FMJ-Software updates Awave Studio to v12.12

2nd January 2026

FMJ-Software has updated Awave Studio, a multi-purpose instrument and audio editor and file format converter, to version 12.12.

New features:

Added support for reading Fairlight CMI I/II/IIx voice files (.VC). Thus, conversion support now reaches from the present time all the way back to the first commercially available sampling synthesizer.
The envelope velocity to time parameters have been changed from unitless multipliers to linear additive (values in seconds, with the velocity as a bipolar source - which corresponds better to e.g. .SFZ and .NKI).
Added option: On Save: WAV files: Don't save default loop if its type is 'Off' and there's no alternate loop.
Added option: On Load: EXS files: Apply loop crossfade times to waveform data (destructively).
The options for Dialogic VOX and Sound Designer II data formats have moved to the normal Settings page, cf. On Load: VOX files, and On Load: SD2 files.
When auditioning and playing with the Legato pedal down - if no Alt Start marker is present, the internal synth will now instead crossfade to the loop start (if any).
Updated bundled codecs DLLs.
