Tools

The following tools are available from the Studio->Tools menu:

• Sample Rate Converter
• Stereo Merger
• MIDI File Merger

Sample Rate Converter

Changes the samplerate of a file. Can be used (for instance) for CD(44.1 kHz)/DAT(48 kHz) conversion. Samplerate can be thought of as being the digital equivalent of the analog tape recorder's tape speed.

The Noise Shaping Button determines whether or not to apply noise shaping to the dither signal.

Stereo Merger

The Stereo Merger takes two mono audio files and merges them into one stereo audio file. One file is used for the left channel, the other for the right channel.

MIDI File Merger

The MIDI File Merger can merge any combination of the currently loaded MIDI tracks in a single MIDI file. This tool is intended for moving your MIDI tracks to third party notation software. The current versions of the tracks are used (the MIDI files are not read from disk), so you can temporarily change MIDI channels, or quantize tracks if necessary.
