If AK::SoundEngine::LoadBank can load a bank from memory, will it load and copy to an internal heap, or will it use the bank "inplace" and if so will it modify the memory ?

The LoadBank() that loads from memory does it by reading data in-place, without modifying it. Audio Data is registered in-place and not copied or moved. Meta Data is parsed and related objects are instantiated in the sound engine pool. However this represents only a small percentage of the total bank size.
