Description

Not a standard synthesizer, this SOUND GENERATOR uses wavetables to make sound effects, and does not respond to MIDI note inputs. You may want to add a bit of spatialisation with echo or reverb.

To use it, select a wavetable, experiment with the Frequency and Shift controls, then the Range. Once you have a basic sound, then try the LFOs to modulate various aspects of the sound. The LFOs have their own FM section (the smaller controls) so they are much more versatile than they appear. All the LFO modulation uses sine waves in this version, but the wavetable scanning is now switchable between sine and linear, forwards and reverse...

You can now drag and drop .WAV files into the waveform display. These should have a maximum length of 2 seconds... The wavetable will appear as 'Table W' and is not saved in the effect in this version.

(Previous posts with M4L that contain lots of associated files (like Waverne) have proved problematic for some people, so if you don't get any sound, then let me know...)
