ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 104
7 Wave Window
In the Wave Window you can manipulate your own waves with one of the Waveform Selectors.
Waveform Selectors can be found in the Oscillator Modules, in the LFOs and in the Waveshaper
Module. You can select existing waves or create new ones through them. They are divided
into three categories:
• SimpleWaves: are monocyclic waveforms, read from a wave table. In principle, they are
tiny samples containing exactly one period of the relevant waveform. Next to the standard
forms Sine, Triangle, Saw and Square you can also nd atonal and instrument-like forms.
•
MorphWaves: are waves using the function Wave Morph (see section 7.5 “Wave Morph”).
Technically speaking they are two waveforms stored in one le that have been “morphed”
together.
• LibraryWaves: are the Factory-waves of the ABSYNTH 5 Universal Library.
7.1 Waveform Page, Spectrum Page, Morph Page
In the Wave Window, the tabs give you access to three pages: Waveform page, Spectrum page
and Morph page. Click on one tab to access the page you want to view.
In the Waveform page you can edit the time component of a waveform, and in the Spectrum
page you can edit its harmonic component. In the Morph page you can merge two waves into
a Morph Wave. You can nd out more on the Morph Wave in section 7.5, “Wave Morph”. All
the tools that we will now describe work in real-time. You can play a sound, edit a waveform
and hear the results immediately.
