11:06 great opening track man

[@GerenM63]

Thanks, man. I felt like going back to my roots a little and went for piano tonight. Well, that, and it was the only thing that wasn't giving me grief before I went live. I guess things would have worked better if I'd remember to load the mixer preset! LOL! Cheers!

@ Yup, always a thrill a minute!

I use Audio-term and WaveEdit for creating wavetables. Compatible with the Modwave, so most likely with the mPoly.

[@GerenM63]

Pretty much anything that can make a wavetable should work, provided it can make a wavetable that meets the multipoly spec. I was surprised that the multipoly didn't like the 16-bit wavetable, though.

[@GerenM63]

One thing tat WaveEdit does that OSS does not is allow building wavetables from a collection of single-cycle waveforms like you might be able to find for various classic digital synths.

[@SouthShoreSonics]

@@GerenM63 Here is a hint in the manual. Mod (Wavetable Modifier) [None… Gain -6 dB] Each waveform in a Wavetable is stored as a single 32-bit floating-point table with 2048 samples, referred to below as the “base table.” This corresponds to a pitch of about 25 Hz. Tables for higher pitches are generated when the Wavetable is loaded. The Wavetable Modifier options let you change how these tables are generated, creating different sounding variations of the stored data.

@@SouthShoreSonics Darn those manuals! So often having the actual, correct, information! LOL! Thanks! That will definitely help in making better wavetables.

Are there features you absolutely cannot reach on the hardware but are present in the software?

[@GerenM63]

@@digitaldiezel5870 Excellent question. I don’t believe that any function requires the software, with the exception of adding wave tables, and other librarian functions. Using the software is more convenient, though, especially when trying to demonstrate how the synth works, or working with the sequencers. Otherwise, multi/poly is about as user friendly as it can be. Making any adjustment takes you to the associated menu automatically. Holding Shift and moving a control takes you to the menu and shows the current value without making changes.

@ Great to hear! Mine will be arriving tomorrow morning and I’m not using a computer at the moment. Thank you for responding!
