The program can do so many things — this list is far from complete
Do conversions from the 400+ audio related file formats that it can read, into any of the 260+ formats that it can write.
Read and write the instrument formats of many commercial synthesizers, hardware modules, and software synths —
including formats from AKAI, Ensoniq, Korg, Kurzweil, Roland, Yamaha, Native Instruments, and many more.
High quality conversion can be made between most formats, preserving important synthesis parameters such as envelopes and LFOs.
Read several disk formats that cannot normally be accessed by Windows, including CDs from AKAI S-1000, AKAI S-3000, E-mu Emulator III, Kurzweil, and Roland S-5xx and S-7xx series.
Up to 32-bit floating point data precision for mono and stereo data.
Fully supports SF2 and DLS level 2, as well as a large subset of SFZ v2.
You can also use it as an editor for many other synths — for some, it is the only PC editor.
Data is organized in an easy-to-use three pane layout — with a hierarchical instrument tree to the left, a waveform list in the middle, and a property inspector to the right.
Graphical editors for instrument parameters — e.g. the much-applauded loop editor that lets you easily find the best loops.
Edit parameters for multiple items simultaneously — as quickly and easily as you edit a single item.
Audition, i.e. play & listen to, instruments directly using the PC keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard.
Convert song data between several formats (e.g. MOD-tracker modules into SMF accompanied by custom instruments).
Render your songs into audio clips with superior audio quality using the bult-in software synthesizer.
Convert FM-synthesis instruments into sampled instruments — with support for all major Yamaha DX-series SysEx formats.
The Batch conversion tool makes converting large numbers of audio files extremely simple — including optional effects processing.
Processing functions help you with tasks such as resampling, fading, merging, splitting, normalizing, or searching and replacing text metadata.
The Audio recording function not only records audio, it can also automatically sample any MIDI or VSTi 2.x instrument.
Ok, so what doesn't it do?
It can only do very basic low-level MIDI event editing (look elsewhere for a sequencer).
It won't handle more than 2 audio channels (so no surround sound).
It needs to fit all audio data into memory (but RAM is plentiful today).
It can't transcribe audio recordings into MIDI notes (look for an AI tool for that).

However, a few hardware synthesizers use disk formats and/or file systems that are not compatible with Windows and can not be accessed in a normal manner.
The program can directly read the following formats by communicating directly with the hardware and directly interpreting the file system and/or disk formats:
