Wavetable Modifiers
Argon8 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
•
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 valuefrom its sign value, where sign is +1
if the wavetable value is positive and -1 if the wavetable value is negative
