Free sonar software for windows

EdgeSounds RatHole (former GenieSys RatHole) is a free unique nondestructive universal compression utility. Its function is based on a principle of self-training neural networks.
EdgeSounds RatHole was especially designed for nondestructive compression of any files containing audio data in PCM 8/16/24 bit or IEEE_FLOAT 32 bit format.
A new EdgeSounds compression algorithm makes it possible to efficiently reduce the size of packed audio data and later unpack exactly same bits, with no difference to the original data.
The compression algorithm compresses audio data, considering the bit depth of the digital data contained in the audio file (8/16/24/32 bit).
The algorithm is proven to be equally effective on compressing the following file types:
- Audio files WAV, AU, AIFF, SND;
- Ensoniq Paris PAS;
Sample sound banks as:
- AVM Apex bank file APEX
- Aureal sound bank ARL
- Creative Labs/E-mu System SoundFont banks format 1&2.x SBK, SF2;
- Downloadable sounds level 1&2 DLS;
- Ensoniq EPS Files EFE, Ensoniq Instruments family files INS, Ensoniq Disk Image GKH;
- Gravis Ultrasound /Forte Patch PAT;
- Kurzweil 2000-2600 files KRZ;
- Nemesys/Tascam GIG;
- Seer Systems Reality banks SEERBANKSET;
- Turtle Beach WaveFront Bank WFB;
- Virtual Sampler bank VSB;
- Multi-track audio data as Cakewalk/Sonar BUN, CWB;
- Impulse Tracker instrument ITI, Fast Tracker 2 instrument XI;
- any other formats containing audio data.
The compression ratio of the algorithm depends on the size of audio data, the balance between the tone and noise component, bit depth and other factors, and usually varies from 36% to 78% or even more, with an average of 48-56%.
The compression ratio is better if bit depth and the fidelity of audio data are higher.
The RatHole can be successfully used as a common archiving utility for any other file types as well.

Would you like to create a MIDI loop in a Cakewalk track by performing a single action? How would you like to easily create your own MIDI loop libraries and use them in your future work? Would you then want to easily manipulate those libraries and have lightning fast access to any of them from within any song? Do you want to select and audition your loops on the fly? If you want all this and more, try Looper, our free MIDI FX Plug-in for Cakewalk.
You can assign Looper to any MIDI track in Cakewalk. Simply select a part of the track you want to loop, drag & drop it into the Looper window, and just like that youre done.
OK, do you like your creation? The Looper plug-in was designed to help you create your own MIDI loop libraries and sort them any way you want. More importantly, Looper lets you select any MIDI loop from your library and immediately audition it.
Loopers interface is so intuitive and easy to use that you will be a bona fide power user five minutes after you begin using it. Our detailed help and demo songs will make your work even easier. We know our work will make a significant difference in yours.
