YAMAHA Wave Editor TWE
Version 2.2.0
for Macintosh
Owner's manual (1/3)
The TWE wave editor (hereafter referred to as TWE) is software for digitally
recording sounds (instrumental sounds, sound effects, voice, etc.) to the
hard disk of a personal computer, and for editing recorded sound data. If an
external Yamaha sampler (*) is connected via a SCSI connection, the sound
data recorded in the sampler can be loaded into TWE and edited, and then re-
transmitted back to the sampler.
*This software supports the Yamaha A3000/4000/5000 professional samplers and
the EX5/5R/7 synthesizers.
TWE was created by the Yamaha Corporation, and is distributed at no cost.
Yamaha Corporation makes no guarantees, implicit or explicit, regarding the
quality or performance of this software. Yamaha Corporation will accept no
responsibility for any damages, direct or consequential (including extended
damages), which may result from use of this software. You must make backups
of data files you create.
In order to use this software, you will need to be familiar with the
Macintosh and the connected devices. Before using this software, please
carefully read this manual and the manuals for your connected device and
Macintosh.
*By using this software, it is possible to create sound data which could not
be produced by normal recording. However, be aware that playing back high
volume full-scale data, or data of extremely low frequencies below 20 Hertz,
or data with a large direct current component may damage your ears and/or
any speakers or headphones that are connected. Please use caution.
