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 genericwavetable synthesizer instrument editor and format converter. Data is internally represented in a superset of the format defined by the downloadable Sounds level 2 standard.

It can be viewed in an 'Explorer like' view with two 'panes'. The left pane handles the wavetable synth architecture using a tree with the 'collection' as the stem, instruments, layers, and regions as branches, and finally, waveforms as leaves (the basic sound producing units). The right panes is a 'pool' of all loaded waveforms. 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, including a 'process all' dialog, from which you can apply selected operations to all items. DirectShow audio effect filters are supported so that you can use many 'effect plugins' from other companies. The 'AudioPlayer' feature is a nice audio playback control, sporting both real-time oscilloscope and frequency analyzer graphs.

New features include Replay Gain psycho-acoustically corrected volume normalization support, improved noise shaped dithering, improved sample rate conversion, FLAC lossless compression support, MP3 codec delay removal, new normalization option, CD de-emphasis support, support for WavPack, EBU RF64, Apple lossless, wildcard pattern renaming, and support for the Apple CoreAudio file format.
