What is “Audio Phraser”?
Audio Phraser is a software that enables you to create your own Audio Styles (includes the Audio
Part only) from the desired audio (wav) files. When you create an Audio Style with this software, you
can assign the desired audio data to each section of the Styles (Intro 1-3, Main A-D, Fill In A-D,
Break, Ending 1-3) as an Audio Part.

NOTE
• The exported Style file can be used only via an instrument that supports Audio Styles as well as the SFF GE format.
• The exported Style file can be edited on the Style Creator function of the instrument that supports Audio Styles, as regarding parts other
than the Audio Part.
About the Audio Part
An Audio Part is a part of the Audio Style, which is itself a type of the Style. It is consists of waveform data and data for time
stretch playback in real time. When it is played back on the instrument, time stretch technology allows the waveform to follow
your tempo changes without changing pitch during playback, so the Audio Part will stay in sync with the tempo. The Audio Part
does not respond to chord input when it is played back on the instrument (in other words, it will not change pitch).

The Audio part is created by this software. When

MIDI parts. When exported, this data will be
stored as blank data by this software.

Menu
File:
For creating a new Audio Style project, saving or loading the project, exporting the project to an Audio Style file.
Edit:
For performing Undo/Redo on the immediately previous operation.
Setting:
For setting an audio output device used for auditioning.
Help:
For displaying an information of the software, such as the version etc.
w
Project Name
Shows the project name being edited.
e
Style Tempo and Time Signature
Shows the tempo and the time signature for the entire Style of the project. These values can be changed by entering numbers
directly.
NOTICE
Changing the time signature resets all settings of all sections.
[], []:
Incrementally changes the tempo.
[/2] (*):
Reanalyzes the tempo of the audio file (**), interpreting it as half of the current value. Also, it changes the style
tempo value to half of the original.
[x2] (*):
Reanalyzes the tempo of the audio file (**), interpreting it as twice the current value. Also, it changes the style
tempo value to twice the original.
* These buttons are available only when a single audio file is assigned to the whole project and the “Manual” checkbox is not checked in the section
edit area.
**
Tempo of the audio file:
The analysis result tempo of the audio file. This is analyzed when the audio file is imported or when the [/2] or [x2] oper-
ations are executed. This is a hidden parameter, so the value is not shown on the screen directly. For details, see the next page.
r
Audition operation area
This lets you perform audition operations. For details, see the following pages.

t
Section editing area
You can select the desired section for editing, and can assign the waveform to the section. For details, see the following
pages.
Time Stretch—Effects on the waveform by the tempo differences in the audio file
and Style when exporting
The audio file is automatically analyzed when imported, and the tempo is estimated. This tempo value of the audio is
not displayed with a number, but it is reflected in the beat display on the screen and the initial value of the Style
Tempo of the project. The tempo of the audio file and the Style Tempo are used for time stretching calculation when
exporting a project to a style file.
When exporting a project to a Style file, the assigned audio data to each section will be time stretched so that it fits to
the Style Tempo, and then the data is exported as the waveform data of the section.
For example, if the tempo of the audio file is 120 and the Style Tempo is 180, time stretch is executed so that it will
be 150% of the original audio data’s speed and the data will be saved and exported.
NOTE
• An analysis result file (.awi) is created in the same location as the imported audio file.
• The range of time stretching ratio is 50-200%. When the ratio by the settings results in exceeded this range, the project cannot be
exported to the Style file.
• The playback time calculated from the Style tempo, the time signature, and the “Bar” (number of measures) value is displayed as
the “Section length” on the Status bar.
• The original playback time of the selected range of the audio file is displayed as the “Wave length” on the Status bar.
• The time stretching ratio used in order to fit the selected audio data to the “Section length” is displayed as the “Time stretch” on the
Status bar.
Audition operation area of the Main window
[]/[]:
Starts/stops the audition playback of the audio data that is assigned to the section being edited. Playback continues in
a loop until stopped.
Volume slider:
Adjusts the volume of audition playback.
Time stretch:
When this is checked, you can audition the audio data which is processed by time stretching, as it will sound
when exported to a Style at the current setting. When not checked, the audio data is played back as is.
NOTE
• Time stretching is the process of changing the speed or duration of an audio signal without affecting its pitch.
• The audio data assigned to the section will be processed by time stretching so that fit the “Section length,” when the project will be
exported to an Audio Style file.
• During the audition playback of the time stretching results, a dedicated pop-up window is shown, and editing operations cannot be
performed during audition.
Click (*):
When this is checked, a metronome click sounds during audition playback. The volume of the click sound is fixed.
* This checkbox is available only when a single audio file is assigned to the entire project and the “Manual” checkbox is not checked in the section edit
area.

Section:
Shows the section name being edited. You can also select the section to be edited by this.

Shows the audio file name which is assigned to the section being edited. You can also change the assigned
audio file.
[+]:
Assign a new audio file to the section (import).
[-]:
Remove the current audio file assignment.
e
Manual:
When this is checked, you can manually enter all settings for waveform assignment of the section.
NOTE
• When this is checked, there are also changes to the display, which the grid of beats (analysis result) on the waveform area will not be
displayed, and some operation items will be disabled, etc.
• When two or more audio files are used in one project, the “Manual” checkboxes of all sections are checked automatically.
r
Waveform area:
Shows the waveform of the assigned audio file and the range assigned to the section being edited. You
can select the range of assignment by mouse operations.
The range assigned to the section is shown in yellow. When the “Manual” checkbox is not checked, the grid of beats based
on the analysis is shown on the waveform. If the same audio file is assigned to other sections, ranges of other sections are
shown at the bottom of this area.
NOTE
If you hold down the Shift key when the mouse cursor is on the waveform area, you can perform other operations to the yellow range
by using the mouse. When the cursor is in the range, you can move the range. When the cursor is left or right of the range, you can
change the border of the range.
t
Start time / End time:
Shows the start and end times of the waveform assigned range in the audio file. You can change
it by direct input.
NOTE
If the “Manual” checkbox is not checked, the “Start time” and “End time” will be automatically adjusted to the beat grid closest to the
input value.
