exit cue. Otherwise, the post-exit will never play during a transition.

Fade-out

If selected, determines whether a fade-out will be applied as the source segment reaches its end.

Displays the Music Fade Editor, where you can edit the fade-out from the source.

Destination

Jump to playlist item

Specifies the item to be played in the destination playlist container.

This option is only available if the destination is a playlist container.

Displays the Project Explorer - Browser where you can select a destination playlist item.

Sync to

Determines the point in the music object at which the destination will begin playing. You can choose from the following options:

Entry cue: The destination will begin playing at its entry cue.

Same time as playing segment: The destination will begin playing at the same time mark as the source segment. For example, if the source segment has been playing for 15 seconds since its beginning, the destination will start playing 15 seconds in.

Random Cue: The destination will begin playing at a randomly chosen cue. When this option is selected, any cue can be chosen, including the entry cue or any custom cue that match the filtering criterion. See Match source cue name and Match (jump to destination).

Random Custom Cue: The destination will begin playing at a randomly chosen custom cue that match the filtering criterion. See Match source cue name and Match (specify cue name). If there are no custom cues in the segment, the entry cue will be used.

Match source cue name

Determines which custom cues are eligible as the start position in the destination segment. Only the custom cues whose name matches the name of the cue that was used in the transition's source constitute potential start positions. For example, if the source exits at a custom cue named 'A', the destination will start at a custom cue named 'A'.

String comparison is not case-sensitive, but it must be exact (there is no wildcard).

This option can only be used when 'Sync to' is set to 'Random Cue' or 'Random Custom Cue'.

If no match is found, the entry cue will be used.

This option will only work correctly when:

Name matching affects the selection of custom cues only; it has no effect on the eligibility of the entry cue. If you use 'Random Cue' as the 'Sync to' property, the selected destination cue will be either a custom cue whose name matches that of the cue where the source exited, or the entry cue. Use 'Random Custom Cue' as the 'Sync to' property to remove the entry cue from the possible destinations.

Match (specify cue name)

Determines which custom cues are eligible as the start position in the destination segment. Among the custom cues, only those whose name matches the string in the edit box constitute potential start positions. If no name is specified, any custom cue will match.

String comparison is not case-sensitive, but it must be exact (there is no wildcard).

This option can only be used when 'Sync to' is set to 'Random Cue' or 'Random Custom Cue'.

If no match is found, the entry cue will be used.

Name matching affects the selection of custom cues only; it has no effect on the eligibility of the entry cue. If you use 'Random Cue' as the 'Sync to' property, the selected destination cue will be either a custom cue whose name corresponds to the string entered in the 'Match' text field, or the entry cue. Use 'Random Custom Cue' as the 'Sync to' property to remove the entry cue from the possible destinations.

Play pre-entry

If selected, the pre-entry of a destination segment will play. The pre-entry is defined as the area to the left of the entry cue.

The pre-entry of a destination will only play if the destination begins at its entry cue. Otherwise, the pre-entry will never play during a transition.

Fade-in

If selected, determines whether a fade-in will be applied as the destination segment begins to play.

Displays the Music Fade Editor, where you can edit the fade-in for a transition destination.

Transition Segment

Use transition segment

If selected, a transition segment will play during the transition. A transition segment is a short piece of music that musically bridges the source and destination objects.

Displays the Project Explorer Browser where you can select a transition segment.

Play transition pre-entry

If selected, the pre-entry of the transition segment will play. The pre-entry is defined as the area to the left of the entry cue.

Fade-in

If selected, a fade-in will be applied as the transition segment begins to play.

Displays the Music Fade Editor, where you can edit the fade-in of the transition segment.

Play transition post-exit

If selected, the post-exit of the transition segment will play. The post-exit is defined as the area to the right of the exit cue.

Fade-out

If selected, a fade-out will be applied to the transition segment as it reaches its end.

Displays the Music Fade Editor, where you can edit the fade-out of the transition segment.
