hi everyone,

had a ram chip go waaaay south on me and had to reinstall my o.s...and
lost that cool little app. the evo wave dump utility.  the link on the
page i've found it on is dead.  does anyone know where this might be
hosted? i really liked that little program quite a bit. i'm running winxp.

thanx in advance,

b.

Just as a tip and to all future people who will lose or need this tool 
and can't find the link,  yahoo groups webpage allows a full search of 
the entire list history.  It's a very nice and powerful tool that I 
think few people utilize.

uh, yeah, i know that. that's how i found the page with the dead link
on it...does anyone know where this utility can be actually downloaded?

thanks - is there any documentation anywhere on how to prepare the one cycle 
samples? I guess they have to be exactly tuned to middle C and then exactly 
128 samples - anything else? Any tips?

Hey Guys,

Sorry I had a bit of an issue with my web hosting service and had to
move our site elsewhere. The Evolver Wave Dump page is now here :

http://daz.korgforums.com/evo_wave_dump.php

... and all the links have been updated.

The links on the DSI page automatically redirect to this new location.

Hope people are finding this tool useful ... was glad to see a mention
of it in this months Keyboard :-)

Daz.

thanks - so I'm gonna sample everything in site!

No point tuning to anything. they need to be a single cycle of a waveform,
128 samples long...

You could always create a blank 128 sample wavefile, and then draw in it?

Hi Richard,

There is some flexibility in the software. If you drop a single cycle
wav file with say 400 samples onto the app it will downsample the
waveform to be 128 samples automatically. The results are not
hi-fidelity as I only use a simple algorithm to do that, however it's
still useable. When this downsampling has taken place you'll see a
little red dot or asterisk on the waveform display.

For creating single cycle waveforms I've found a really app to use on
Windows is the simple waveform editor called EZ-Editor :

http://www.ez-editor.com/

... on their site you'll see there is a feature called Formula
Editing. With that you can create a single wave file with a specified
number of samples based on a formula you enter.

That editor was written by the guys at Zero-X and some of their other
products such as BeatCreator have the same feature too. In Beatcreator
the feature is called Formula Wave Shaper.

http://www.beatcreator.com/

What I have also had some success with is taking a bunch of single
cycle waveforms (I found a bunch someone made from the digital waves
on the Access Virus) and using SoundForge's batch processing mode to
downsample them all to 128 samples.

Finally, IIRC, in the Windows version of the utility, once you've
dropped a wave file on the application you can double click the
waveform (the black and purple bit) and a simple waveform editor comes
up. This is not an official feature, just something I was messing
with. You can draw with the mouse, normalize the waveform, apply a low
filter (to smooth the waveform) and there is an option called
Additive. If you hit Clear and then draw a few little columns on the
waveform window with the mouse representing andthen click Additive it
will create a waveform for you. The position of each column is the
frequency of the harmonic and the height of each column represents the
amount of the fundamental. As I say ... this was just me messing ...
its by no means a powerful waveform creation tool.

For Mac users ... check out Turbo Synth ... a now defunct Digidesign
product I saw mentioned in a mag recently. Google for this "turbosynth
sitx" to find a copy of it. It's Mac OS 9 only, but will run on Mac OS
X in classic mode.

Daz.

Hey guys,

I cant seem to find the Mac OS x version of EZ Editor despite there being one mentioned 
on their website! Has anyone managed to find the link to it? Im desperate to get loads of 
different Wav's into my Osc's... oooo eeerrrr missis! 
Can anyone help?

- Many thanks

- Matt
