Description
Simple and fun (and with free 'Frasier' references), Sweeper is a variation of my recent 'Waivy' plug-in, but adapted for use by those people who like to use their own .wavs instead of pre-compiled wavetables.
So Sweeper allows you to use the default wavetable (different to the one in Waivy, of course) or drop your own .wavs onto the waveform display and then select the part of the waveform that looks interesting (and sounds interesting). The separate 'Wave' control allows finer selection, and the 'Sweep' control allows dynamic wavetable sweeps in real-time, as per various synthesizers of the past.
Please note that M4L and Live are a little bit selective in their import of AIFFs, and so only .wavs can be used in this plug-in. (Sound of people converting AIFFs into WAVs...)
Also note that the obvious use: extracting waves from loops, turns out to be somewhat less than as brilliant as I hoped, so don't be disappointed. (Sound of people not converting AIIFs into WAVs...)
[Sweeper is currently only available in a 'dark' version!]
