Free Music Software: Adventure Kid has released a free collection of single-cycle waveforms for wavetable synths, AKWF Waveforms:
I have been making and collecting one cycle waveforms for years. They have been one of my best weapons to use when making sounds.
If you have a wavetable synthesizer that can load single cycle waveforms you might find them useful as well.
If you are familiar with basic subtractive synthesizers you probably know the saw, square, sinus and triangle shape that are the most common shapes a oscillator can produce pretty well. Single cycle waveforms are tiny audio files (.wave) that a synthesizer can read to use as oscillator shapes.
What it means is new sounds. Some kind of grey area between sampling and synthesis. A raw waveform is very rarely what makes a whole sound but you can see it as presets for oscillators. Happy sound designing!
AKWF Waveforms is a free download from the Adventure Kid site.

Those are really good!
Very nice! If I did not have to do some other things I would go and build a user wavetable for my Microwave with them.
Just loaded some into Rapture and must say
they sound very nice. Gonna downlaod the remainder of
the waves and do some exploring.
Thanks Adventure Kid, very generous of you 😉
does it include a stereo fizzoo?
The waveforms are updated!
ya know, RENOISE practically has a built in wavetable synth?
big ups to the Adventure Kid. these waves are great, your work is very much appreciated.
