Sound Loader
Method #
Play sound from an imported sound file. Once added to the nodegraph, the node will function without needing to be connected to the root node; useful for multi-layered projects, where a separate audio layer maybe required.
Sound will be played through your default audio device, but you can choose others using the Audio Devices Menu.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Sound
Source file for the sound that is played.
Volume Control
Change the volume of the played sound.
Pan
Pan audio to left or right channel.
Looping
Controls whether the sound loops across timeline loops or resets.
Time Offset
Offset the audio.
Waveform
Shows a graph of the waveform at the curent time
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
