Microfreak/UG/14 Config/02 MIDI Control Center/02 Wavetables Tab/01 Management

• 14.2.2.1 Wavetable Management

  • The buttons above the computer and MicroFreak panes move and manage wavetables.
  • Wavetable management buttons
    • 
  • New Bank creates an empty bank on the computer and prompts for its name. Drag a wavetable over the new bank's name to add it; banks can combine wavetables from other banks.
  • New Bank name prompt
    • 
  • Del Bank deletes a bank after confirmation. Factory banks cannot be deleted.
  • Import opens three choices:
    • Replace Wavetable (.mfw) replaces the selected wavetable with a MicroFreak Wavetable file.
    • Replace Wavetable (.wav/.aiff) replaces it with a WAV or AIFF audio file.
    • Import New Bank imports an MFWB bank into the computer pane.
  • Import choices
    • 
  • When importing WAV or AIFF audio, MicroFreak converts it into an MFW wavetable of 32 cycles, each 2,048 samples long:
    • Each group of 2,048 source samples counts as a cycle.
    • The source's first and last cycles become cycles 1 and 32.
    • With more than eight source cycles, MicroFreak distributes them evenly across the wavetable and crossfades between them.
    • With fewer than eight source cycles, it spreads them across the slots so the Wave knob can reach every cycle.
  • An audio file can therefore become a usable wavetable without manually preparing each cycle.
  • Export saves a selected wavetable as MFW or a selected bank as MFWB. Choose a location in the system save dialog.
  • Export choices
    • 
  • Delete removes a selected wavetable after confirmation and replaces it with an init wavetable that morphs between simple waveforms.
  • Delete confirmation
    • 
  • Send to MicroFreak transfers the bank assembled in the computer pane to the MicroFreak for the User Wavetable oscillator.

  • Note/Warning This overwrites every wavetable in the MicroFreak. Do not turn its knobs while the transfer progress bar is visible.
    

  • Wavetable transfer progress
    • 
  • Recall to Computer copies the MicroFreak's current wavetables into a new bank in the computer pane. The bank initially has a date-and-time name, which you can change in the Bank Name field.
