Source Plug-in Editor - Wwise Tone Generator Plug-in

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

	Tip
	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 5ms.

Interface Element	Description
Name	The user-defined name given to this instance of the Wwise Tone Generator plug-in.
Source Plugin	The type of source plug-in.
Notes	Any additional information about the Wwise Tone Generator plug-in.
Frequency
Frequency	The frequency of the tone. Audio: Default value: 1000 Slider range: 20 to 12,000 Units: Hz Motion: Default value: 5 Slider range: 0 to 200 Units: Hz If a sweep frequency is applied, this value is the starting frequency for the tone.
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 Wwise 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.
Stop frequency	The frequency at which the tone will stop. Default value: 1000 Slider Range: 20 to 12,000 Units: Hz
Rand. Min	An offset from the Stop Frequency value that defines the minimum possible value for the tone's Stop Frequency.
Rand. Max	An offset from the Stop Frequency value that defines the maximum possible value of the tone's Stop Frequency.
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: Sine Triangular Square Sawtooth White Noise Pink Noise
Gain	The level or amplitude of the tone's output. Default value: -12 Slider Range: -96.3 to 0 Units: dB
Duration
Fixed duration	Duration of the tone where the amplitude is constant over time. Default value: 1 Slider range: 0.001 to 10 Input Range: 0.001 to 3,600 Units: Seconds
Envelope	Enables ADSR amplitude envelope controls. If all ADSR controls are set to 0, nothing will play.
Attack	The time it takes for the sound to reach its maximum amplitude. Default value: 0 Slider range: 0 to 10 Input Range: 0 to 3,600 Units: Seconds
Decay	The time it takes for the amplitude of the sound to drop down to the Sustain level. Default value: 0 Slider range: 0 to 10 Input Range: 0 to 3,600 Units: Seconds
Sustain	The amount of time the tone remains at the Sustain level. Default value: 1 Slider range: 0 to 10 Input Range: 0 to 3,600 Units: Seconds
Sustain level	The level where the amplitude of the sound is constant. Default value: -12 Slider 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 Slider range: 0 to 10 Input Range: 0 to 3,600 Units: Seconds
