has somebody converted the 16 oldschool dwgs waveforms from the dw8000 into zebra osc?

I'd really like to have these waveforms in Zebra too.
The DW-8000 is one of my favorite synths

Cheers

You can see the waveforms here, if anyone wants to get to it :p

Those types of curvy waves can be very tricky to get right in Zebra's current waveform editor. It's interesting how they chose to put an emphasis on the 3rd harmonic of their square wave (wave 2). Looks like all the waves are rotationally symmetrical as well (no suprise there as memory was expensive).

I'd rather see them in Diva really

I saw a summary of the original DWGS synth and apparently the waveform's phase readout distorts according to the pitch. They're also bandlimited by octave in the wavetable. It would need a full emulation of all this to make it worthwhile IMO, otherwise they're just another bunch of single cycles (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

Yeah, it probably wouldn't really sound like a DW-8000 but it would be interesting to have the waveforms nontheless

Check out the sound demos on this page (There is also a nice pic of the waveforms): http://www.amazona.de/index.php?page=26 ... le_id=1961
Theo makes everything sound awesome though

Edit: Also check out this mod, which adds more waveforms to the DW-8000:
