How to : set [LOOP] to on, SAMPLE LENGTH to 1
choose your sound with SAMPLE START (from 0 to 119)
Yes, there is a definite randomness to it as that’s the nature of s&h but the results are relatively as expected: the start position jumps around the wav, changing the osc shape to random cycles rhythmically but always in key.
Do you know if these waves have been retuned to C? The original AKWF set is in D according to the website. I have an Octatrack friendly set all tuned to C but each chain is 64 slices so not very flexible for M:S.
Edit: Just checked and they are in the original format D.
Just a note to all to beware of some of the re-tuned versions out there. A comparison of a given wave vs the original AKWF sometimes shows that some artifacts were introduced into the re-tuned version (ie, the two versions do not have identical waveshapes). They still sound fine, since the start and end points align, but they may have a different timbre than the original. IIRC, some but not all, of the re-tuned waves show these artifacts.
Not sure, it’s been years since I compared them. I think Inspektor Gadjet did have the artifacts, but it’s possible new versions were uploaded too. I seem to remember seeing it in one or more of the waves in the “simple (or was it “pure”?) waves” folder - these are easy to confirm since you know exactly what a sine, saw, square, etc should look like.
