I need some help in getting these ‘wavetables’ into my DT.
I really don’t understand why there are 256, 512, 1024 categories, and why this has implications for the wavetable generation.
I’ve downloaded the wavetable, and I PRESUME they are in 44.1. This means I need audacity to adjust - which is fine. However, I’ll need to do it for loads of wav files. Why are they all separate? My experience is that wavetables are a long string of waves that are interpolated. The files in the above are all snippets.
Then I have the challenge of converting them en masse. I don’t want to go one-by-one!
Yes - I’ve done all of that those (not the single cycle bit you suggested - I’m not interested in that. I have plenty of those).
The download reveals single files, not a classic wavetable that I’m familiar with.
I have seen the ‘how to convert’ page, and the video. It still does not explain how to covert ‘en masse’. It also does not explain why the 246, 512, etc. makes a difference.
Scannable wavetables are in there. In each folder, look for the largest file that doesn’t have a number tacked on the end.
Didn’t realise the DT could scan wavetables.
For basic 48k <-> 44.1k type stuff, ocenaudio works a treat. Select multiple files, right-click then choose ‘convert sample type…’ then save and close them together too.
Tuning, though.
Wavetables are more concerned with having 2048 samples per cycle than they are being in tune (or 1024 / 512 / 256 depending on your box of tricks - did you see the table?). Synth engines like exponential numbers is why.
Not sure what the best batch processing option is on Mac. There’s a fully-functional free month of TwistedWave if you try the demo.
There are 44.1 and 48 versions. As it says on the page you linked:
48 kHz waveforms are compatible with Elektron Analog Rytm, Digitakt, Model: Samples.
44.1 kHz waveforms are compatible with samplers such as Octatrack.
Reacting to the OP. I don’t have a DT myself. Would be surprised to find out this is something they can do, but the OP seems to want to try something out. Fixed loop length and modulate sample start? Who knows.
yes - that’s what is ‘says’ - but there is no indication of a link, or which format the download is in. The implication is that it is in 44.1, according to the page. Anyway, good news to know that the DT does the transfer automatically!
Hi Garf - this might be clear to you, but all I have is a x.wav of all files. there is no way to tell if it’s 44.1 or 48. I’m inexperienced in this ‘sample language’. How do I tell which wav files are 44.1, and which are 48? The file denomination is not clear.
There are 2x folders in each subfolder. One has 44.1 in its name, the other has 48. Not sure how much clearer it could be. Are you not seeing those folder names?
Well that’s the trouble. I’m not getting any of those folder names. Goes straight from head title, to the synth names, then the sample allocation (256, 512…) then the x.wav files.
I must have downloaded from a weird link. I used the ‘batch download’ from here:
I cannot see 44.1 or 48 allocations in the download
oh, this treat has inspired me to make my own soundwaves… I knew that I could do them in audacity, but it looked complicated… so after seeing this I was searching for a way to create single cycle waveforms (SCW) and found this. Somehow one get more satisfaction by making them oneself. The problem is that the frequency is not being affected when I exported. I solved it by changing the rate with this explanation. Unfortunately I didn’t read the post talking about ocenaudio. That would have been much easier. But now I have 38 self-made SCWs in my Digitakt, all in C²
