Hi,

is it difficult for a newbie to develop a synth with an own waveform instead of the multi osc?

It totally depends on what you want to do, if you would provide us with more information, we can probably answer your question.

Cheers!

Hi Stefan,

let's say i have a nice saw-waveform from my old C64 and would like to create an OSC with this wavform...

Thanks, Dave

Currently you'd want a sample of it at 256 data points per cycle (which works out to 172.265625 Hz at 44100 Hz sample rate (I think... someone might want to check my math). Then you can use the Wave Table primitives to convert this into an OSC.

Shortly, there will be a version of these where you can use sample sizes other than 256.

See the thread New Wave Draw example.

It's not exactly beginners stuff but it is possible.

    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.
