ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 45
5.3.1 Waveform Selector and Waveform Selection dialog
Waveform Selector
The Waveform Selector is available for all oscillator modes based on a wavetable. It allows you
to choose the Waveforms for the oscillators in ABSYNTH 5. This is not only the case for the
various oscillators within the Patch Window, but also for all other functions in ABSYNTH 5
using Waveforms as a foundation. For example, you will also find the Waveform Selector in
an identical form in the LFO Window and in the LFO area of the Envelope Window.
A click on the Waveform Selector opens the so-called Waveform Selection dialog. This dialog
essentially contains a list of all available Waveforms:
The Waveform Selection dialog
Using the three buttons above the list, you can switch it between three categories of
Waveforms:
•
Simple Waves are single cycle Waveforms that are read from a wavetable. This relates to
the tiny samples that contain one period of a particular Waveform. In this rubric, next to
the standard forms like
Sine, Triangle, Saw and Square, you also find instrumental and
atonal Waveforms.
•
Morph Waves are Waveforms that use the function Wave Morph (see section 7.5 “Wave
Morph” ). From a technical point of view, Morph Waves are two Waveforms saved in one
unit of data, which seamlessly blend (“morph”) with one another.
•
Library Waves are the Waveforms from the Universal Library of ABSYNTH 5.
