Wavetable Overview

The selected waves are marked in blue. The focused wave is marked in orange.

Add New Wave

Allows you to create a new wave of the selected type and insert it into the wavetable to the right of the selected wave.

Remove Wave

Deletes the selected waves.

Note

If you delete all waves from the wavetable, the last sample that was visible in the waveform display is kept, allowing you to restart from scratch.

Duplicate Wave

Duplicates the selected waves.

Insert Wave from Sample

Opens a file dialog where you can load a new sample. This also adds a new wave to the wavetable.

Replace Sample

Allows you to replace all waves of the visible markers in the sample.

Note

If other waves of the same sample are used in other wave sequences, these waves are not replaced.

Solo Focused Wave

Solos the focused wave. This bypasses the position and speed settings, and you hear only the selected wave.

Normalize Mode

When samples are loaded, they are automatically normalized to 0 dB. This facilitates matching the levels of the extracted waves.

If you extract waves from loud and from quiet parts of the sample, the levels of these extracted waves differ. In this case, you can normalize the waves to match their levels with each other.

• Off plays back the waves at their original levels.

• Wave normalizes each wave of the wavetable individually.

• Sequence normalizes the loudest wave in a sequence. The levels of the other waves in this sequence are adjusted accordingly. If the wavetable contains multiple sequences, each sequence is normalized individually.

Note

The original level of the waves in the wavetable remains unaffected. Only the playback is normalized.

Phase Mode

The wavetable envelope applies crossfades between consecutive waves. Depending on the phase of the waves, different amounts of phase cancellation occur during the crossfade. To minimize the effects of phase cancellation, the phases of the waves can be altered during playback.

• If Keep Original Phases is activated, the waves play in their original phase.

  Phase cancellation can occur during the crossfades.

• If Align Phases is activated, the phases of the waves are aligned.

  The effect of phase cancellation is minimized.

• If Reset Phases to Zero is activated, the phase of all harmonics is set to 0 degrees.

  There is no phase cancellation because all harmonics of the waves are in phase. However, the sound quality is less natural, compared to the other modes.

Interpolate Phases

If this button is activated, the wavetable envelope creates crossfades for both the levels and the phases of the waves. This can further minimize the effects of phase cancellation.

Note

• This option is only available for Keep Original Phases and Align Phases.

• This option can introduce pitch modulation.

Pitch Envelope Playback

Allows you to play back the waves with the pitch that is specified by the fundamental frequency for each channel. This way, you can play back a wavetable with the melodic information contained in the original sample, for example. By default, this option is not active, and all waves are played with the pitch of the triggered note.

Context Menu

Select All

Selects all waves in the wavetable.

Select None

Deselects all waves in the wavetable.

Select Sequence

Selects all waves in the current sequence.

Note

In this context, a sequence is defined as a series of consecutive waves from the same sample.

Delete

Deletes the selected waves.

Note

If you delete all waves from a wavetable, the last sample that was visible in the sample display is kept. This allows you to start over if the wavetable was not to your liking.

Cut

Cuts the selected waves to the clipboard.

Copy

Copies the selected waves to the clipboard.

Paste

Pastes the waves from the clipboard at the current position.

Reverse Order

Reverses the order of the selected waves, including their envelope times. This command is only available if multiple waves are selected. If several waves are selected but they have unselected waves in between, the order of the selected waves is changed, whereas the unselected waves remain unaffected.

Init

Allows you to replace a wavetable with a precalculated, mathematically perfect waveform. You can choose from Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square, Pulse 1, Pulse 2, White Noise, or Pink Noise.

White Noise and Pink Noise use the spectrum of white and pink noise to fill the wave with random numbers. You obtain different waves, each time that you select White Noise or Pink Noise.

For multi-channel waves, you can select the waveform for each of the channels.

Replace Sample

Allows you to change the sample that is used by the selected wave.

Load Wavetable

Allows you to load a wavetable.

Save Wavetable

Allows you to save the current wavetable.

Delete Wavetable

Allows you to delete a wavetable.
