This might be different for different synth(cause different importing algorithms), but Serum's manual says, that it is best to import wavetables into Serum, that play the note F#0. Don't know why it is like that, but wanted to throw it in as knowledge for others.
This is actually correct! However, it does depend on your project sample rate to get the best results which is why I left that 'standard' out because F#0 is assuming you're using a 48k sample rate. In case you're curious, here's a full recommended list: 44100: F0 48000: Gb/F#0 88200: F1 96000: Gb/F#1 176400: F2 192000: Gb/F#2
48000 Hz / 2048 samples = ~ 23,4375 Hz F#0 is around 23.12 Hz. If you really want to hit the exact wave cycle you can even tune your oscillator to the precise cent value. 2048 because most FFT algorithms (which all wavetable synths use) work faster on a power of two frame size. Anyway: As long as your synth import algorithm is resampling the waveform it doesn't really matter :) I would say , the lower the better.
@@Parawaveaudio-com Why not 192000 / 2048 = 93.75 = F#2 plus 23 cents ?? That's probably the closest you can get. The only question left is, what tempo and loop length I need to make it 256 frames ? :)
@@NaviRetlav It doesn't really matter, you just increased the sample rate times 4. The actual frequency ratios stay the same. Here is a nice online converter www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-centsratio.htm The "Frequency to musical note converter." Enter 23.4375 Hz; What note is this? It's F#0 + 23.25 cents offset. Record in the sample rate you're comfortable with and make sure there are not missing harmonics or unwanted aliasing artifacts when playing it back. Recording the precise amount of tables is another topic and really annoying to set up, since you need fractional BPMs or alternatively set up the recording duration in a sample exact manner.
@@megatron804 I don't think surge has a very good wavetable engine and would not recommend making tables with surge. I might still do mine, cus I have a couple more tricks I use. It will be different
Good stuff as usual 👍🏻 I have a question for surge users, when I do my own wavetables Surge automatically skew the audio file from A to B and don’t stay on one frame. Somebody have an idea how I make it stay on the same frame ? Thx 😊
Awesome tutorial, thanks, will be trying this one out today to create some wavetables for Serum, Pigments, and Dune 3. Cheers from Memphis, and hope you folks had a blast and fun time on your honeymoon :-)
Ayyyyyyyy thanks! Good times for sure. Happy noisemaking! It's really easy and a lot of fun to get some new sounds out of your favorite synths. Don't sleep on the Wavetable editor in Dune as well if you haven't tried it much, outside PhasePlant it's probably one of my favorite editors.
@@VenusTheory Cheers, Cameron, I haven't really played with the Dune WT editor a whole lot yet, but it does look cool and (more importantly) useful. Happy music making to you too :-)
I think it's a great DAW! I don't think any DAW is really better than any other for 'professional' use. Anyone can make a pro track in any DAW as long as they know what they're doing I think. In the end, it's just about finding whatever DAW is best for you and your style and workflow.
Have You tried to import custom wavetables into Falcon? I'm having troubles for creating/importing them: either Falcon doesn't import them at all, or they are imported without any movement, like Falcon is importing one slice many times
Wait I am new to the channel and just wondering but does Cameron actually have a coffee named after him because of his awesome music capabilities or is he named after the coffee? hmm 🤔
Sadly no 😢 But I've been drinking Cameron's coffee since like middle school because obviously it's coffee specifically engineered for Camerons. They also hooked me up once and I did a video making a beat using only their coffee haha.
Hi! Thanks for your great videos. Could you explain how one can create and import such custom wavetables in Falcon? It does not seem to be that easy there. Thanks!
Yo! It's a little bit tricky, but perhaps I could do a video in the future on that. Quick explanation: - Download Surge (surge-synth-team.org/) - Create a wavetable - Drag into Surge - Export from Surge - Find the file, move to your Falcon folder (example on Windows C:\Users\YourName\Documents\UVI\Falcon\User Data\Wavetable) - Add _1024 to the end of the name of the file (example: badass_1024.wav)
this method does not work with Pigments...can you adapt it ? When importing in Pigments, it sounds really bad. Serum too...i tried every importing options. It probably work in Rapid (but i don`t have it).. different resample engine or something. I tried Pigments, Serum and ANA2...sounds bad. Is there a way to make it work in these synts? Thank you.
Yo! Pigments is a little bit tricker. One easy way to make wavetables for Pigments though is to follow this process and import the waveform to Surge (free, download at: surge-synth-team.org/) then export from Surge. Once you do that you can import to Pigments and it should work no problem! As for Serum, make sure to open the wavetable editor and in the formula area enter the note you used (C0 for example) and Serum will then interpret it a lot better. As for anything else, the Surge trick above should help!
@@VenusTheory thank you for looking into this but so far i could not make it work..the Surge method, i mean. I import the wave into it and when i play one note it plays the whole wavetable as if i use Morph slider...it`s like it`s playing the whole wavetable without any modulation applied on Morph. If you are curious about this, just try any Pigments factory wavetable and you`ll see what i mean. Serum and Ana2 factory wavetables work just fine in Surge (but they work just fine in Pigments too so if I would manage to make waves exactly like them i wouldn`t need Surge). So, i don`t know what is the difference between these tables (Pigments ones and ANA2`s or Serum`s) but i would surely like to find out somehow..Thank you.
Enough with the coffee man jeez take a break while you still can. What if you wanted to watch a video and the guy did drugs every time the video started?

Importing the result and creating a new wavetable from it.
Quite the wavetable-ception. We have to go deeper!
That's the super l337x h4x0r trick. Rapid is almost too good.
Sir, you're a gold mine. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Cameron! That was very helpful!
This is a pure gold. I never knew this could be so easy. Thanks!
For sure, figured it'd make for a great video since the process is really immediate to get started with once you know the basics. Happy noisemaking!
To get sounds like that I just record my old radio while operating the tuner feverishly.
Thanks for that - works a treat in Kontakt
Thank you very much, I will try and import these into my Eurorack modules.
Sick my dude I know it's 2 years old but I was about to make a video myself about this. I still may but it's a good job
Thanks!

Have fun!
epic!!!
Good timing. Bitwig just announced Polymer and a wavetable module for The Grid.

Ooooooooooh. Looks like I'll have to grab the beta this weekend if I remember!
Excellent stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏽

I loved it.
extremely helpful
Do you have a video on how to get usable sounds out of wavetables utilizing wavescans? Doesn't matter what synth you use for it.
Love this one! Niceee one dude
Glad to hear it!
The easiest way to create wavetable in my expereicne is just using VPS Avenger.
How you do that?
Not sure why the volume is so low in your videos, but this is really helpful. Short and concise
It shouldn't be, UA-cam normalizes audio so it should be the same as any other video 🤷♀️
Glad the video was helpful!
