In order to import a Wavetable into a hardware Wavetable synthesizer, it must be formatted for that synth. Editing multiple Wavetables is a bit of a pain.

Therefore, I have created a script for efficiently editing Wavetables using Octave. This script has the ability to carve the Wavetable into equal length slices and export single cycle waves, as well as the ability to cut the Wavetable to a specified length. This makes importing into hardware synths even easier and allows for more flexible sound creation.

This blog will explain in detail how to use the script.

Let's get started and introduce the script.

Learn how to batch convert Wavetable in Digichain by Brian Barnett.

DigiChain is a WebApp developed by Brian Barnett. It is a very useful tool that mainly allows you to batch convert multiple audio files and create sample chains for Elektron's sampler.

The size of the Wavetable can be converted using DigiChain's pitch conversion feature.

3 Special Digital Oscillator is a collection of samples consisting of chord, unison, and morphing waveforms that are slightly developed from single cycle waveform. By looping the entire waveform, the sample can be treated as an oscillator.

Wave folding is a type of wave shaper that creates complex, harmonically rich waveforms. It is often employed in modular synthesizers and is also used in some FM and Wavetable synthesizers.

When the input amplitude of a waveform exceeds a threshold, it usually clips, but in wave folding, it folds back on itself. This folding action amplifies and distorts the peaks and valleys of the waveform, introducing new harmonic content. As a result, the output waveform becomes more complex and intricate with added harmonic and tonal changes.

Cycle Chord Pack is a sample pack containing single cycle chord waveforms.
Single-cycle code waveforms are created by resynthesizing from single-cycle waveforms.
