This has got 4 Random Waves with one mouse click. X/Y pad then morphs through all 4. There's also a Gated Modulater attached, that's controlling the wave size. Hope it's usefull to someone.

Cool stuff! Seems like the XY pad only fades between three waveforms though?

Thanks mate. Your right-there's nothing happening in the bottom left corner. Nice catch.

Cool - parameter randomising is a great idea for getting some inspiration for new sounds.

One other small 'bug' - there are some differences between the array sizes here and there that leave the display with a small zero line at the end of the waveform sometimes. I haven't tested enough yet to see if this becomes part of the actual sound or not, but it should be easy to change the sizes to make them match up.

I've noticed that the OSC array sizes are dynamic.

Check that you got the "Max" knob set all the way. It should modulate the wave all the way to the end. You can use the Max + Min to target a particular section of the wave for modulation. I found another bug, easily fixed. Bugfix: Added a switch that turns the array size back to 256 when the Mod is turned off.

I've done a new version that uses X/faders instead. I'm getting 4 different waves at each point of the X/Y pad now. Although, the mod dosn't sound as sweet in this one.

Edit- In this OSM I've stuck a timer and counter on it, with strings on the otherside to get the output of each count. Builds 10 random waves in one go. Kind of like a production machine. Quickly create lots of waves.

nice stuff. the waveform creator reminds me of one of my creations. with my tool i have created over 1 million TXT files, each with a lot of different float array waves. there is no end....i´ll see if i can find the OSM

philter5 ·

...here is my schematic if you are interested. it´s a little different from yours but i never finished it....

I like it. Works great although I can't get it to save to file- I've set a target folder and run it, with no results. Did I miss something..or philter5 wrote: but i never finished it

Any way, I added a "quick save file" set-up to your OSM. It creates a folder and gives every wave a new name as well. Works fine.

Meanwhile, I've fixed my version up a little. Easier to use, some extra features.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
