Source Editor: Wwise Synth One

The Source Editor displays all the properties associated with the Wwise Synth One plug-in. You can create different audio tones by modifying the various property values.

[Tip] Tip

To avoid clicks that may occur when transitioning between pure tones created by Synth One and other one-shot, unlooped sounds, use a fade-in and fade-out of 5 ms.

Interface Element

Description

Name

The user-defined name given to this instance of the Wwise Synth One plug-in.

Source Plugin

The type of source plug-in.

Notes

Any additional information about the Wwise Synth One plug-in.

Input

Frequency Mode

The source of the input frequency used by the oscillators.

Base Frequency: frequency is obtained from the Base Frequency property

MIDI Note: frequency is obtained from received MIDI note events

Default value: Base Frequency

Base Frequency

Input frequency for oscillators in Hz; enabled only when Frequency Mode is set to Base Frequency.

Default value: 1000

Oscillators

Waveform

Type of waveform used to create the oscillator’s output.

The following waveforms are available:

  • Sine
  • Triangular
  • Square
  • Sawtooth

Default value: Sine

Transpose

Transposition of input frequency, in cents.

Default value: 0
Range: -3600 to 3600
Units: Cents

Level

Level applied to output of oscillator, in dB. The level is applied before the oscillators are combined.

Default value: -6.0
Range: -96.0 to 24.0
Units: dB

PWM

Pulse Width Modulation, in percent.

Note that setting PWM to 50 bypasses all associated computations, improving performance.

Default value: 50
Range: 0.0 to 100.0

Invert

Whether the output of the oscillator is inverted or not.

Default value: false

Noise

Noise Shape

Type of noise generated.

The following noise types are available:

  • White Noise
  • Pink Noise
  • Red Noise
  • Purple Noise

Default value: White Noise

Noise Level

Level applied to output of noise module, in dB. The level is applied before the output of the noise module is mixed with the combined oscillator outputs.

Note that setting the noise level to -96 bypasses all associated noise computations, improving performance.

Default value: -96.0
Range: -96.0 to 24.0
Units: dB

Quality

Over-sampling

If over-sampling is used to generate the oscillator outputs.

Enabling this option improves sound quality, but decreases performance.

Default value: true

Output

Operation Mode

How the oscillator outputs are combined.

The following output modes are available:

  • Mix: the samples are added
  • Ring: the samples are multiplied

Default value: Mix

FM Amount

Frequency modulation. This value determines how much of oscillator 2’s output is used to generate oscillator 1’s output.

Note that setting FM to 0 bypasses all associated computations, improving performance.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 100

Output Level

Level applied to the final signal (combined oscillator outputs mixed with noise generator output).

Default value: 0.0
Range: -96.0 to 24.0
Units: dB
