Description
Split Synthesis (Original Youtube link below) cuts the Bottom half (-1 ... 0) of one waveform and pastes it to the Top half (0 ... 1) of another.
The Top and Bottom waveforms are 12-note, 1D Wavetable Oscillators (from the Gen Book). Naturally, you can load any wav file into them (drag 'n drop to the Top and Bottom half respectively), but properly formatted wavetables should have 1,2,4,8,16 up to 4096 single cycle waveform Frames. Unfortunately, it cannot detect the number of Frames, so you will need to tell it using the upper left menu.
I've added some of the modifications from Electronic Music and Sound Design, Vol 3 and made the Split point adjustable (up/down between -1 ... 1).
