Sonicware Lofi-12 XT Tool v2.0.0

The tool has been rebuilt from scratch with Electron. It has a new, modern layout but keeps the familiar grey and orange look.

✨ New

  • New layout: settings in a sidebar, with the file list, waveform and a convert bar with a progress bar in the main window. The window can now be resized.
  • Installer: SonicwareTool Setup 2.0.0.exe installs with one click for your user (no admin rights needed) and adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts. A portable .exe is also available.
  • Seven languages: English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Swedish. Pick one at the bottom of the sidebar.
  • Hardware profiles: Sonicware Lofi-12 XT, Lofi-12 (Original) and Elektron Digitakt (Mk1).
  • Auto-Trim and Reverse: remove silence at both ends, or reverse samples while converting.
  • Better preview: play files and see their waveform for WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG and M4A.
  • Clear errors: files that fail are marked in the list, and you can hover over one to see the SoX error message. Files that convert are marked with ✓.
  • SoX-NG support: the tool finds sox_ng.exe or sox.exe next to the program, in the default install folder or on your PATH, and asks you to locate it if it can't find either.

🔧 Improvements

  • Dropped folders are now scanned for audio files.
  • The same file is no longer added to the list twice.
  • Existing files are never overwritten; a numbered suffix is added instead.
  • Settings are saved in %APPDATA%\SonicwareTool\settings.json, and settings from v1.x are imported automatically.

⚠️ Notes

  • New license: the project is now under GPL-3.0 instead of MIT. v1.0.0 is still MIT.
  • SoX is still required: the installed version looks for SoX in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\SonicwareTool or on your PATH. Otherwise it asks you to locate SoX the first time you convert.
  • Larger download: the download is about 100 MB because Electron is included.
  • Windows only: only Windows has been tested.

📦 Downloads

  • SonicwareTool Setup 2.0.0.exe: installer (recommended)
