Behringer WAVE - Preset Wavetables and Transients

13 WAVE User Manual
Preset Wavetables and Transients
As mentioned in the introduction the Wave comes with 30 preset wavetables and one preset transient. In addition to this a number of the user dened slots have
wavetables in them from the factory, which can be overwritten if required. The preset wavetables are:
No Name Description
0 Harmonic Bliss This wavetable features pronounced harmonics ranging from 1 to 8, mimicking the behavior of a resonant lter. The waveform corresponding
to wave number 00 is a pure sine wave.
1 Harmonic Bliss2 This wavetable boasts enhanced higher harmonics alongside a dual virtual analog lter (VCF) simulation.
2 Bells Extending the features of the previous wavetables, this one is particularly suited for producing vibes, bells, and tubular bell sounds.
3 WindSweep ResoFlute Oering a sine-to-rectangular sweep and a low-resonance virtual analog lter (VCF) simulation, this wavetable is optimized for creating
clarinet and ute-like tones
4 Churchy Waves 00-47 exhibit progressively escalating high harmonics, each with increasing amplitudes. Waves 47-59 continue this trend at an
accelerated pace. Additionally, this wavetable lends itself well to creating delay eects and evoking the resonance of church bells.
5 Harmonic MixBlend This wavetable accentuates very high harmonics, delivering eects akin to wavetable 016 but with a more blended, mixture-like character.
6 WoodwindSweep ResoVibe Featuring a sine-to-ramp sweep and subtle low-resonance virtual analog lter (VCF) eects, this wavetable is well-suited for generating
woodwind sounds.
7 SylvanSweep ResoWind With a sine-to-ramp sweep and gentle low-resonance virtual analog lter (VCF) eects, this wavetable excels in producing woodwind-
like timbres.
8 PercuStrings This wavetable oers a highpass VCF simulation without resonance. Wave 00 exhibits minimal or absent fundamental frequencies, while
Wave 25 features a maximum amplitude fundamental. Ideal for crafting dark percussive strings and bass tones with click-like attacks.
9 VoxEnsemble Characterized by robust middle-range harmonics, these formants are well-suited for ring modulation and vocal-like textures.
10 Reso Similar to wavetable 9.
11 Chiaroscuro Featuring low formants, this wavetable ranges from dark (Wave 00) to bright (Wave 32) and back to dark (Wave 59).
12 SweepingHigh This wavetable showcases sweeping high formants
13 HarmonicStrike This wavetable features powerful high-order harmonics with a subdued fundamental, perfect for crafting bright percussive keyboard
instrument sounds such as clavichord and harpsichord. Sweeping through the waves creates an amplitude modulation eect, with Wave
00 at maximum amplitude, Wave 24 at minimum amplitude, and Wave 59 back to maximum. For intriguing noise eects, experiment with
signicant detuning and dissonant low chords.
14 OrganicRegisters Oering a variety of organ registers, including Sine, Hammond, Lowery, and Church organ tones.
15 HarmonicSaw Accordionizer Harmonics 2 and 3 transition to a sawtooth sweep, ideal for generating harmonium, accordion, and harmonica-like sounds
16 SweepFrenzy Sweeping this wavetable results in wild amplitude modulation eects, featuring multiple peaks and dips in amplitude.
17 Spectrum Shift Wave 00 presents the fundamental and second harmonic, while Wave 14 features only the fundamental. Wave 40 showcases high harmonics,
and Wave 59 returns to the fundamental alone.
18 Harmonic Sweep Oscillation Sweeping this wavetable yields a high-low-high harmonic sweep eect.
19 ElectricP Waves 00-32 consist of static waveforms with prominent upper harmonics resembling strings, accompanied by a few lower harmonics. Wave
59 lacks a fundamental frequency.
20 Robotic This wavetable facilitates rapid, discrete alterations between low and high harmonics, ideal for achieving sample and hold eects. Wave 00
begins with a sine wave.
21 StrongHrm Transitioning from a sine wave to high-frequency formants.
22 EchoScape Spectrum Tailored for echoing eects, this wavetable oers waveforms ranging from the original attack plus one delay to two colored delays. Wave 00
starts with a sine wave.
23 HighHarmonic Emphasis Prominent high harmonics
24 Organic Ascend Sweep Static organ-like tones. When swept, creates ascending high harmonic sweeps.
25 EchoColor Spectrum Shift Waves 59 to 49 transition from bright to sine wave. Waves 48 to 33 feature a colored delay, while Waves 33 to 18 are sine waves. Waves 17 to
00 incorporate a colored delay echo.
26 BrassForm SawVariants Various iterations of sawtooth waves characterized by robust, bright formants, perfect for brass-like timbres.
27 VoxForm Formant sweeps enable the creation of vocal and choir sounds when controlled by a keyboard.
28 PhaseString Ensemble Sawtooth waves with phasing, ideal for ensemble string sounds.
29 PulseShift Modulation Transitioning from square to rectangular to narrow pulse waves, with sweeps producing pulse-width modulation eects.
