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 300+ audio related file formats. See the complete list.
• Read and write the instrument formats of many commercial synthesizers, hardware modules, and popular software synths. This includes 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.

• 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.

• Convert song data between several formats (e.g. MOD-tracker modules into SMF accompanied by custom instruments).
• Convert your MIDI songs into audio clips with superior audio quality using the bult-in Awave Synthesizer — which is also used for real-time auditioning of instruments.
• Convert FM-synthesis instruments into sampled instruments — with conversion support for all major Yamaha DX-series 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 Processing Wizard helps you with common editing tasks, e.g. resampling, fading, merging and combining waveforms, normalizing, time stretching, pitch scaling, smoothing, recombining, searching and replacing text, ...
• The Instrument Processing Wizard helps you with some repetitive editing tasks for instruments.
• 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.
• 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.

• Audition (play & listen to) instruments directly using the PC keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard.
