Wave Units

Each Wave loaded in the WaveThunder is stored into a Wavwe Window, also called a Wave Unit.

Wave Properties

At any time you can change the properties of the wave (Sample frequency, mono/stereo 8/16 bits). Samplefrequencies of 88 kHz and 176 kHz are usefull to minimize distortion caused by manipulating waves. When the Sample frequency changed the wave itself is adapted so the speed will be the same. In memory waves are always store as 16 bit waves.

Creating new Wave Windows

You can easily create new windows. When you create a new wave window, you must first specify wave properties. The new wave window is empty. The new music window has minimal content.

Opening a Wave File

You can open wave and music files by a normal way using a dialogbox.

Saving a Wave File

You can save changes into the corresponding opened files. You can also save wave and music into another file by using a dialogbox.

Revert Changes

After opening a wave file, you can revert the unsaved changes easily.

Play and Record

You can Play or record waves. You can also select a part of the wave and play that piece.
You can also play (a piece of) a wave that has a low volume, at a high volume.
