How do you do Single Cycle waveforms??

[tconrardy]

I would like to create single cycle waveforms from samples of various synths. The waveforms have to be exactly 1024 samples long and loop perfectly. What is the best process to follow to create nicely looped samples of the highest quality?

If I record at 44kHz, then if I record a note at 43Hz, this should be around 1024 samples long - however due to slight differences of tuning, it may be a few samples out. Perhaps its better to record a lower frequency, or record at a higher sample rate and resample it to the correct rate? Anyway, if anyone has experience doing this, I would be very grateful for advice.

so..how do you create your single cycle waveforms?

Thanks

Use a good wave editor

Use a good wave editor

well..I have wavelab6 and soundforge8

Just wonder how you guys do single cycle waveforms using these editors? Its one thing to do a sample, but single cycle is different.

There was a really good tip over on the vember audio surge forum about this. If you do a search for wavetables you should find it.

Not sure I understand the question - any 1024 samples buffer, filled with anything, will be a perfectly looping single-cycle waveform...

The question is how to sample the waveforms from a variety of synths in this form. I started a separate thread on the dev forum which should clarify things - if not, feel free to post again:
