Tech Preview: Hive Wavetables

Have the waveforms loop points at the beginning and end?

Did you already try No?

I tried NO, and now things worked. Edited my post above

Thanks for your assistance

audioterm! ... damn it, now I'm behind in the conversation. carry on.

Glad it works.

Loving the new Curve/Quantize & Polarity controls, really opens up a whole new load of modulation possibilities!

[Delta Sign]

Yeah, they open up quite a few new possibilities

Man, I just tried some basic additive synthesis with the scripting and it's glorious! I don't think I've ever heard something as clean and crystalline before
I think additive synthesis would maybe be a good topic for another .uhm thread! It's maybe easier to understand and to experiment with.

and where is a script!?!?!

hehehe

Not sure if it's possible to convert the wavetables with Waveterm, or another tool, but, you can download the microQ/Q wavetables for Terratec Komplexer here, which are really great (they're also in Largo): http://synth.stromeko.net/sounds/KOMPLE ... tables.zip

This is super basic right now and I definitely need to clean that script up if I'm going to add any more harmonics (the one line approach starts to get a bit messy ), but it does sound quite cool already.

Code: Select all

NumFrames=256
Wave "sin(1*2*pi*phase)+(sin(4*2*pi*phase)*(1-table))+(sin(6*2*pi*phase)*((1-table)^2))+(sin(9*2*pi*phase)*((1-table)^4))+(sin(13*2*pi*phase)*((1-table)^8))+(sin(19*2*pi*phase)*((1-table)^16))+(sin(23*2*pi*phase)*((1-table)^32))+(sin(30*2*pi*phase)*((1-table)^64))"
Normalize base=each

This is just a simple decaying bell tone, but the possibilities are practically endless. I'n not even using envelopes here. And yes, the scripting can even do freaking multistage envelopes with different curve settings for each segment and whatnot

That does sound lovely... so clear and crisp... yet not needing a ton of cpu!!

the possibilities really are endless...

Sounds great. These algorithmic wavetables are amazing.

[Delta Sign]

Yeah, check this out: Additive Bell Test Preset

I'm not sure, but I think the preset should load correctly if you copy the "Delta Sign" folder into the Hive Wavetable folder.
It's just a start of a preset for now, but I at least spend quite a bit of time getting that attack portion right

When you play a not quickly followed by it's fifth (Like a C and then a G), it's almost like there is some kind of strange sympathetic resonance going on, because the harmonics of the sub osc try to line up with the main osc from the previous note. Subtle, but somehow a totally fascinating sound to me

I'm nerding too much again

Also a cool amp envelope attack trick in there, Delta Sign!

[Funkybot's Evil Twin]

Has Urs just trolled everyone?

The masses: "Hey Urs, can we get wavetables in Hive to compete with Serum?"

Urs: "Fine. Here is some wavetable functionality so import your wave files and do your thing...oh, and one more thing: if you're interested, there's this scripting functionality that will create algorithmic wavetables if you can figure it out."

The people who can figure the scripting out: "Forget about the traditional .wav wavetables, these algorithmic ones are where it's at!"

Urs: "That's what I wanted all along!"

I can't quite work out how the "1-table" stuff works, Delta Sign. Could you explain?
