Understanding Control Surface Bindings

Understanding Control Surface Bindings

A Control Surface binding attaches a hardware control (button, slider, knob, key, etc) to a Wwise element (property or command).

Every binding has three elements:

Property/Command:
- Object Property: A property name to modify, on the targeted object.
- Object Command: A command or action to launch on the targeted object.
- Global Command: A command or action to launch, globally (not targeting an object).
Object/Index: Specify the object to target.
Controller Assignment: Identify the hardware control element with a MIDI message ID.

Bindings are stored inside three different kinds of groups, that each have a different mechanisms to define the targeted object:

Global: The targeted object is specified directly in the binding.
Current Selection: The targeted object is the latest selected object in Wwise.
View Groups: The target object is defined by the view the binding group is being loaded. An index is specified for each object loaded in the view.
