How to make a wavetable synth with wav files?

Post by SampleScience »

Hi guys!

I've been exploring Flowstone for a while now and I'm having this idea in mind about making a wavetable synthesizer based on short looped wav files. I'd like the wav files to be embedded into the plugin itself and have some kind of wave selector (with a drop down menu or with little left/right arrows).

All the examples I've found are based on the default wavetable part that comes with Flowstone and that loads .txt files as waves. It's cool, but it's not what I'm looking for. Is there a way to achieve that? If so, any hints would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Edit: I found something made with Flowstone that has the feature I'm looking for! It's Orkestra by Dubturbo:

The dev used the sample player and added a dialog box to select the wav files. Any idea how I could ad that dialog? Sorry if the question sound silly, I'm totally lost in all the modules available in Flowstone! :?

have a look at this...It might get you going. It uses a "file Loader" made by Pall.

Thanks! It's almost perfect, all I need is a loop function and it would be it! By searching on the forum I've created a Frankenstein project in which the wav file opener and loop function are there. I'm not sure it works though. :lol: Will have to test it out.

Edit: As it turns out, it doesn't work. I tried to replace the Wave Player by a Sample Looper module but for some reason the looped samples doesn't play well even everything is connected as they should. I'll upload an attachement soon...

Finally got it to work, let me know if anyone need the schematic, I'll upload it here. It took me several hours to figure out how to properly modify the sample looper, but I've been able to make a cool rompler with custom embedded wave forms. I'm happy! :)

Hi guys, i was trying to do a positioned wavetable synth reading a .wav file(Like Serum or Massive synths). I have a little math problems... I don't know how wavetable pos works but I have done this project below:

I looked at your project but to be honest I didn't understand anything in it. It's way more complicated than my version of the same concept, but it may be more cpu efficient.
