WaveDigger - Create wavetables from instrument samples

Yo,

I’ve been playing with Tonverk’s Wavefinder and realized that most of the wavetable packs I have are 1% useful stuff and 99% crazy 256-frame, every-frame-is-completely-different, barely morphable filler.

So I decided to take matters into my own hands and make some wavetables from actual instruments. That’s how I ended up building this app.

The app runs 100% in the browser—no backend at all. So once it’s cached, you can even use it offline.

Enjoy!

Don’t hesitate to click “Support me on Ko-fi” in the app :wink:

Made a quick walkthrough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhT58-C_cbU .

Also updated the app with a bunch of features:

  • whole sample HPF for better zero crossings
  • waveform phase alignment
  • volume normalization with a target slope (to ignore high frequency content for wavetables that are to be played heavily lowpassed)

Very cool, the workflow looks great!

Would love to hear some examples of raw input samples vs modulated wavetable output

Hi this looks like a great tool, thanks for creating it!

Can you explain how the original pitch of the sample and the settings in the app interact in terms of the final resulting pitch? Or in other words, if I want it to play C when I hit the C key on my TV, do I just load any sample with that pitch, or do I need to worry about the original sample rate etc.?

Hey, that tool is pretty awesome.

One small idea: make the whole waveform act as play button, that previewing sounds is much faster.

That’s my exact feeling about wavetables so far! I find that stuff useless, so I‘m interested to see what you came up with. Maybe you could leave a few words why one would choose to do this with wavetables instead of multisamples (when we’re talking about Tonverk).
