## Definition

### Remarks

When you call [AudioSource.Play](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/audiosource/play.md), the [AudioSource](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/audiosource.md) will instantiate a Generator from the CreateRuntime function and render samples from it as the audio system mixes. The instantiated Generator instance will be assigned to [AudioSource.generatorInstance](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/audiosource/generatorinstance.md) for runtime scripting control while it is playing.
