User Waves and Transients
One of the key features of the Wave synthesizer is the ability to import custom
wavetables and transients, created using third-party tools. This can be done
through the SynthTribe App, which you can connect to your WAVE synthesizer via
USB on your PC or Mac. Once connected, launch the SynthTribe App and navigate
to the Wavetable tab to access the import window.

Loading Files
To import a le, simply click or drag and drop the le at the top of the import
window
(1)
. The app accepts standard uncompressed Mono WAV les. Once loaded,
the le’s information and waveform will be displayed in the wave viewer

You can navigate through the waveform using the navigation slider

Configuring Waveform Samples
Wavetables can have dierent sample lengths per waveform depending on the
export settings of the third-party application. Common lengths include 128, 256,
512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 samples. To ensure full compatibility, the SynthTribe
app automatically down-samples the wavetable to match the Wave synthesizer’s
requirement of 128 samples per waveform, with 64 waves per wavetable.
Use the Number of Samples window
(4)
to adjust the sample count per
waveform based on your wavetable le. This adjustment will immediately
update the waveform display to reect the chosen sample set. If the le contains
more than 64 waves, only the rst 64 will be used, while any remaining slots will
be left empty if fewer waves are present.
For transients, no down-sampling occurs, and the full wavetable memory is
utilized. As a result, the Number of Samples option is disabled, and the entire
transient is displayed in the viewer.
Selecting Destination
You can choose one of three destinations for your wave from the Destination
drop-down menu
(5)
:
• • User Wavetables (locations 64–127)
• • User Transients (locations 32–63)
• • WT / TR Listen Buers
Waves sent to the user wavetable or transient locations will be saved into the
Wave’s no-volatile memory. If either of the Listen Buers is selected then the
wave or transient of the current program will be replaced by three dashes (---)
and the wave will not be saved. This is a useful way of previewing how a user
wave or transient will sound without committing it to memory.
Setting Resolution and Naming
The Resolution window
(6)
gives the option of sending the waveform in 8 or 16
bit form. The Name window
(7)
shows the name of the le that was imported,
with the option to edit in the window.
Sending the Wavetable or Transient
When all the parameters have been set satisfactorily use the Send button
(8)
to
send the le to your chosen destination. This takes around 8 seconds, with the
progress displayed in the app. Once the le has been successfully received the
Wave's OLED display will momentarily show the le name and destination.
Additional Functions
The Flip and Maximize buttons
(9) (10)
provide two extra tools for rening
your waveforms:
• • Flip reverses the wavetable, swapping the order of waves (e.g., wave
0 becomes wave 63). This can be useful when programming sounds,
particularly when sweeping through the table with the ADSR 1 envelope.
• • Maximize normalizes the waveform, scaling all values proportionally to
ensure the highest peak reaches the maximum output level. This is helpful
when the imported wavetable or transient has low audio levels, ensuring
optimal volume without aecting the waveform's shape and dynamics.
