If it hasn’t been mentioned already it’s pretty easy if you have Serum to export the wavetables with a few clicks. You can draw your own and there’s an advanced editor with all sorts of tricks. Sound great in Digitakt - big fan of the Juno tables and FM tables.

Don’t know if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum but will definitely be useful for those looking to explore SCW.
I’ve got the Adventure Kid archive but hoping to make some chains of my own waveforms soon. Looking forward to see what other people are making for their Digitakt.

A chord would technically have to be a multiple cycle waveform… 
Edit:never mind, see below… 
I’ve done a little research, and i’ll make a simple c# app myself soon that will load a single cycle wav, then you enter a chord and it will generate a single cycle chord, ie a wav file that will loop perfectly with the given chord. Sounds like a fun hobby project!

So to make a chord with a scw couldn’t one place three different or same wave forms on three/four different tracks of the dt. Then tune to appropriate note and resample it.
Of course.
hey @SB-SIX, youre still around? havent seen new Videos from you in a while are you getting into some jams again? (except modular) miss your old tunes man

absolutely. thats how i always do it and it works just fine.
Unless there is a tool is available, a chord from a single cycle waveform is easy to make with any audio editor which supports at least two tracks.
Example of a chord with base tone and a perfect fifth (ratio 3/2):
- copy waveform 2 times in a row on track1
- copy waveform 3 times in a row on track2
- stretch content of track2 until it lines up exactly with content of track1
- collapse track1 and track2 into a single track
- enjoy your single cycle chord
@Open_Mike: you are wrong. Technically this classifies as single cycle waveform, because there are no repetitions within the resulting waveform.

I was referring to this and talking about a waveform that contains say the fundamental and the fifth, and having it be as long as where they line up exactly at the end…
Maybe I’m missing something and there’s probably other ways to do it, I can’t think math right now, got popcorn on the brain… 
I’m also “talking” about this.
I think the term loop point has thrown you off course, because you don’t need multiple repetitions of the chord itself in the first place. You only need repetitions of the single notes (like I described also in my post, too).
When they get combined into a chord waveform the repetitions vanishes. It becomes a single cycle waveform without any repetitions in it.
Or the other way around:
The overtones of a single cycle square wave also cycle multiple times within the waveform, but the combined waveform is still called “single cycle”, because the base/lowest frequency only cycles once.
A chord is the same. A base frequency and overtone(s).
Sorry, - the technican in me sometimes goes wild

Ahh, so it’s like they’re overlayed kind of into one waveform and as such looking at it as a new waveform it doesn’t actually repeat because it’s a new waveform and not really multiple ones?
Or something like that?
Exactly!

33 second wavetable capstone series
Hi, yes still here I sold all elektron gear but now recently got a digitakt. Still making lots of tunes, but not many vids indeed. I think my tunes get alot better with some post processing, cutting out some parts, adding things later etc. that doesn’t work on vids. But i’m still starting every track as a live jam. Maybe i’ll record some tunes again soon… But what’s wrong with modular? Would a digitalt + modular vid not be ok?

App is almost done in its most basic form. Loading, playing, looping, and rendering stacked single cycle waveforms is working already, I only need to figure out how to transpose according to user input. I’ll make a console version too so we will be able to batch convert single cycle waveforms into a chord of choice.

Awesome!
Cheers, looking forward to this!
@umonox got the modular virus himself. I have seen him toying around with a Clouds module

That’s not that easy when you are going for high quality. I would suggest using something like the Juce Library which is used in many cross platform audio apps. Then you haven’t to worry about quality and implementation details.
