Wavetable waveform view
-
@ustk You can use up to 128 different wavetables for each note. If you're doing this with a sampler the voice count will rise up ridiculously.
-
@Christoph-Hart Ok I see. In my case I need only 4 waveforms, monophonic, so I don't think it is as bad.
-
@Christoph-Hart Oh, and I forgot to mention the user should be able to select whatever wave he needs between this group of 4 dynamically from a browser and even create his own shapes. So I think I better have to stick with a sampler...
Can't help pressing F5 in the forum...

@Matt_SF Thanks, you can do a smooth interpolation from sampler group XFade too, hence my question
oh ok, I'm aware of groupXFading but I never tried it. Guess I'm up for some A/B testing this evening :)
-
@ustk Yeah in this case the sampler is better. Are you creating the samplemap dynamically whenever the user swaps one of the four samples?
-
@Christoph-Hart I haven't worked on it for a while but I reckon I create a sample map with all samples stacked and ready on note 0 (that is forbidden to play), and when selecting 4 samples among the stack, I just move them across the playing range and assign their group
The fact is that the stack is fixed. So I might find a way to load external samples instead and save the sample map so it can be recalled

So I did a quick test and group XFading sounds good. It's still crossfading but the results sound really close with both techniques (with simple waveforms obviously).
Of course for what you want to do, group XFading is the answer.I'll try in my actual project to see which is better.
However, I'm working with single-cycle waveforms and when I put them in the sampler, it makes HISE crash on the first note I play...
I don't know if you're experiencing the same behaviour...@Christoph-Hart should I create a new thread about it ? This is what I got during debug :
JUCE Assertion failure in samplebuffer.cpp:341 ... JUCE Assertion failure in streamingsamplervoice.cpp:222 -
Does the wavetable synth stream from disk or is it all loaded into memory?

In my experience, waveforms with loops of shorter than about 600 samples are likely to crash HISE, even when loaded into memory. But with waveforms that short, a wavetable synthesizer is the tool to go for, rather than a sampler. Seems to handle it easier.
