Wavetable Editor

Wavetable Editor
The Wavetable Editor allows you to create wavetables by extracting waves from samples.
The Osc 1 and Osc 2 tabs in the top section of the Wavetable Editor allow you to switch
between the settings for the two oscillators.
The Wavetable Editor contains a sample display, a Spectrum tab, and an Envelope tab. At
the bottom of the window, an overview of the wavetable that contains the extracted waves is
displayed.
The file path and name of the sample are displayed above the sample display. If more than
one sample is loaded, the file path serves as a menu to select the sample to edit and display.
If you select a sample, the waves that belong to it are selected in the wavetable.
The order of the waves in the wavetable determines how the sound evolves when you
modulate the position, either automatically with the Speed parameter or manually in the
modulation matrix.
3D Map and 2D Wave Tabs
Show 2D Wave
Displays a single cycle of the current waveform. The shape of the waveform
changes as the sound evolves, reflecting the waveform at the current position
in the wavetable. If Multi-Oscillator is activated in the Wavetable section of the
Zone Editor, the view displays the waveform of the individual oscillators.
Show 3D Wavetable Map
Displays a topographic map of the entire wavetable. The current position in the
wavetable is indicated by a line. If Multi-Oscillator is activated in the Wavetable
section of the Zone Editor, the view indicates the position of the individual
oscillators.
• To change the viewing angle, drag the 3D map.
