WaveSurgeon is a breakbeat (drum loop) tool, designed to automate the process of editing samples. WaveSurgeon automatically detects segments and loop points within a sample.

WaveSurgeon features a full range of editing tools. These include the ability to add, move, disable / enable and lock / unlock points, and silence/ reverse segments. There is also full windows clipboard support, allowing the user to copy and paste segments around within the sample. Export of a sample via the clipboard to a dedicated sample editing program is also possible, allowing external processing before being pasted back into WaveSurgeon.
