@juno6: WTMAKER builds only spectral files for the Terratec Komplexer. For Transwaves:
1. Download and install DOSBOX v0.72 (version number must be 0.72!)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/dosbox/
2. Download Trans - Wave - Term:
http://home.arcor.de/blacktomcat666/allg/twt_demo.zip
3. Unzip to C:\ (it must be C:\ or you have to edit my DOSBOX configuration file)
4. Copy dosbox.conf from C:\twt_demo into your DOSBOX directory and overwrite the existing file.
5. Read the following for a short explanation of the features (manual isn't written yet)
http://home.arcor.de/blacktomcat666/allg/READMEFIRST_E.txt.
The file output is WAV at the moment, because I had to sell my ASR10. But you can convert it with freeware from the internet (EPS DISK). The loop length for each single cycle is 100 samples. Output can be simple (128 sliceswith 100 samples each), with additional interpolation (128 slices + 127 *14 slices = 1906 slices) or with loop optimization (128 samples + 128 * 14 slices, the last 14 slices interpolate to the first slice, what might be useful if a saw lfo controls the transwave).
Let me add that Trans- Wave - Term was intended for my personal use and it isn't finished yet. For example, the interpolation function must corrected. Further plans include 64 Harmonics for better quality, which means I have to rewrite large parts of the software and this will take some time. So don't expect an Axcel Resynthesizer, expect a kind of Kawai K5 with simple sample import (same format as WTMAKER, see above).
Hi Mathias, and thank you very much!!
I was able to make it run on my laptop with Vista 32bit. I have to say it´s the program of my dreams! I´ve always loved PPGs, so working on a UI like this is ultra-cool. The way it shows the wavetable in various ways, and the posibilities of manipulation... is all unbelievable.
I have used various wavetable creation programs in the past, Sounddiver, Soundtower, and various freeware programs for Microwave XT, PC and MW1, and tranzilon, plus others not especifically designed for wavetable creation, for the TS10, but yours is the one I enjoyed more. I couldn´t try it on the TS10 itself yet, as I´m on vacations, but I´ll do that in a week or so.
I still have to fully learn it, but up to now I have a couple of questions and suggestions:
About the slices, AFAIK the Ensoniq samplers can manage 100 or 128 slices max, is that right? the mod index is 100, but I´m not sure if that´s a percentage or the exact number of max slices... is it posible to use the other two output options (interpolate and loop opt), with so many slices on an Ensoniq???
The file name says it´s a demo, there are any restrictions??
Suggestion:
If the number of samples per cycles could be selectable, it´d be easy to make multisamples of each wavetable. I´ve found that on some Ensoniq synths, MR Rack for example, some transwaves are multi-sampled, and they have better lows and highs, as transposition doesn´t affect the timbre much. On one of my favourite synth/samplers, the Korg DSS1, every time you generate a waveform by drawing it with a slider or by additive synthesis, it generate a full multisample with eight samples across the keyboard. It just generates the same waveform but with different samples per cycle. That makes it sound full on all keyboard ranges.
Ich danke dir für deine Grosszügigkeit,
mit vielen herzlichen Grüssen,
