Hyperwave vs. WaveEdit
WaveEdit writes WAV banks for the E352 and E370. Hyperwave designs tables in a browser node graph and exports 16-bit WAVs; WaveEdit handles full 64-table bank assembly for the modules. Below: price, platform, export formats, hardware layouts, and who should pick which.

| Tool | Platform | License / price | Interface | Export formats | Hardware layout support | Browser / no install | Batch export |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HyperwaveHyperwave | Web browser; no installation required | Free; no account required for local work | Node-graph generator | Packed mono WAV (IEEE 32-bit float by default, or 16-bit PCM for the classic hardware banks; frames laid end-to-end); live tables span 8–8,192 samples × 8–1,024 frames; collection exports bundle WAVs into a zip (8–16,384 samples × 1–256 frames). | LimitedWrites IEEE float32 WAV by default and offers direct 16-bit PCM export for selected targets, including E352/E370, Piston Honda MK3, modwave's 256-sample mode, and Pro 3. Device presets size each table. Waldorf M raw 8-bit files and Blofeld SysEx packages still require the vendor's tools. | Yes | Yes |

Which one should you use?
Choose WaveEdit if
You own an E352 Cloud Terrarium or E370 Quad VCO and want the free first-party editor for exactly their bank layout.
Choose Hyperwave if
You need tables for synths beyond the E352/E370 layout, or you would rather design on a node graph than in a 2018-era desktop bank editor.
