Lookig for Waveform City / Miniwave binary source material

Lookig for Waveform City / Miniwave binary source material

2007-08-25 by Grant Richter

Dave Hylander made a very nice wavetable expander board for the Miniwave and Waveform 
City.

But there still are not 10 PROMs to go into it.

Anybody have any links to wavefrom repositories or PROM dumps or the like that could be 
converted to Wave256 format? Like DW6000 or DW8000 or that generation of machine? I got 
PROM dumps from the three Roland JD800 waveform PROMs but I can't figure out the 
encoding scheme.

This is not to sell. It is just to swap with people who want to fill up their Hylander boards.

And how come nobody sends me new 256 files so I can play with them? Here I make the least 
expensive abitrary function generator ever, share it with the world via the great John Blacet 
and Bruce Duncan, and nobody shares software with me so I can have some fun. Poooo....

I just put a folder in the groups file section "Binary Waves"  It has 
a zip of about 30 banks of PPG waves, some allophone waves I've been 
playing with, and some that Larry Hendry sent me.

Dave, 

Is there some trick to importing PPG files into the binary waves
format?  If I could, I would love to use my Waldorf Wave as a platform
to create MW wavetables....

Rename the bank you want to work on from a .bin to .256.  Start the 
Wave256 program and open the renamed file.  You'll get a stream 
error, but ignore it.  The wave window will appear to be blank, but 
browse with the bank and wave buttons and the waves will 
display.  Then do a File/Save As to lock it into the .256 
format.    There are 2 banks in each .bin file.  The first bank will 
have 16 waves and the second 14.  After that you can use the move256 
program to assemble the banks.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
