Preset picker for AcousticMaterial. Click the strip or double-click the component to search the materials library by name and category, or choose Custom at the top; on the chart, set any band's absorption or scattering. Connect absorption or scattering (a value per octave band, 125 Hz to 8 kHz) to replace the chosen material's coefficients.
