Understanding the Transition Matrix

The center of the Transitions tab is the Transition Matrix, a list of rules that defines how each object within a Music Switch or Playlist Container transitions to every other object within the container. When working with transitions, you can create explicit rules for each object in a container, or more general rules that apply to more than one object. You can define any one of the following as the source or destination of a transition rule:

  • Music object: This can be a segment, a Music Playlist Container, or a Music Switch Container.

  • Virtual Folder: Music objects that are within a Music Switch Container can be organized into Virtual Folders. When a Virtual Folder is selected as a source or destination for a music transitions, the transition rule applies to any of the music objects within the folder.

  • Any: This means that any music object in the container can be used as the source or destination.

  • Nothing: This means that either the source or destination is empty, that is, there is no music object playing.

When a transition is needed, Wwise begins searching at the bottom of the list until it finds one that applies to the current situation. If no matching transition is found, Wwise uses the default “Any to Any” transition.
