SKYLIFE has released the standalone version of WaveRobot 5 that was formerly only available in combination with SampleRobot. WaveRobot is a graphical loop and transient finder. It can render wav and aiff files including loop information and various crossfades. Here's the details direct from SKYLIFE...

Music producers, sound library developers and beat makers work with loops on a daily base. Finding perfect and inaudible loops is a challenging task that can eat up a lot of creative time. This is where WaveRobot kicks in. After loading a sample or beat the Auto-Search function will instantly deliver the five best results for looping the audio file. After export one can use the loop in any other audio application since all edits like auto-gain crossfades are rendered.

There is even a backward-forward loop with 2 crossfades available to loop sounds that alter in level over time. This function can be used to produce cool drones and unheard beats. WaveRobot can also export the loop-only section of a sample making it an ideal partner when creating loop-based content for e.g. Ableton's Live.

WaveRobot offers special graphical features to speed up the workflow. There is a high-speed zoom to sample level, loop and stereo waveform overlay views, markers that snap to zero crossings and a beat and tempo display. When changing loop markers one can lock tempo or the number of beats to see in realtime how changing the loop length will affect tempo and metrum.

Roughly edited samples (even with little background noise) can be truncated precisely with WaveRobot's Auto-Note feature that detects the sound transients and chops off all unwanted silence automatically.
