Managing Wavetables

If the file header does not contain this information, it can be specified manually. This is done
differently for waves that contain one single-cycle wave and waves that contain multiple
single-cycle waves.
Importing Wave Files That Contain One Single-Cycle Wave
1. Load the wave file.
2. On the toolbar, activate Fixed Size.
3. Set Window Size to the number of samples of the single-cycle wave and Window
Crossfade to 0
%.
Importing Wave Files That Contain a Sequence of Single-Cycle Waves
1. Load the wave file.
2. Activate Fixed Size.
3. Set Window Size to the number of samples of the single-cycle wave and Window
Crossfade to 0
%.
4. Set Marker Creation Mode to Equal Distance.
5. Set Number of Markers to the number of waves.
Usually, a readme file or a technical specification that is provided with the wavetable
will give you information about the size of the single-cycle waves. To determine the
number of waves, divide the length of the sample by the size of the single-cycle waves.

Managing Wavetables
The Wavetable Editor allows you to load, save, and delete wavetables.
The wavetable is always stored with the VST preset. However, you can also save the
wavetable to the wavetable library. This allows you to load the wavetable in other presets, for
example.
NOTE
Wavetables do not contain any samples. Instead, each wave contains information on the
spectrum and the envelope.
•
To load, save, and delete wavetables, use the corresponding buttons to the right of the
Envelope and Spectrum tabs.
