The WavePlayer of MAGIX midi studio generation 6 pro-
vides polyphonic playback—including filter and envelope
treatment—of any WAV-files you like. This is just like
having a dedicated sampler without buying expensive ex-
ternal hardware.
As with the MAGIX midi studio generation 6 in general,
the CPU of your computer also computes the WavePlayer.
Therefore, in order to get a lot of voices and fast computa-
tion of all processes simultaneously, the following simple
rule-of-thumb applies: the faster the CPU and the larger
the RAM, the better. Don’t try to save money on these
items, especially if you are planning a new purchase. False
economy at the beginning could very possibly lead to frus-
tration later on.
WavePlayer driver: In order to use the WavePlayer,
please bear in mind that you have to select a DirectSound
driver for the WavePlayer under Audio > Audio Hardware
& Drivers > Audio Driver, because the WavePlayer works
only with a DirectSound driver.
If you want to use the WavePlayer and the audio features
of MAGIX midi studio generation 6 simultaneously, you
have to use a DirectSound driver for PC AV also.
Controlling the WavePlayer: The Waveplayer is con-
trolled via its special track in the Arrange. This track can-
not be erased.
The Track parameter box of the WavePlayer: The
Track parameter box of the WavePlayer differs only
slightly from those of MIDI tracks (see section
The Track
Parameters from page 124 onwards). You will notice that
there are no settings for the MIDI port and channel as
these are not necessary for the WavePlayer.
You will, however, find a new checkbox: No seq trp. Trans-
positions of sequences on the WavePlayer track will be ig-
nored if this is checked. This is very useful if the Wave-
Player plays back drumloops or drumkits, because
transposing such elements would result in unwanted tim-
ing shifts and timbral mutations (see also section Chase
Notes in ‘No Seq Trp’ Instruments from page 281 onwards).
Opening the WavePlayer window: You can call up the
WavePlayer window via Options > WavePlayer…, the re-
