Am I right in thinking that if you sweep through a table of, say 10 waves, it would produce completely different sounds to sweeping through a table with the same waves but which are in a different order?

Hehe damn u for asking this. It reminds me of some verbal reasoning test i took when i was 12. Awe.....im no good at this kinda reasoning hehe.

Im still trying to figure it out....

i'd say yes...

infact i'd say the time at which you sweep would play a factor in the difference of the sound created

:roll: Hmmm, Interesting. It sounds as though minor changes in the wavetable can produce big changes in the sound

Sure. When the Index parameter is set to a point in between two waves, the result is a blend between the two, with an exact 50/50 blend when the Index is exactly half-way between them. So, obviously the order in which the waves appear will affect the achievable timbres.

you can make yourself a wavetable patch on your C:

- osc1 to sine, choose a waveshape

- osc2 to sine, choose dif waveshape

- lfo1 to osc1 waveshape

- lfo2 to osc2 waveshape

- lfo3 to osc balance

- some more assigns

its quite rudimentary but its as close as my virusC will get of wavetables )-:

there you go HC - no need to hassle access for any more updates :wink:

Hehehe, just doesn't quite cut the mustard. That's life though I guess. :D

just a little something to add:
lfo 2 to filter 1 and 2 modulationg using sample and hold waveform which is synced to clock.
this creat an extremly wicked digital but warm sound.
add some phaser to creat a bit of movment.

How do wavetables work......

.... ie. how did Access source/record the waves and then integrate them into the wavetables?

I mean, if they recorded a single-cycle waveform, did they have to multisample it to avoid aliasing, etc?

..Or do they convert the waveform into a complex mathematical "vector" or "bezier" type waveform, so they can stretch it or contract it as necessary without loss of quality (similarly how true-type fonts work as opposed to the bitmap fonts of old, in a different application).

Also, do Access intend to provide the facility to edit and upload our own waves to the wavetables?

Nice tricks there Tomer, thanks. I'll give it a try later.
