Awave Studio is a multi-purpose audio tool that is able to read a veritable host of audio carrying file formats from different platforms, synthesizers, trackers, mobile phones, etc. This powerful tool can be used in a variety of ways: as an audio file format converter, as an audio editor, an audio and MIDI player, and, last but not least, as a wavetable synthesizer instrument editor and format converter. You may use this tool in a lot of purposes and in many situations. If you have a strange audio file that you want to use but you can't figure out how to convert it into any sensible format that can be used by the other programs that you use, or maybe you even have a lot of files that you need to convert or process in some way, then Awave Studio can help you. If you are a composer and you want to take advantage of all those free instruments available on the web but you found it impossible to find any in the format used by your favourite synthesizer, or perhaps you have a set of sample libraries that you purchased for your old synth and want to use them on your new one too, then Awave Studio reads the instrument formats of most commercial synthesizers and soundcards on the market, and it can also write to a many of them. It also supports the standard SDS and SMDI protocols for transferring samples over MIDI or SCSI. If you want to play a MIDI song that comes with an 'instrument bank' that were created for another wavetable sound card than yours, then Awave Studio cannot only make high quality conversions between the most of the major sound cards; it can also load both the actual MIDI song plus the instruments and play it directly for you. Even more, it can also can do very high quality MIDI song to waveform (audio clip) conversions. (e.g. convert your song to an .MP3). If you need an audio editor, look no further. You can do such tasks as resampling, fading in and out, normalizing amplitudes, applying effects, and much, much more with Awave Studio.Awave Studio can also be used as an instrument editor for your synthesizer or wavetable sound card. You get editors for a vast set of instrument synthesis parameters. You can also 'customize' it for use as an editor for a particular synth.Features:-Do conversions from the about 260 audio related file formats that it can read (no kidding - you read that right - approximately two hundred and sixty!) into any of the 125 or so audio file formats that it can write! No other software even comes close to such a wide format support! -Do quality conversion between the instruments formats most common PC synthesizer sound cards. Some examples: SB AWE32, SB Live!, all Vortex II-based cards, TB Pinnacle, TB Maui, AVM Apex, Gravis UltraSound, UltraSound PnP. -Convert MIDI (and similar) song data between several formats. Or package MIDI songs together with custom instruments in a single file. E.g. you can convert MOD-tracker modules into MIDI-format accompanied by custom instruments! Or you why not convert melodies between different mobile phone ring signal formats? -Convert your MIDI songs (with or without custom instruments) into audio clips with superior audio quality using the Awave Software Synthesizer. -Read and write instrument formats for many commercial synthesizers, hardware modules, as well as many popular software synths. Including formats from Ensoniq, Akai, Korg, Kurzweil, Roland, Yamaha, Native Instruments, Creamware and many more. -Send or receive waveforms to professional synthesizers using standard SDS transfers over MIDI or really fast SMDI transfers over SCSI. -The program also allows you read several disk format that can normally not be accessed by Windows, including formats used by AKAI S-1000 CD's, AKAI S-3000 CD's, Roland S-5xx and S-7xx series CD's and floppy disks, Kurzweil "native" format CD's, and normal Audio CD's.-Convert FM-synthesis (phase modulation synthesis) instruments into wavetable synthesis (sampling synthesis) instruments with conversion support for all major Yamaha DX-series SysEx formats as well as PC Adlib file formats and MA-chip mobile phone ring-tone formats. -A 'Batch Conversion Wizard' makes converting large numbers of audio files extremely simple! And with optional effects processing! -The 'Audio Processing Wizard' makes it very easy to accomplish many common editing tasks like resampling, fading, cutting and pasting, merging and combining waveforms, normalizing, time stretching, pitch scaling, smothing, recombining, searching and replacing text and much, much more! 'DirectShow audio effect filters' (a.k.a. DirectX plug-ins) are also supported opening up whole world of 3rd party effect processing modules. And it lets you these things on multiple items simultaneously as easily as on a single one! A nice example is the 'cross-fade loop' function. Using this, you no longer have to search in vain for that elusive optimal loop point. Just select a likely portion of the waveform and cross-fade it and voil
