Sounds (Resources)†

Manage sound data. sound formats available in RPG Developer Bakin are .ogg, .wav(Uncompressed PCM only).
(!)The sampling rate of the sound file can be set to 48 kHz (48000 Hz) in advance before importing to prevent deterioration of sound quality.

Specify Local Name
Valid only when a folder is selected.
Folder name localization function.
English folder names can be specified when opening in the English version.

Export Selected Elements
Export the selected elements as an .exrbr file. If multiple selections are made, they are combined into one file.
The .exrbr file is a file format that allows various resources to be compiled and imported into Bakin.

Open the Resources Folder in Explorer
Open the folder where the resource is stored.

Open the Import Folder in Explorer
Open the folder for import.

Copy GUID
Copy the unique GUID of the sound file.

Sort This Hierarchy by Name
Sort alphabetically by name within the selected hierarchy/folder.

Sort Selected Elements by Name
Sort only on multiple selections.

Be Sure to Include in Published Work Export
Ensure that the selected resources are included in the work when it is exported as a published work.
(!)When exporting a work as a published work, resources other than “resources used in the game,” such as those placed on maps or used in events, will not be included in the work.
Therefore, resources that are used only by plugins installed in the work must be explicitly included in the work with this feature.

Waveform Preview†

This is the sound waveform preview screen.

Preview Screen
Sound waveform data is displayed.

Test Play Button
Play the sound from the beginning.

Stop Button
Stop sound playback.

Sound Settings†

This section is for sound settings.

Name
Specify a sound name for use within this project.
(It can also be changed by clicking twice on the sound name in the sound list.)

Basic
- File Name (cannot be changed)
  The file name of the sound.

Folder Name (cannot be changed)
The name of the folder where the sound is stored.

Number of Channels (cannot be changed)
The number of sound channels.

Sampling Rate (cannot be changed)
The sampling rate of the sound.

Length (cannot be changed)
Sound length.

Type
The type of sound can be specified as one of three types: BGM, Environmental Sound, or SE.
If you want to play background music at the event, you can choose from the "BGM" type, and if you want to play SE, you can choose from the "SE" type.
If this "Type" is not specified, all imported data will be specified as BGM, so please change the type according to your data usage.

Loop
- Use Loop
  Use the sound data loop specification.
  Loop start/end points must be embedded in the sound data in advance. Please use a sound data processing tool to specify the loop.

Start Point
The number of seconds at the start of the loop setting included in the sound data.

End Point
The number of seconds at the end of the loop setting included in the sound data.

Adjustment
- Volume
  You can specify the volume of the sound within this project. This will be the default volume when adjusting the volume in events and configurations.

3D Sound Settings
Adjust the settings when “3D Sound” is checked in the “Play Sound Effect” event panel.
- Processing Method
  Specify how the stereo effect is applied.
  - Binaural
    Performs advanced surround processing that simulates auditory effects created by the shape of the human ear.
    
    Bakin features a 3D sound engine capable of reproducing binaural audio through regular speakers.
    This engine emulates how humans perceive sound with both ears, allowing for realistic depth and spatial positioning of audio. It’s also suitable for creating immersive experiences such as ASMR.

Planer
Only simple panning by left/right volume balance is performed.

Attenuation Curve
Specify the attenuation curve of the volume according to the distance.
- Fix
  No attenuation by distance is performed.

Linear
The volume changes linearly with distance. There is no attenuation up to the Attenuation Start Distance, and the volume becomes 0 at the Attenuation End Distance.

Logarithmic
Volume changes based on a logarithmic scale.
Like Linear, there is no attenuation before the Attenuation Start Distance. However, once that distance is exceeded, the volume initially drops sharply, then decreases more gradually as the distance increases.
The Attenuation End Distance is not used in this mode.

Attenuation Start Distance
Specify the distance at which the volume attenuation due to distance begins.

Attenuation End Distance
Specify the distance at which the volume attenuation by distance ends (i.e., the volume goes to zero).
