thanks to jupiter8 for the converting tool, i used the Java version for these

http://www.box.net/shared/m181dcia5f

havent actually had time to try them myself, im just keen to share

as far as i am aware, they are genuine raw osc samples from hardware synths (edited by myself into single cycle waves)

hopefully more to follow.

Thank you!!

they sound good

but i'm having trouble selecting them,

the first one i select loads fine, then when i select another it dose nothing sound wise, the image of the osc changes but the sound dose not,

i have to change the settings to GeoMorph, then pick the next preset for me to hear the newly selected osc,

any one else?

This tool is just great. Single cycles sampled from analogue synths create some really nice results.

Thanks for OSC files Kriminal.

@Subz yes I've been having the same problem with the most recent version of Zebra.

Peace,
Andy.

Yeah same here - and some appear to have obvious spikes that I'm guessing shouldn't be there. Also most of the waveforms need maximising/normalising, as there amplitude is very low.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything, thanks for the hard work and for sharing Kriminal.

Out of interest would it be possible to put different analog single cycles in each slot of a waveset so that we could, for example, replicate pwm sweeps?

yes, you can load 16 diff waveforms

no probs, i had spikes in old version of convertor, but j8 said it was fixed, and i didnt actually check

these waves are a by product of something else im working on, so im not really giving them my full attention. When ive finished the other stuff i'll come back to these and get a full set of osc out that have been 'sorted'

i see, you're on the Germans again

... thank you very much!

Yes you can load individual cycles in to each of the 16 cells in the converter and output that to an oscillator file that contains the morphed data. That is the general idea I am working towards at the moment, but I want to fine tune my results first.

It's a little tedious cutting out 16 waveform cycles precisely and then loading them in to each cell but we can't have everything can we?

Peace,
Andy.

Same here. For me it's a long-standing bug in Zebra and reported it in another thread several months ago. Maybe Urs has overlooked it. The sound will also get right when you change the "Normalize" setting a little.

I just wanted to add that if you get odd spikes you can open the .h2p file as a regular textfile (that's what they are) and look at them. You'll see something like
Wave[0] = 0.06338501;
Wave[1] = 0.37474942;
Wave[2] = 0.36991692;
Wave[3] = 0.37043953;
etc.

If any of those values is in scientific notation for example 0.347E-004
then it is a bug in Wav2Zebra2. I thought i had squashed them but i could be mistaken. I had a computer die on me so i'm not completely sure which source code is up to date and which is not plus i never learned to use a Revision Control System which i probably should at some point.

And i also think you should normalize the waves first before you convert them.

will do, but as i said, these are a by product of another project, so when i have time i will.
