Creating and Transferring Wavetables - Novation Peak

Wavetables are a fantastic tool to expand your sonic horizons.
But sometimes the ones built in the Peak aren't enough.
And how cool would it be to "bake" one of your favorite VST's patch down to a wavetable that you can then play around with inside the Peak ?
This video is based off knowledge shared by ‪@StarskyCarr‬ in a super well made tutorial. I decided to make my own specifically for the Peak/Summit since the workflow is a bit tricky.
Although the video is 25 minutes long it takes only 4-5 minutes to transfer a new wavetable when you're used to it.
Here are the steps to reproduce :
1- Find a patch in any VST that you'd like to create a wavetable for.
2- Automate parameters over a few seconds of this patch playing using a midi clip and a linear envelope(s)
3- The note playing needs to be an F2 detuned by -23ct. This is how we're gonna get the right amount of samples (256) per cycle
4- Record the note and automation using an audio track listening to the VST's track output
5- Send the recorded audio to Audacity
6- Change Audacity's sample rate to 44100 and its time display units to "samples" (bottom left corner)
7- Copy / paste on a new track a small portion of the beginning, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and end of the recording.
8- Analyze how one shape might morph into the next, and use that knowledge to determine the starting position of the waveform selections.
Ideally the selection starts when the waveform crosses the 0dB line.
8.1- Manually enter "256" in the audacity selection box to have exactly the right amount of samples. Ctrl+c to copy, then delete the sample crop, and paste it back in the track to have only your 256 samples selection.
9- Do that for the 5 samples and make sure they're one after another without space in between. Delete the first track.
10- Select the 5 samples by clicking on the first one and manually typing "1280" in the selection length.
11- Go to File - Export - Export Selected Audio , and export as a .wav
12- In Novation Components, after selecting "Manage Peak", in the wavetable editor, create wavetable and then "import" - "Audio File" - select the wav you just created - Import as Wavetable
13- Save your wavetable and send it to a free slot. That's it !

ho mon dieu c'est tellement compliqué pour fabriquer une table d'onde... je pensais juste charger un sample de voix et magie et en fait non il y a tout un process et je m'aperçois qu'en plus je pourrais pas faire un chœur parceque ça reflète pas ce qu'on entend par exemple une table d'onde de piano ben ça ressemble à rien et surtout pas à du piano...

En effet ! J'avais essayé avec ma voix et ce que j'avais obtenu était un peu ... décevant haha Mais il ne faut jamais arrêter d'expérimenter !
