I've been looking at this one for a while, on paper it seems ideal for making wavetables with my modular synth. But when I tried the demo, it seemed a bit tricky to precisely cut single-cycles out of a larger audio file. Are there some tricks for doing this, or features I missed?

I have found that Vital's wavetable editor is pretty good at detecting pitch and cuttimg cycles appropriately; but if the automatic detection fails then the only alternative I found was typing in the loop length in samples.

I just took a look at some of the tutorial videos. Seems pretty rudimentary to me, and, it also looks like it's difficult to properly draw waveforms in the raster view.

IMO, a tool with waveshaping capabilities, like the ones in Z3TA, would be more handy.

I'll have a look at Zebralette, when it's available in a stable version.

yes, already seen that description, and the webpage. a description isnt user feedback, though.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

Pretty clever/simple, actually. Though I have not used it, yet. May get the pack just to play with this, as I have enjoyed making (literally) thousands of wavetables over the years, and spent easily several thousands of hours blissfully making single cycle waveforms. :love:

This looks like the love-child of KarmaFX meets Nord Modular UI retrofit. 8)

If you're into psytrance, dadda has released 4 or volumes of great wavetables. Lots of FM single cycles, formant sweeps, additive stuff. Much of it can relatively easily made in Serum/Vital/Phase Plant but its certainly nice to just throw a simply squelchy FM thing into Hive and have a decent sound in a few minutes. While his wavetables tilt towards the forest/night time styles, there's enough variety to pretty easily fit them into other edm stuff.

Wavetables sound shit, so TBH whether you use preset wavetable patches or programme wavetable patches from init, they're still all going to sound shit. It's irrefutable and I've already stuck my fingers in my ears so no use arguing. Though now my fingers are in my ears I can't reach my lovely non-wavetable synths to programme anything, you bastards.

I don't think anyone has mentioned these. I haven't actually bought these, partly because I've already got the mark holt/cytospur collection that are in a similar vein, though Keith has gone in a bunch of different directions. So not exactly an answer to the op's actual question but the krc set look interesting: https://www.wavetables.lol/l/wavetables

the morlet wavelets are not unlike those from the ensoniq transwave collection by the sounds of it - maybe because of the windowing function, which ensoniq sorta did on the original transwaves to get clean transitions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS8YQ4bX1fM

^Interesting...

I've been fooling around with some of the free Virus wavetables of late. Some interesting and somewhat iconic material in there: https://www.adamszabo.com/vstplugins/viper/

Thanks for the mention, Gaggle! This collection (which is undoubtedly the largest collection of wavetables anyone has ever assembled) continues to grow and soon I’ll be adding another 5000 or so wavetables based on exploration of formant synthesis. Whether one wants to buy my collection or not, my playlist about KRC Mathwaves would be of interest to anyone curious about wavetable synthesis! Link:

Excellent. This seems to be exactly what I’m looking for.
