Let us put in our own wavetables?

Post by Neuro... No Neuro » Sun Jul 19, 2026 1:51 am

It's understandable that the wavetable synth demands a large amount of CPU. That being said, please let us put in our own wavetables to the spec that the included wavetables use? This should provide not a great amount of CPU gain, if any at all. A great synth not being utilized simply by allowing the end-user to place their own wavetables. We don't need to adjust the settings of the synth, just the wavetables.

You can extend the sonic capabilities of Wavetable’s oscillator section by loading any WAV or AIFF file as a wavetable. To do this, drag and drop a sample from the browser directly onto the wavetable visualization. The choosers and arrow buttons will now reference the folder containing the imported sample, allowing you to quickly audition any other samples in that folder.

Wavetable will automatically process imported samples to reduce unwanted artefacts. Note that you can bypass this processing by activating the Raw mode switch. Raw mode is especially useful when loading files that have been prepared specifically for use as a wavetable. However, it can also be “misused” to create unpredictable, noisy or glitchy sounds.

Oh, Angstrom :) I know that! I've done that for a while.

But, can this preset be transferred to the Move? That is the request I have made, since we're in the 'Move' portion of the forum. The capability to transfer one's own Wavetable presets from Ableton to Move. Currently, we can only transfer custom Drift and Drum Rack presets.

Thanks for your help, though.
