Cri Atom Source's parameter

Cri Atom Source's parameter

Parameter	Description
Cue Sheet	A Cue Sheet with data for the Cue to be played. Please use the name of Cue Sheet set in the CRI Atom component. If not specified, a Cue that matches the Cue Name will be searched for and played from all of the loaded Cue Sheets.
Cue Name	The name of the Cue to be played.
CriAtom Object	Object which holds the Cri Atom component. It is set automatically when the Cri Atom Source is created.
Play On Start	If enabled, playback will be triggered in the Start() method.
Volume	The volume of the Cue to play. The value represents magnification of the amplitude data. 1.0 for original volume.
Pitch	The pitch of the Cue to play. The unit is cent. The pitch changes by 1 octave for 1200 cents.
Loop	When enabled, playback will return to the beginning when the end of the Cue is reached.
3D Positioning	When enabled, 3D positioning playback of the Cue is possible.
- Freeze Orientation	When enabled, the orientation of the sound source will not follow changes in the orientation of the GameObject.
- Region On Start	3D Region of Cri Atom Source. You can specify a CRI Atom Region that represents the 3D region. For details, please refer to " Spatial acoustic connection function "3D Transceiver" ".
- Listener On Start	Listener corresponding to Cri Atom Source. If a listener is specified, the audio will reach only the corresponding listener. If no listener is specified, the audio will reach all listeners.
- 3D Randomization	Enables the function to randomly set the playback position of the 3D sound source. For details, please refer to " Randomization of 3D sound source playback position ".
– Follow origin	Sets whether to follow the position and orientation of the CriAtomSource object after the playback starts at a random position.
– Type	Selects the shape of the random position range (the method used to generate random coordinates).
– Parameters of the random position range	Parameters that determine the size of the random position range. The parameters change depending on which calculation type has been chosen.

Parameters for Android

• [Low Latency Playback] Checkbox

• You can try using SonicSYNC for lower playback latency.
  This function will not be available if SonicSYNC is in use. The related settings will be ignored in this case.
  See " Restrictions when using SonicSYNC " for details.
  
• If SonicSYNC is disabled, you can use the low-latency play voice pool
  on Android devices by turning on Low Latency Playback.
  The voice pool will be selected according to the CRIWARE Initializer settings.
  Please refer to " Low-latency sound playback on Android " for details.
  

Preview playback

You can preview playback using the Play/Stop button on Cri Atom Source's Inspector.
However, in preview playback, 3D positioning is disabled regardless of the Cue settings.
For audio that has 3D positioning applied, play it in the game to check it.

Creating Cri Atom Source

You can create a Cri Atom Source from Atom Browser window .
If you want to attach a Cri Atom Source to a GameObject without using the AtomBrowser window,
please specify the appropriate Cue by setting up Cue Sheet and CueName, or by using CriAtomExPlayer.SetCue .

If created using the AtomBrowser window, the Cue Sheet and Cue Name of the selected Cue will be automatically applied to the Cri Atom Source.

• Create GameObject

Create a new GameObject and attach a Cri Atom Source component to it.
If an existing GameObject is selected, a new GameObject will be created as a child object of the selected GameObject.

• Add Component

Attach a Cri Atom Source component to the selected GameObject.

Accessing CriAtomExPlayer

For finer playback control, please use the CriAtomExPlayer API which is also used internally.
You can get an instance from the following parameter:

• CriAtomSource.player
