You can create wavetables for Falcon by loading multi-channel wave files into the wave table oscillator. So if you have three single-cycle waveforms of the same length, and put them on separates channels in an audio file, Falcon will load it as a 3-part wavetable and interpolate between the waveforms. Pretty neat.

FALCON or HALION 6 ?

Thank you! This is very helpful!Sampleconstruct wrote:If you drop a sample into Falcon's wavetable player it will only extract a single cycle waveform from the beginning of the sample, it will not create a wavetable, but you can use images to create wavetables which is a nice feature. Falcon does not have a wavetable editor nor does it have a re-synthesis function so you will have to use something like Serum or Waveedit to create wavetables which you can then import into Falcon. Falcon has various phase distortion modes to warp/morph the sound of a wavetable, HALion doesn't have that, it only has a formant parameter.Brother Greg wrote:Question: Can anyone speak to their experience of editing samples and using them to create wavetables in Falcon vs. Halion 6?
I've been working with a demo of Halion 6, and I like the ease of importing samples, editing them, and lining them up as a sequence in a wavetable to create an evolving atmosphere. I get the sense that this is more difficult to do in Falcon because you have to be very specific about how many cycles are allowed for any imported sample, and that this may affect how many samples you can line up for a wavetable sequence. Plus, I'm not clear about Falcon's sample-editing capabilities. Thanks for any help with this.
HALion has a very good re-synthesis algorithm which will let you create wavetables from samples via drag and drop, you can also combine several samples into one wavetable, determine from which segment of a given sample a waveform will be extracted and it has a very capable waveform editor in which you manipulate the partials and phases of each waveform of a wavetable. Or you can simply draw waveforms and combine them to make a wavetable.
