Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

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

Default value: false

Name

The name of the object.

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.

Sets the display of the Property 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.

	Note
	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.

	Shortcuts for selecting tabs
	Press Ctrl and the number corresponding to the number of the Property Editor tab you want. For example, Ctrl+4 would select the RTPC tab if that were the fourth visible tab.

Override parent

Determines whether the applied effects are inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the Effects options are not available.

If the object is a top-level object, the Override parent option is not available.

Default value: false

Effects

Click the Configure Columns... shortcut (right-click) option from the column header band.

The Configure Columns Dialog opens. Specify which columns to display and their order.

(Selector)

The list of Effects and corresponding instances that can be applied to the object. The selected Effect type is displayed in the Effect column.

To remove an Effect, select the None option.

ID

The identification number assigned to the Effect.

Effect

The type of effect applied to the object, for example, Wwise Compressor, Wwise Matrix Reverb, or Wwise Parametric EQ.

Name

The name of the Effect instance applied to the bus. The Effect instance can be a ShareSet or a custom instance of a ShareSet.

All Effect instances for the selected Effect type will appear in the corresponding list.

Prev.

Selects the previous ShareSet in the Effects hierarchy.

Next

Selects the next ShareSet in the Effects hierarchy.

Mode

Determines whether the Effect instance is shared. The mode can be either:

Converting to a new ShareSet

If you edit an Effect in Define custom Mode, then change the Mode to Use ShareSets, the resulting conflict prompts the Create ShareSet from Custom Object alert dialog. It gives you three options: Convert: Prompts the New Effect dialog where you can create a new ShareSet with the specified Effect Settings. Revert: Clears the Effect Editor and reverts the Effect to the original settings of the ShareSet. Cancel: Returns you to the unaltered Effect Editor with the Mode restored to Define custom.

Render Effect

Determines whether the selected Effect instance is rendered before being packaged into SoundBanks.

Rendering Effects prior to packaging into SoundBanks can save on processing power during gameplay. However, it also limits the interactivity with game play because RTPCs can’t be used when the Render option is selected.

Default value: false

Bypass Effect

Determines whether the selected Effect instance is bypassed or not.

Default value: false

Edit

Displays the Effect Plug-in Editor where you can edit the properties of the selected Effect instance in real time.

(Location in Hierarchy)

Displays the location in the Effects hierarchy where the selected ShareSet can be found. If it is a custom instance of the Effect, it will show the name of the custom instance.

Bypass All

Determines whether all Effects are bypassed or not.

Default value: true
