(waveform) /wav/, /dot wav/ A sound
format developed by Microsoft
and used extensively in Microsoft Windows
. Conversion tools are available to allow most other operating systems
to play .wav files.
.wav files are also used as the sound source in wavetable

sequencers as add-on audio. That is, pre-recorded .wav files are played back by control commands written in the sequence script.
