Hi,
is there a way to convert .wav-files (one-cycle-waveforms) to the Wave Draw Osc?
I'm looking for a way to reduce the loading time of my synth... so perhaps the solution is to convert the .wav-files into .txt-files readable for the Wave Draw Osc?
Thanks, Dave

There is a converter in the WIKI. Note that it only renders the first 256 or 512 samples of the wavefile. You might need to mod it to render bigger wavetables.

Do you mean this one?

Seems like it's not possible to increase the samples easily by changing the value...
Also there's no way to save the generated wav:(
And what about such "long" waves like in the attachment?
Thanks, Dave

Hey man, Turn your waves into float arrays with array min/max and then they can be text I think? I'll make an .osm if you need it:)

Would be nice! You can use my example .wav-file above.
This would also decrease the filesize of a .dll and the loading time of the plugin i think.

Here is an oscillator by AM. It loads text and wave and also saves them. If you like hook up the float array out of a wavedraw to the replace float array input. Then double click the led and it will open it hopefully. Any problems let me know!
going over things I see this isn't quite what you wanted. I'll check the wavedraw. Anyway, I think the conversions are in it. Sorry, watch this space

Seems like it's not possible to convert .wav-waveforms into .txt-files for the wave draw osc.
The reason is simple: The wave draw oscs needs always a fixed size like 512 or 1024 samples... but all my .wav-files got different sizes/lengths.
This means the wave draw osc must handle .txt-files with different sample-legths too...

You could always open your wavefile in a good audio editor and pitch it so that it has the exact length that you need. eg. 1024 samples.

What you can do also is use the float array resample to change the length of your wavs? I'll include it in the next .osm today. Cheers I'll also see about the wavedraw length it can handle

Here is more what you are after. It's kinda neat coz you can load a wave and then edit with the draw?
Let me know if any probs. I can imagine maybe long waves will slow a system if they're converted to displayed strings anywhere.
