Korg modwave - Importing Wavetables

4. Press Open to select the current directory and save the les.
Exporting as a bundle
To export multiple pieces of data from the modwave to your computer as a bundle:
1. In the Main Window, select the data that you’d like to export.
2. In the File menu, select the Export Bundle… command.
3. Navigate to the location to save the bundle, and enter a name for the le.
4. Press Save to save the bundle le.
Exporting all user data
To export all of your custom data as a single bundle le, without saving the write-protected factory sounds:
1. In the menu, select the Export Bundle of All User Sounds… command.
2. Navigate to the location to save the bundle, and enter a name for the le.
3. Press Save to save the bundle le.
is exports a bundle of all non-write-protected data, for backing up or transferring all of your custom sounds at once.
Importing and exporting Set Lists
Set Lists refer to up to 64 Performances. When you export a Set List, both the Set List and its referenced Performances
are saved together. is makes it easy to transfer groups of sounds between two or more modwaves.

Importing Wavetables
You can import Wavetables in two standard formats. Both formats are specially-prepared .wav les, which contain
up to 64 individual waveforms laid out end-to-end, one immediately aer the other. Each of the waveforms must be
exactly the same length. e two supported formats are:
• 32-bit oating point data, with waveforms exactly 2048 samples long (commonly used by soware synthesizers,
such as Serum)
• 16-bit linear data, with waveforms exactly 256 samples long (commonly used by modular synth hardware)
e main dierence between the two formats is that 2048-sample waveforms allow three more octaves of high
harmonics. In practice, this means that bass notes can be brighter in timbre.
Important: .wav les must be in one of the two supported wavetable formats, as described above. Normal
audio les, such as recordings of instruments, will not be automatically converted into wavetables.
