That is not fair on you or at all what was intended. I’m unfamiliar with Serum and OceanAudio, so don’t know what they do or offer, and indeed, i don’t truly know what the chaining utilities shared on here do - there’s certainly an established one for OT and an adapted one for AR i think. When i make chains, i do them myself using my own tools, which is why i guess i was curious and i just so happened to be having a discussion this morning about dropouts from the OT whilst streaming from CF card, so my thoughts were all in this area !
I have made my own chains for fun and the important aspects i recall were getting the zero crossing point at sample start & end, ensuring the sample length equated to the root note i needed, if preparing for the AR i’d also do it in 48kHz
Here’s a snapshot of the start of one of my chains, it’s full of simple minimal harmonic content, but you get the picture, sample accurate crossings (zero level at phase 0)
But , the aspect that was most obvious in the ones i looked at was the frequent dropouts right in the middle of a low freq part there’s be a sample dropout which introduces clicks
I view this on Wave Editor on Mac, but i prepare (and generate) the content in Max/MSP
I’d done a lot of the groundwork on a true wavetable oscillator project whereby the shape is the important part (rather than the implied frequency content from the sample length) so introducing partials for a given frequency was easy, so building a chain became straightforward. It’s a little project i may have to get round to finishing and see if it’s worth my while to do so
I see you’ve retracted your waveforms, that makes me feel bad, but if you can perhaps have a look inside one to see the dropouts then work back from there to see where the issue lies, it may also be much simpler to audition glitches if the samples are (and are played at) lower frequency
