Here’s something I’ve been working on:
I’ve combed through all AK waveforms and made a few sets of 16, in four octaves. this way you can circumvent the OT’s pitching limitations, but still go further down with Rate.
Hope this is useful - would love some feedback 
It may well be, and it is probably taken care of with the accompanying OT file
however, forgive me, this may only say something about my expectation
but when you described offering single cycle waveforms in four octaves I expected that you’d have
1 cycle at C1
2 cycles at C2
4 cycles at C3
8 cycles at C4
this would then be repeated for 4 different shapes
either like
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 4 8 8 8 8
or
1 2 4 8 1 2 4 8 1 2 4 8 1 2 4 8
that way irrespective of how you slice it it would be consistent lengths for every unique profile
maybe I’m missing the point and presuming the OT file takes care of the irregular slice points, this may be a pointless aside … I can see the advantage of capturing a few more than 1 cycle for a given octave, but i’d still suggest it would be sensible to have a sample accurate file where the successive octaves use twice the preceding one’s number of cycles … i.e. 3 6 12 24 e.g.
looking at a few of these in an editor it’s clearly not sliced linearly
anyway, just a comment to promote thought, happy to be advised of your thinking on this
but it’s a good strategy to include multiple octave waves IMHO 
thanks! those are valid points concerning the mutliples for consistent lengths, especially when considering other devices. I may do that for future waveforms 
The included OT file handles the slice points though, so no need to do slice grids (compiled the sets with OctaChainer).
The reason why I did this was a mild frustration with the waveform chains by InspektorGadjet – i couldn’t get higher pitches without cutting the wave in half via LEN… which changed the tonal characteristics too. I then pitched the bw_saw chain up one octave and used that for a while… still not perfect.
Also I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of different waveforms. I then thought back to the MicroKorg I owned a few years back, and how it had just a handful of PCM waves which where totally sufficient.
So I decided to sort out the waves I liked the most and put them into collections which are more manageable for me. In order to get the higher octaves I re-pitched the AK waveforms using zynaptiq ZTX, sounded a bit nicer than a simple sample rate modification… so these are not true four octave waveforms, but rather an interpolated solution.
After jamming with the results yesterday I thought it would be good to share it here, especially since the Files are back!
Going to take these for a spin tonight, thanks!
great, let me know how it worked out
also, try p-locking the slices +16 to have minilogue-style octave jumps.
Hi
I was curious, is it possible to get a really fat bass sounds with single cycle waveforms ?
I have been experimenting with looping each wave and playing…so the only way I think is by layering them on each track?
any other way ?
For bass sound, I found that the click that happens by shortening a perfect cycle wave loop can sound good.
In other terms, if the levels of start and end point of the loop of the single cycle waveform don’t match exactly, you get a click with which you can play to obtain fatter bass…
Layering can be good as well, but I found that if you add too much dirt (= different signals) the bass looses some power.
definitely possible, try out the different waveforms – some have more bass content, some less.
how do you define fat bass? the advantage of not layering is the precision – if you have two oscillators beating against each other they will phase out each others bass content sometimes.
try one of the squares, filter them down or some from the pure set – great sub bass. it also helps to add a bit of filter distortion!
Sorry for hijacking the thread Stark…
Mmm not a fat bass …but for example the bass in Gesaffesltein Pursuit…I just love the sound of this sequenced bass line. As I understand…If we just use the waveform…what gives it the character sound? The filter of the Octatrack ? Like in a synth you have the famous Moog filter or Steiner Parker in Arturia Microbrute…I am bit confused…
you’ll have to be satisfied with the Octatrack Filter. try one of the DIGI waves or SQUARE, turn the filter down and adjust the env amount and decay? Turn up DIST in the menu, afterwards maybe some Bitcrushing with the LOFI module?
It will not sound like a moog, that’s for sure. but wasn’t the Octatrack filter straight from the mono machine?
also, in pursuit there are two layers… the guitar like one on top (sounds like running through a guitar amp and some chorus and phaser) and then the supporting bassline.
there is no amps im on 
, but you can try something like this:
SL7 of WF_edge
Chorus: 25/60/45/80/127/127
Filter: 60/20/20/20/0/40 + DIST 50
for the top part
SL11 of WF_basic
Filter: 0/60/0/35/0/35 + DIST 45
for the extra bass layer
P-Lock the pitches of -3 and 0 on 16ths and you have the Pursuit pattern. The sound is not the same, but similar dirty territory.
SL7 of WF_edge = WaveForm ? Slice 7 ? From your pack ?
yes. Link’s in the first post.
