Wavetables can be extracted from WAV files (Waldorf Microwave, Wave Series)

WALDORF… Wavetables can be extracted from WAV files using emagic sounddiver (used only today! mac: on apples site for some time, pc: used only) . but what kind of sample makes sense? you might select 10 waves to let sounddiver convert the sample (WAV format) to the wavetable spectra , one single wave is simply one sonic spectra. of course you CAN choose up to 60 waves, but it sounds very rough and isn’t worth it! so my recommendation is: use around 10 waves.. depending on the changing of the…

Waldorf Info – Things to remember Part 1 Basics

WALDORF… Ideas & things to remember Basics… how many DSPs are in the XT? One!!!!! IIRC they are the same type used in Kyma, correct?

Vince Clarke verkauft alles.. / Vince selling it all in the UK

Vince verkauft alles.. Vince sells this Studio Building & said about it when building it: I’ve been here for about two years now – my business partner and I decided to build this place while I was writing the demos for ‚Wild!‘ in his studio. I had most of the gear already, from my studio in the UK, and we just moved it over.“ „I quite like the building, although it doesn’t make a lot of difference to me, really.

Ableton Live 7 Features (english)

Version 7 renews the core of Live. Looks very much like Ableton goes „Studio“, no idea if they introduced a new routing system, but there are a lot of updates. to me there’s 2 things missing in most: chase light sequencing and NRPN cascade controllers that can address synths like the andromeda and others.  * The enhanced audio engine improves fidelity with 64-bit mix summing, POW-r dithering, optimized sample-rate conversion and other advances. * The new Compressor device integrates three compression models, one of which is based on a feedback…
