Release list
Wavelens free tools - v071-beta
Version 0.7.1-beta of the two free WaveLens command-line tools, released together with WaveLens 0.7.1-beta. No license, no installer, nothing to set up.
What's new: wavgen has a new --fade-in option, and both tools are updated to version 0.7.1-beta.
Tools
- wavgen generates WAV test signals: tones, sweeps, level steps, noise, and band-limited square and sawtooth waves, with an optional sync tone. Sample rates from 22,050 to 192,000 Hz; 16, 24 or 32-bit; mono or stereo. The same command always writes the same file.
- wavchan works with the channels of WAV files:
splita stereo or multichannel file into per-channel files or stereo pairs,packmono and stereo files into one file,infoto read a file's channel layout,joinfiles end to end, andmixthem together. 16, 24 and 32-bit integer and 32 and 64-bit floating-point WAV, plain or WAVEX.
Run either tool with --help to see its usage.
Download
Download wavelens-v071-beta-free-tools.zip below. Ignore the "Source code (zip)" and "Source code (tar.gz)" entries: GitHub adds them to every release, and they hold only the README and the guides.
Unzip it. It holds one folder per system, each with wavgen, wavchan and a SHA256SUMS file:
| System | Folder | First run |
|---|---|---|
| Windows (64-bit) | windows |
These beta builds aren't code-signed, so SmartScreen may show an "unknown publisher" warning. Choose "More info", then "Run anyway". |
| macOS (Intel; Apple Silicon runs them through Rosetta 2) | macos |
Not signed or notarized yet, so macOS can block the first run. From inside the macos folder, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine . |
| Linux (64-bit Intel/AMD) | linux |
A single self-contained file. If the shell says "permission denied", run chmod +x wavgen wavchan once. |
The README has the details for each system.
