+Sweep is an editor for sound samples. It operates on files of various formats
+such as .wav, .aiff and .au, and has multiple undo/redo levels and filters.
+
+Sweep features:
+ o Loading and saving of PCM encoded sound formats including AIFF, Sun/NeXT AU
+ and WAV.
+ o Multiple views of each sound: you can view different parts of the same sound
+ in different windows simultaneously, with variable zooming in each view. You
+ can view the entire sound at once, or zoom right down to the individual
+ sample values.
+ o Discontinuous selections: you can select regions of a sound with the mouse.
+ By holding down the <Shift> key whilst selecting more regions, each region
+ is added to the total selection. Also, selection boundaries can be moved,
+ and selection regions merged, at any time.
+ o Cut, copy and paste: conventional cut or copy selected regions of a sound,
+ and paste into the same or other sounds.
+ o Multiple undo and redo: all operations are reversible and can be re-applied.
+ o Simple effects filters: normalisation (maximal amplification without
+ degradation) and time reversing of selected regions.
+ o Playback: playback of entire sound, or of selected regions only. Looped
+ playback of entire sound or selected regions. Editing and effects are not
+ disabled during playback, giving you instantaneous feedback of the result of
+ each action.
+ o Piano-style playback: the computer keyboard keys behave like musical keys
+ for playback of instrument samples, so you can hear how the sample will
+ sound when used in a sequencer or tracker.
+ o Separate volume levels per view, which can be adjusted with the mouse wheel
+ if available.
