The wave converter tool is used to convert waves into the Sound Format (Tone with Wave), which can be loaded by the IDES-Keyboard.

The basic function of Wave Converter is to load audio samples (.wav format, described hereafter as "waves") and map them across the keyboard in up to 16 different zones. This means that you can have up to 16 different samples each playing in a different range across the keyboard. These could be different pitches of the same instrument (for example a piano or guitar sample) or they could be completely different instruments (for example drum instruments).

There are some basic functions to alter how the samples work in the final Tone with Wave Format , and we'll look at these in detail in chapter 3. If you have a basic knowledge of sampling, Wave Converter will be very easy for you to use.

It is important to realize that Wave Converter is not a sampler itself. You must create waves (ie: samples) in a suitable Digital Audio programe, or load them from an existing library. Wave Converter is a tool for combining up to 16 waves into a Tone with Wave, in which those waves are mapped across the keyboard in distinct zones.
