[RWP] Wavosaur editor, accessible at the number pad

Well, it has its midi configuration dialog, and it hosts VST plugIns, so 
I assume you can play midi plugs on it.
So far, i've opened an MP3 and a .wav file in it, played them by 
pressing the spaceBar, all totally standard, and used its simple pitch 
shift function, whitch offers a field with the number 12; meaning shift 
up by 12 half-steps, and works as expected.
Next time I look at it I'll put a minus sign in front of the 12 and 
learn if that causes it to shift the track's pitch down 1 octave.
There's also a high-precision pitch shift function.
I need to configure its midi to use my eMu PCIE soundcard and its Asio 
driver, which is already seen by Wavosaur.
Without configuration;  it's using my USB soundcard that speech comes 
through, not a bad card itself, capable of 24 bit 96K playing and 
recording, but that $22 card only has unbalanced 3.5mm jacks. so I only 
use it for speech and audio from Winamp and YouTubes.
Maybe today I'll get round to configuring a midi keyboard to go into 
Wavosaur, then try to insert a VST plug; and learn how that goes.
So far, everything I've tried in its menus works as expected, and all 
dialogs speak and respond to clicks from the enter key.
Once you're in a dialog, you can tab and arrow as usual.
In the WorkSpace, I get almost nothing from its screen spoken from the 
tab and arrows, but I can read the screen from NVDA's screen review at 
the numPad.
Try it yourself, no installation, runs wherever you place it, it's free.
