File Format

The Waveplayer is using the multichannel wav format. All tracks are saved in one file. This is very 
comfortable, because you don't need to handle a lot of mono files. Some audio software will be able
to create multichannel files. But the recommend software to be used for this task is the freeware 
„Audacity“. Why? It is free, well tested with Waveplayer and it is simple to do.

Here a very brief instruction:

1. Start the software.
2. Create as many tracks as you need (1-8).
3. Fill the tracks with you content.
4. Export you work into a file (WAV PCM , 16 or 24 bit)
5. Done!

Note: There is a very important setting edit->preferences->import/export. This has to be set to 
„custom mix“. If this is not done, you will get stereo or mono files all the time.

SD Cards

Cards of any size can be used. The only requirement is to format the card to FAT/FAT32 with the 
minimal cluster size of 32kB. Cards bigger than 32GB will be supplied with exFAT and have to be 
reformatted to FAT32. This is not possible under Windows. You will need a special tool for that.
For example: Fat32 Format

Playing Parameter

Waveplayer is playing wav files from 1-8 channels in 16bit or 24 bit.
The supported sample frequencies are 32kHz, 44,1kHz and 48kHz.

Main and Channel Volume Settings

By repeatedly pressing the „Play“ button, while the device is playing a file, you can access the main
and channel volume settings. You can go backward by pressing the „Pause“ button, if you want to 
go back to other parameters in the list. The „+“ and „−“ button will change the volume in stages of 
0.5dB. The individual settings are saved when changing to the the next („Play“) or to the last 
(„Pause“) parameter.
