Starting with being a beta tester for DUNE2, plus being a user of other synths that can utilise wavetables (such as Serum, Blofeld and Falcon), I have become unhealthily involved in wavetable research. I now have a large database of wavetables and cycles of a ridiculous size! As some of you will know, I have already released many for DUNE2 for free and will continue to do so. I'm currently in the process of converting these to Serum and Blofeld formats.
My question is would you be willing to buy in to such resources?
I have a number of ideas about how to do this, but would prefer to hear what this community thinks/wants.
Best wishes,
Mark
BTW, I've been lucky that a fair few people have donated generously towards my wavetables generation project and these will receive all future wavetables for free.

Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?Had to log back in just to comment on this. I'm kind of split...your Wavetables are absolutely awesome and certainly worth money but personally I'm not a huge fan of single cycle waveforms from any source. They start to all sound "samey" after awhile even when swept. Yes there are differences in the wavs but they become too subtle to me after awhile. Not the fault of the WT designer just the limitation imposed by such short waveforms. But having said that you can never be too rich, too thin, or have enough Wavetables.
Perhaps if DUNE 2 gets a future update that allows more detailed waveforms I'll get excited again. So I guess to sum it up if I were to buy Wavetables I would definitely buy them from you.
Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?I've kept this tab in my browser open for days wanting to give my answer, and not because I have something smart to say, but because perhaps my answer could weigh in on your decision.
Currently, I would have to say no, not because I would never consider buying them. My answer is solely based on my current means and situation. I only have DUNE2, and I wouldn't even have that if I wasn't in the beta team. But... If I had more synths that could use them, and my work actually depended on using those synths, I would definitely invest in new wavetables. I don't know if that helps. I hope it does.

Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?I totally understand Hypna
In other news, I have found some time to work on Wavelet, my wavetable maker for Windows for those that want to roll their own! Now expanded to 8 cycles with performance improvements. It's just going through a process of testing and then I shall release it It will be non-obligatory donationware. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?
Man, this is so awesome! Thanks so much Mark. I've been using this little gem a lot lately and it is so incredibly useful. Adds a whole new dimension to Dune 2, and most importantly, it is fast -- super fast. I can create an awesome wavetable from start to finish in under a minute!! Most excellent!!

Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?
Whoops, can you remind me of what it was again? I have been working on adding FM as a mode, but it still requires a bit of work. I can quickly add some distortion modes from my Expresso plugin.
Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?Rudimentary waveshaping implemented

Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?
I replied. I've added three distortion modes: foldback, saturation and 'power'. If you can think of any others that might be reasonably easy to implement then fire away. I won't be adding filters at this point I'm afraid. Nothing that I could implement could compete with D2's filters
Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?Wave warp now implemented
Edit: and modulo distortion. That's 5 (simultaneous) waveshaping modes altogether now!
Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?Wow, sounds like wavelet is really getting beefed up! That's awesome
I'm new to making wavetables and have been wondering if it were possible to make a noise wavetable for dune 2. Has anybody tried successfully with wavelet? I tried importing a pink noise wave sample into it but the result is no where near it, has me curious why a noise wouldn't work, yet successful with other sounds. Also, am I correct in assume F1 should be the key of the sample that should be imported into wavelet?
Re: Do you or would you buy wavetables?It's not possible to have a single cycle to make noise. The fact that the cycle gets repeated means that you have fixed frequencies, therefore not noise. You can get closer to it with a wavetable where different cycles are snapshots of different 'noisy' cycles, but you would have to modulate wavetable position at quite a high frequency and you'd still have some underlying pitch blending through.
In terms of key, Wavelet doesn't care. You set the offset (start point) of your sample and length and because of the way it loops then it will take on the frequency of the note that you play. This is basically what granular synthesis is. You can get some interesting effects, as I know that you've found, by messing with offset and length. Overall though, if you edit to get what truly is a single cycle from a sample, it will be resampled correctly. And yes, it did just gain a bit more beef
