Tutorial: how to build a scannable wavetable oscillator

[Taika-Kim]

Since people have been asking for a native wavetable synth, here is instructions how to make one by yourself.

It can glitch a bit, but in those cases just imagine you own a rare 100,000$ 80s digi synth

The outcome is quite dependent on the export settings in Audio-Term, the ones presented are a good balance.

There's also a simple example preset to get you started.

The great thing about this is, that you can now use wavetables from Serum, Komplexer etc.

Great idea!

I put the Example in my Presets folder, I see it in Bitwig browser, but it won't load... have I missed something T-K?

Hmm, it's a sampler device so it should be in the Bitwig Library\Presets\Sampler directory. I forgot to mention that, I will add that to the text.
Also just dragging into the BW window might work.

Which Bitwig version did you use to create this preset? It won't load in v2.2.3?

[Taika-Kim]

Ah, beta5, I should have mentioned that too!

I added a preset for 2.2.3 to the tutorial, and also found out to make the sound glitch in wonderful ways:

after the sound is programmed as normal, lower the Loop End value to somewhere around 50-100ms and let the Loop Start (both in the status field of the Sampler, not the knobs!) stay at zero. I'm not sure what's going on, but I love what I'm hearing

I also think that the Sampler sounds a bit different in 2.3 beta 5 than 2.2.3, I'm not sure if something small is changed. I might have mistaken also... But I think some sounds that played pretty clean in beta5 crackle a bit more in 2.2.3.

Thanks @Taika-Kim!

This is fantastic. I can see myself having a LOT of fun with it.
