Toolbar

Details Panel

The Details panel displays the properties of the currently selected node. If multiple nodes are selected, the Details panel displays only the properties that the nodes have in common.

Viewport Panel

The Viewport panel contains the Sound Node Graph, which displays the audio signal path with wire-connected Sound Nodes which manipulate the signal as data flows through the Sound Cue.

For general information about the Sound Cue Editor and working with the Sound Node Graph, see the Sound Cue Editor documentation.

Palette Panel

The Palette panel lists all of the available Sound Node types available for Sound Cues. You can add a node to a Sound Node Graph by dragging one of the types from the list in Palette panel into the Viewport panel.

For information about Sound Node types and their properties, see the [Sound Cue Reference] (working-with-audio/sound-sources/sound-cues/sound-cue-reference) documentation.
