About CRI Atom Craft

CRI Atom Craft is an audio authoring tool specific to CRI ADX.
This tool allows the user to use wave files tp author interactive sound data that can be used by the ADX runtime.
Atom Craft is built around the timeline concept. It allows the user to place sounds at arbitrary positions on a timeline.
Volume and pitch changes can also be synchronized with the timeline.
The sound data files created with this tool can be played back on the targeted machines using the CRI Atom library.

The main features provided by this tool are:

Loop playback with intros for sound effects and BGM without interruption
Sequence-based playback of various sounds
Limitation of simultaneous polyphony and polyphony priority settings
Use of high-quality, highly compressed proprietary codecs
Bulk control of volume settings by categorization
Various filters such as pitch shift, reverb, delay and echo
Preview linked to game applications
Localization support by rereading waveform files
Multi-platform development support using machine-specific settings
Multi-person development support by linking with version control tools
Visualization of in-game waveform playback status using a profiler
