Awave Studio

Awave Studio is a multi-purpose audio tool that reads a plethora of audio carrying file formats from different platforms, synthesizers, trackers. It can be used in a variety of ways — as a file format converter, as an audio editor, or as a synthesizer instrument editor. It is the Swiss army knife for anyone working with digital audio and music.

Feature overview:

• Do conversions between 400+ audio related file formats. See the complete list.
• Read and write the instrument formats of many commercial synthesizers, hardware modules, and software synths, including formats from AKAI, Ensoniq, Korg, Kurzweil, Roland, Yamaha, Native Instruments and many more.
• High quality conversion can be made between most formats, preserving important synthesis parameters such as LFOs, filters and envelopes.

• Read several disk formats that can not normally be accessed by Windows, including formats used by AKAI S-1000 CDs, AKAI S-3000 CDs, Roland S-5xx and S-7xx series CDs and floppy disks, and Kurzweil native CDs.

• Auto-sample any MIDI or VSTi 2 instrument.

• Convert song data between several formats.
• Convert your songs into audio clips with superior audio quality using the bult-in software synthesizer.
• Convert FM and LA synthesis instruments into sampled instruments — with conversion support for all major Yamaha DX-series and Roland D-50/MT-32 SysEx formats, as well as PC Adlib file formats.
• The Batch conversion wizard makes converting large numbers of audio files extremely simple — including optional effects processing.
• The Audio, Instrument and Song processing wizards helps you with common editing tasks, e.g. resampling, normalizing, time stretching, pitch scaling, smoothing, recombining, ...
• Data is organized in an easy to use three pane layout — with a hierarchical instrument tree to the left, a waveform list in the model, and a property inspector view to the right.
• Graphical editors for instrument parameters — e.g. the much applauded loop editor that lets you easily find the best loops.

• Edit parameters for multiple items simultaneously, as quickly and easily as you edit a single item.

• Fully supports SoundFont 2, DLS level 2, and a large subset of SFZ v2.

• You can also use it as an editor for many other synths — for some, it is the only PC editor.

• Audition instruments directly with the PC keyboard or using an external MIDI keyboard.
