Poly/Mono Converter
Poly/Mono Converter is computer software that can be used to extract
data from each channel of a poly (interleaved) BWF file recorded by a
TASCAM HS series device. That data can then be converted into mono
BWF files. This software can also combine multiple mono BWF files into a
single poly BWF file.
(After conversion, ordinary WAV files also become BWF files.)
After conversion, these files can be imported into and edited in Pro Tools
and other DAW software. They can also be played back on TASCAM HS
series devices.
Changes could be made to the contents of this document without warning.
