Loading wavetables by drag-and-drop takes a long time??

[Orvillain]

When I drag and drop a wav file into the wavetable synth, it takes quite a while to process it into a wavetable. Is there a way to only need to do this once, and then cache the result, or better yet, save the resutl out as a HWT file??

I'm not having much luck with the wavetable creator. In resample mode it just keeps crashing. So I'm looking into other waves to convert my wav files into wavetables.

@Orvillain After dropping the wav file into a Wavetable Synth, use the saveAsHwt() function to turn it into a precomputed HWT.

@dannytaurus You legend, cheers!! Will try it out!

Dohhh.. I was even posting in that thread, haha!

@dannytaurus Hilariously.... they don't sound the same!! The WAV file sounds markedly different to the HWT file here!

@Orvillain To be clear, I was dropping a prepared wavetable WAV into the Wavetable Synth.

I'm not sure about the Wavetable Creator.

Are you dropping a wavetable WAV or just a plain WAV and hoping to make it into an interesting wavetable?

I have no idea how the Wavetable Creator works, or what it's for!

A wavetable wav. It sounds different when it is saved as a HWT. Very odd.

@Orvillain Weird. I'll try it out here again and see if I get the same result.

Is yours a standard mono, 'power of 2' file?
