Wavetable Modifiers
ARGON8X has 32 static wavetable modifiers that can be applied to both Wavetables
independently. These are applied offline and effectively redraw the waveforms by applying a
process to them. Available modifications are:
• Derez 1: Applies a sample rate reduction effect to the wavetable
• Derez 2: Applies slightly more sample rate reduction
• Derez 3: Applies the most sample rate reduction out of the 3 different types
• Crush 1: Reduces the bit depth of the wavetables
• Crush 2: Further reduces the bit-depth of the wavetables
• Resample 1: Applies a naïve down-sampling algorithm, reducing the amount of detail in
the waveforms
• Resample 2: Applies slightly more down-sampling
• Resample 3: Applies the highest amount of down-sampling
• Simplify 1: Reduces the amount of high frequency partials in the wavetables
• Simplify 2: Reduces more high frequency partials than Simplify 1
• Dual Rectified 1: Alternates between a fully rectified version of the signal played back
at a faster rate and a zero value for the first half of the waveform and then mirrors the
response for the second half
• Dual Rectified 2: Alternates between a fully rectified version of the signal played back at
a faster rate and a zero value for the first half of the waveform and inverts the phase of
the first half for the second half of the wave.
• Triangle Fold: Boosts the amplitude of the waveform and wraps back around whenever
the signal would clip with a triangular curve
• Sine Fold Hybrid: Boosts the amplitude of the waveform and wraps around whenever
the signal would clip with a sinusoidal curve, with some additional wave-shaping applied
• Shaper 1: Applies an amplitude wave-shaping algorithm to the wavetables
• Shaper 2: Applies a different variation of wave-shaping effect
• Shaper 3: Applies another different wave-shaping effect
Wavetable Modifiers
• Cubic Phaseshaper: cubes the read curve of the wavetable creating a different variation
of its shape
• Scrunch Phaseshaper: reads through different portions of the wavetable at varying rates
• Half Sine Phaseshaper: reads through the wavetableusing a half of a sine wave
• Rise Over Run Phaseshaper: reads through half of the wavetable at a slower rate then
originally stored and then reads through the other half faster
• Rubber: Plays through the wavetable shape several times at varying rates and stores
them into a single wavetable
• Window Amp Sync: modulates the amplitude of the wavetable with a half sine window
that is played 4.5 * faster than the fundamental
• Resonance Sync: Uses a half wave rectified version of the wavetable (that only keeps the
positive values of the signal) to modulate the amplitude of a sine wave playing back at
8.5 * the fundamental
• Half Rectified: Applies half wave rectification to the wavetable, keeping only the positive
values of the signal
• Half Rectified Inverted: Applies half wave rectification to the wavetable, keeping only
the negative values of the signal
• Shaped RM: Applies a wave shaped variation of ring modulation to the wavetable, using
a sine wave playing back at 2.5 * the fundamental as the modulator signal
• Symmetrical Signs: all values in the first half of the waveform are set to positive, whilst
all values in the second half are set to be negative.
• Mirror: Plays through the waveform twice but mirrors the result for the second half of
the wave
• Half Reverse: Alters the playing direction of various parts of the wavetable at different
positions
• Digital Wrap: Boosts the amplitude of the wavetable and whenever it passes the
maximum range the value jumps to a different polarity.
• Sign Subtract: Subtracts the current wavetable value from its sign value, where sign is
+1 if the wavetable value is positive and -1 if the wavetable value is negative
