Accessories
Tonverk implements UHS-I, so there’s no point in choosing higher-spec cards like UHS-II. You should be able to use SD cards of any size as long as the filesystem is exFAT. Our recommendation is to choose a reliable UHS-I card from a known brand, with performance as close as possible to 104 MB/s.

Wavetables
A wavetable is a way for storing multiple waveforms in a normal wav file. For that, the wave file is split into a series of frames of equal length, each frame holds one waveform. Wavefinder supports frames of 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 samples (the internal resolution is allegedly 1024 samples).
The default is 2024 samples per frame, all other frame sizes need to be added as a suffix to the filename as _wt<number>, e.g. Resonant_wt256.wav. If you want to prevent internal upsampling to 1024 samples per frame, you can add R to the filename, like Resonant_wt256R.wav.
Wavetables in Tonverk can have any number of frames, however if the wavetable contains more than 64 frames, Tonefinder will select 64 frams that are evenly spaced across the wavetable.
Wavetables are loaded to RAM from the SD Card, and are accessed via the project’s wavetable pool. Wavetables can be parameter locked.
Wavefinder will read Ableton and Serum Waves without conversion or renaming. Other Wavetables can easily be converted with Kimura Taro’s Batch Converter.
