What is CRI Atom Craft Robot?

"CRI Atom Craft Robot" is a feature that can automatically help to reduce human error or the burden of time-consuming work by arbitrary rules, e.g. register a large amount of sound data to CRI Atom Craft and change the settings of registered sound data, etc. The CRI Atom Craft Robot function contributes to reducing the workload of sound designers, simplifies data creation for managed games, and improves sound production workflows.

For example, it can be used in the following cases:

Use Case 1: Edit Automation for large amount of data

You can automate operations to multiple data such as data setting, to check the set value or to set a new value.
In addition to batch settings, you can use your own parameters to set rules to automatically change the Categories attached according to the Cue names.

Use Case 2: Create error-free additional distribution data

You can easily create and output game data based on spreadsheets.
For example, based on the rules you set in the sound list in Excel, it is possible to create Cue Sheets and Cues & build in a single process.
Anyone can easily use this function to create data without using GUI.

Use Case 3: Enhanced the integration with DAW, etc.

You can embed with other tools, including scripting tools.
For example, you can import the timeline information of Reaper or automatically add the Bounce results to Material.
