 Description: 

      Awave reads a veritable host of audio carrying file
     formats from different platforms, synthesizers and
     trackers. It can be used in a variety of ways: as an audio
     file format converter, an audio editor, an audio player, and,
     last but not least, as a wavetable synthesizer instrument
     format converter and editor. Data is internally represented
     in a superset of the format defined by the DownLoadable
     Sounds architecture level 1 standard. It can be viewed as a
     graphical tree with the ‘collection’ as the stem, instruments,
     layers, and regions as branches, and finally, waveforms as
     leaves.
     If you have one of the supported wavetable synthesis sound
     cards you can simply click on an item, and directly
     'audition' it using either a midi keyboard or the computer
     keyboard. If don't have such a card, you are still in luck!
     There is a crude software synthesizer that runs on any
     sound card!
     Saving to any of the supported export formats is just a
     button away! Sending and receiving MIDI SDS dumps are
     also supported for transferring waveforms to professional
     synthesizers. There are visual editors for all parameters
     like waveform loop points and layer keymaps. Basic audio
     processing and editing functions are also provided.
     The 'AudioPlayer' feature is a nice audio playback control,
     sporting both real-time oscilloscope and frequency
     analyzer graphs. It is available from inside Awave as well
     as integrated into the Windows95 shell in order to easily
     let you play the sounds of any of the supported file
     formats! Thus it is also and ideal 'helper app' for your
     WWW-browser!
     If you are into any form of sampled audio on the Windows
     platform, you'll most likely find this program useful!
