Hello,

I thought that it would be a fun and useful project to make my own wavetables for eurorack module.

I would want to setup envelope / mseg lengths to fit f.ex 2048 frames long wavetable.

I have never made wavetables, any tips?

To clarify, you want to record from Z3 and load into a WT module in eurorack?

Which module, that should tell you more details about which formats they use.

If its def 2048 samples long for a single cycle, The frequency is 21.5332 Hz. This corresponds to F0 detuned by 24 cents at 44.1 kHz.

Thanks for reply,

You understood correctly. disting NT is the module in question.

"The NT resamples to 2048 frames per wave if it can fit that in memory. So the ideal format for the NT is 2048 frames per wave, 16 bit, single concatenated WAV file." This is from Expert Sleepers developer

Cool

So just render a few seconds of the sound you want at the spec I gave you, then in an audio editor, crop out a single cycle with zero crossings and you should be good to go.

Thanks a ton!

I got my first wavetable done and it plays in tune when not modulated. I got a bit steppy modulation when modulated slow and detunes when modulated fast for w/e reason, but atleast I got something set up. I will try to hit 128 * 2048 samples long wavetable recordings.

Maybe first mistake was to record 128*2048 F0 midi note (with Z3 oscillator detuned that 24 cents). Recording is not latency compensated with my settings atm so its shifted forward compared to the midi note.

One of the most useful files Ive ever purchased are the Galbanum 2010 single wave forms , over 10 thousand professionally made wave forms , ive been making a ton of wavetables and MSEGS in Zebralette 3 in preparation for Zebra 3 .

Wowzers! That sounds like a such a metric kilo of fun. What a great idea. It would be awesome if you posted some of them. If i determine where to get more Time i should do the same.
A friend irl recommended them to me. Got the Absynth set first, and he was spot on, it tranfsormed an amazing synth into a monster.
