The main use of wave sounds is for sound effects, which require an extremely large variety of wave sounds. It would be inefficient to load all of these wave sounds individually into memory. The Wave Sound Set defines a combination of waveform data that can be loaded into memory all at once.<br> Usually, a set of waveform data for sound effects is collected together for each scene and loaded into memory. Sound data that assumes this approach to the loading of waveform data can be created by using a Wave Sound Set to efficiently gather together the effect sounds (wave sounds) to be used in a given scene.<br> 18</p> 19 20<h2>Creating and Adding Wave Sound Sets</h2> 21<p>To create or add a Wave Sound Set, select the list region in the <B>Sound Set</B> tab and then select <B>Project</B> → <B>Add Item</B> → <B>Wave Sound Sets</B>.<br> 22 </p> 23<p> 24To create or add a wave sound set, right-click the Wave Sound Set List and use the shortcut menu. 25</p> 26 27<h2>Elements Defining a Wave Sound Set List</h2> 28<p> 29This section describes the meaning of each of the elements that define a Wave Sound Set List.<br> 30</p> 31 32<h3>Name</h3> 33<p> 34Specifies the name of the wave sound set.<br> There are restrictions on the characters that can be used in a name.

Programs use this name to play the wave sound through the snd library from the sound archive that is ultimately created.<br> There are restrictions on the characters that can be used in a name. The following characters can be used.<br> - The first character must be a single-byte letter or an underscore. [a-zA-Z_]<br>- Other characters must be single-byte alphanumeric or an underscore. [a-zA-Z0-9_] 70</p> 71 72<h3>Compression Method</h3> 73<p> 74Specifies the compression method to use when the converter converts reference wave files.<br> 75</p> 76<ul> 77<li>ADPCM</li><br> Converts a waveform file into a dedicated ADPCM format. <br>Be aware that the loop header is automatically transferred to the block header when the file is compressed, so you need to be careful if you are using the loop position to control the timing of playback. 78<li>PCM16</li><br>Converts into 16-bit PCM data. 79<li>PCM8</li><br>Converts into 8-bit PCM data. 80</ul> 81 82<h3>File Path</h3> 83<p> 84Specifies the wave file to be referenced when creating a wave sound.<br> 85</p> 86<p> 87There are restrictions on the characters that can be used in a file name or path name. The following characters can be used.<br> - The first character of a file name must be a single-byte letter or an underscore.

[a-zA-Z0-9_] 88</p> 89 90<h3>Duration</h3> 91<p> 92Displays the playback time for sounds (the length of the waveform data expressed as time).<br> The units are displayed in the "m:s.ms" format. The milliseconds are rounded up to the nearest two decimal places. 93</p> 94 95<h3>Data size</h3> 96<p> 97Shows the size of the waveform data after compression conversion.<br> The content on display is updated when files are converted.<br> 98</p> 99 100<h3>Volume</h3> 101<p> 102Specifies the volume (from 0 to 255) to use when the SND library plays the wave sound.<br> 103</p> 104<p> 105If sound data volume is set to 127, playback is made at an equal volume (x1) as source data.<BR> 106</p> 107<p> 108However, volume can be set in various ways (data or program).<BR> The result after all setting values are applied is clamped between 0.0x and 2.0x versus the source volume.<br> For more details, see the chapter <EM>Operating Sound Parameter Controls</EM> in the <EM>Sound System Manual</EM>. 109</p> 110 111<h3>Channel Priority</h3> 112<p> 113Specifies the channel priority of the wave sound as a value from 0 through 127. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Channel priority is used as the voice priority passed to the AX library when a wave sound is actually voiced. 114</p> 115 116<h3>Player Priority</h3> 117<p> 118Specifies the player priority of the wave sound as a value from 0 through 127. The higher the value, the higher the priority.<br> Player Priority selects which sounds to play (or stop) when the Player attempts to play more than its sound limit, or more than the maximum number of sounds and tracks as configured in the system settings.<br> For details, see the <I>Sound System Manual</I>. 119</p> 120 121<h3>Player</h3> 122<p> 123Specifies the player to use when voicing a wave sound. 124</p> 125 126<h3>Actor Players</h3> 127<p> 128The values 0 through 3 represent the four types of actor players to be played.<br> Because actor players correspond to a real-world sound source or, specifically, the vocal chords of a certain voice, it is possible to limit the number of sounds that can be played at the same time for each actor player.<br> Just as with a player, if the set number of sounds is exceeded, the player priority set for each sound is compared, and the sound with the lowest priority is stopped. The initial value of the number of restricted sounds for each actor player is unlimited for actor player number 0, and 1 for all other actor player numbers 1 through 3.<br> 129</p> 130<p> 131Actor players are mainly used in conjunction with 3D sound actors. As an example, this is useful when you want to suppress the playback of a sound at the actor level in situations where the same sound might be played simultaneously by multiple 3D sound actors.<br> 132</p> 133 134<h3>Pan</h3> 135<p> 136Specifies the pan (from 0 to 127) to use when the SND library plays the wave sound.<br> 137</p> 138 139<h3>Pitch</h3> 140 <p>Specifies the pitch (as a percentage) to use when the snd library plays the wave sound.<br> 141 </p> 142 <p>You cannot enter a number smaller than 0.00001.

The larger the value, the greater the change in pitch, while a value of 0 represents absolutely no change in pitch.<br> 203</p> 204 205<h3>Pan Mode</h3> 206<p> 207Select Dual or Balance as the pan operational mode for stereo waveforms. Balance is the mode in which the left/right audio volume balance is adjusted, and Dual is the mode in which pan is set using the left and right channels as separate monaural voices. 208</p> 209<p>For more information about setting and using pan modes, see the "Pan Operations" section in the <I>Sound System Manual</I>. 210</p> 211 212<h3>Pan Curve</h3> 213<p> 214Pan curve sets the type of attenuation curve used to determine the audio volume on the left and right channels during pan operations. 215</p> 216<p>For more information about setting and using pan curves, see the "Pan Operations" section in the <I>Sound System Manual</I>. 217</p> 218 219<h3>Front Bypass</h3> 220<p> 221Sets whether to use the front bypass setting for 3D Surround. <br> When this check box is selected, the mode becomes Front Bypass mode. 222</p> 223<p> 224In Front Bypass mode, the front L/R audio plays from the locations of the physical speakers.<br> In normal 3D Surround, the front L/R audio plays from the locations of the virtual speakers (which are wider than the physical speakers) 225</p> 226 227<h3>User Settings</h3> 228<p> 229Configures the 32-bit numerical value that the user is free to set.<br> 230</p> 231<p><br></p> 232 233<hr><p>CONFIDENTIAL</p></body> </html> 234
