About Image Line DirectWave Software

Take your music production to the next level with the sophisticated DirectWave VSTi Sampler Software, an innovative and advanced virtual instrument that offers unparalleled sound manipulation capabilities. This high-quality, user-friendly software is a comprehensive solution for both novice and professional music creators who demand versatility and reliability in their digital audio workstations.

DirectWave stands out as one of the most complete VSTi samplers currently on the market, featuring a 16-part multitimbral, 32-bit architecture that ensures a rich and dynamic sonic experience. With an impressive 128 voice polyphony and 128 programs, this software provides a vast sonic palette for crafting unique sounds.

The software supports unlimited zones per program, accommodating all sample rates for maximum compatibility and audio fidelity. Realtime SINC-64 point interpolation delivers high-quality, audiophile-grade sound, ensuring that your music resonates with clarity and depth.

Whether you're operating in poly, mono, or legato modes, DirectWave's glide/auto mode adds expressive transitions and smooth pitch variations to your compositions. The dual 24 dB 5-mode filters can be run in serial or parallel configurations, offering extensive sound shaping possibilities.

A flexible 16-slot modulation matrix and two modulation ADSR envelopes, along with two zone-independent and two global program modulation LFOs, provide intricate modulation options to animate your sounds. DirectWave also includes automatable loop points and reverse loop points, with various loop modes like forward, one-shot, sustained, and bounce looping, adding to the creative potential.

The built-in voice insert effects for each zone, including ring modulation, sample rate decimator, bit crusher, and phaser, allow for detailed sound design. Send effects like chorus, reverb, and delay (with filtered feedback and host tempo sync) can be independently adjusted per zone, giving you precise control over the spatial aspects of your mix.

DirectWave offers freely assignable 16 stereo outputs, a multi-editor with channel list, mixer, and GUI controls for expression, modulation, and pitch bend. The built-in sample editor comes with a suite of destructive editing tools and a loop finding feature, enhancing your workflow and efficiency.

Realtime sampling/recording capabilities let you capture audio directly into DirectWave, and the built-in VSTi host automates the "sampling" of your VST instruments seamlessly. The Total Recall operation mode ensures that all required sample data is included in your project files, creating portable projects without the concern for missing samples.

Importing sounds is a breeze with DirectWave, supporting a wide array of formats like WAV, SF2 (Soundfont), AKP (Akai), and more. The software offers several importing methods, including built-in browsing, drag-and-drop, and menu options, complemented by a fast library browser and a tree-arranged program selector.

The zone editor provides a visual arrangement map and a detailed list of zone properties, ensuring that all program/zone parameters can be automated as VST parameters. DirectWave opens up a world of sounds by loading and editing most existing sound formats, and even sampling your existing VSTi instruments.

DirectWave Player is now included for free in all versions of FL Studio, enhancing the value of this already robust software. In the FL Studio demo, you can switch between DirectWave Player and DirectWave full to fully test the program's capabilities.
