wavetables are like samples on steroids I guess

BIG UMAMI BOMBS VOL II IS FINALLY HERE: https://www.bigumami.com/product/big-... join my discord:   / discord   alright, so I’m only 10 years late to this, but wavetable synths are awesome. they allow you to basically scroll through a number of waveforms and this keeps the sound always evolving, nice and fresh. you can, of course, draw your own waveforms, or import wavetables from different sources, BUT, up until recently, I hadn’t realised that you could actually import SAMPLES as well. and, well, you know me, I love samples, and I love samplers. there are some best practices to import samples of course, but I do like to live dangerously, and I personally break this rule quite often. If I find a sound of any kind that I like, I just import it, and play around with it, and see what makes sense. maybe it only works in a very specific range of the wavetable, maybe it only works on a specific single wave. You have to trust your ears. and a tuner. a tuner helps actually.
