Simpler: cycle through waveforms

[Nokatus]

Simpler's expressive potential would reach new heights if you could drop multiple waveforms on it.

This wish is not about multisample zones, however. It's just about dropping in different waveforms you could choose from on the fly.

If you then had a single automatable control for cycling through the dropped waveforms, you could incorporate a "wave select" envelope in a MIDI clip controlling Simpler. This would allow for some really crazy tempo-synced timbre changes and a bit wavestation-like wave sequence madness quickly controlled and re-sequenced with a single envelope

uhm. Not quite what you're asking, but you can already do wavetable synthesis with the simpler, in a roundabout way. Here's how:

1: create a wavefile that has all the waves you need after each other - preferably all crossfaded into each other to give one long smooth transition
2: set up the loop to be short and crossfading
3: draw a sample position envelope in the clip
-and in live5:
4: drag clip to browser.

Now why didn't I think of that

That's very nice, thanks. I'll try it immediately.
