Waldorf Blofeld adventures Wavetables in the Waldorf Blofeld Waldorf Blofelds blessed with recent firmware have the capability to load user wavetables (with sysex MIDI messages). Each wavetable consists of 64 waves, each with 128 21-bit signed samples.
I like to imagine that as a table (2D matrix) with 64 lines (waves) and 128 columns (samples). The instrument's oscillator will select one of the 64 waves (or actually, I think, interpolate betweeen two adjacent 'lines') based on its PWM setting at that exact moment.
Then it will interpolate audio samples (of whatever size is used internally) using the 128 waveform samples. You can think of it as the oscillator scanning a two-dimensional table; traveling left-to-right at a speed depending on the current key (and tuning and modulation and octave setting and) and traveling up and down depending on the wavetable startpoint plus any PWM modulation.
By Musicmandisco If this thing was packed in a metal box with knobs, you would pay BANK for something as special as Nave. Wonderful sounding, bursting with creative potential. There's a lot to take in but after a few hours you will be creating crazy, lush, chaotic, brutal, hypnotic works of art. There are some stability bugs I've noticed using my 3rd gen iPad on iOS 7.0 so save often.
Pulling up menu items can seem unresponsive at times. Bugs I'm sure will be resolved in future updates. This synth sits right up there with Animoog, Thor, and Magellan. Thank you Waldorf!!!!

Update 2016- still blows me away that this app completely destroys hardware synths. Keep up the good work Waldorf! By AshFallenBrightly I am on iOS 9.0.2 on iPad Air II 128 This update has not offered any issues that I have noticed.
THE SOUND is inspiring, Angelic, Beautiful, & rivals SO many hardware synths - I do Ethereal Ambient music & Nave fits the bill better than most. I LOVE THIS SYNTH!!!! The UI is GORGEOUS & intuitive, & programming is not too hard. I can not possibly recommend this synth enough - Just get it. You Will Not be disappointed - & if you are pfffff - this has GOT TO BE the sweetest iOS synth out there with Animoog possibly 2nd place.
By Goldenanalog IMHO: Nave is the best iOS synthesizer currently available as of November 2015 - it easily sounds as good as a lot of high-end soft synths that run exclusively on our pc/Mac's - Having said that: Waldorf? Are you listening? Ok: I run Nave exclusively on both an Air 1 & 2 - Why is the polyphony HALF on my Air 2 versus my Air 1? Needless to say, I've done a fair amount of testing to confirm this: the Air 1 gives you 24 voices, whereas the Air 2 halves that to 12 - iOS 9.1 using a Tascam iur2 interface (yes it is compatible, using the iPads Lightning port and externally powering the box with a configured y cable and usb power pack).
Here’s a set of custom wavetables created for the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. Parts of samples have been extracted and re-synthesized in the brilliant Audio-Term software in order to create wavetables for the Blofeld. The source material for the samples are mostly field recordings – I’ve sampled birds, the cat, a coyote, people eating, laughing, bubbles, the museum of technology, band rehearsals, farting, talking, outtakes from movies, instruments (guitar, sitar and a Juno), urination, eating of vegetables, kitchen utensils, water, Vashti Bunyan – and so forth.
To load them into your Blofeld, you can do the following; 1) Unzip the wavetable archive 2) Download and install MIDIOx. 3) Plug your Blofeld to your computer using USB or MIDI. 4) Open MIDIOx - Options – MIDI Devices - MIDI Outports – Blofeld 5) Click “Send a system exclusive file to MIDI Out port” – second icon from the left in MIDIOx. 6) Send the files one by one to your Blofeld Please note – upload these wavetables at your own risk. This process worked just fine with my old Blofeld (with the latest OS installed) though, so I imagine it should work just fine.

The unofficial Waldorf WAVE pages Wavetables I sampled the wavetables of the WAVE and did a FFT to show the harmonic content. Wavetables 01 to 30 are the original ones of the PPG waves. They were numbered 00 to 29 on the PPGs.
PPG wavetable #30 were a special one called 'Upper Wavetable'. #31 Was some kind of a sample wavetable (including a sax and a piano). These wavetable are not implemented on the Waldorf synths (except for the PPG wave 2.V VST Plug-In). The other Waldorf wavetable synths as microwave, microwave2, XT and XTK would have shown the same results. No filtering was used. The amplitude is not shown linear.
As compared to Adobe Acrobat Reader, this one is better and it has a small size. Nitro Pro 11 for Windows is straightforward the application and offers you to repurpose PDF-based files with higher accuracy. Serial number for nitro pdf for mac. You can read books in this application. You can easily merge files into a single PDF file.
The frequency axis (x) is linear scaled as on most FFT charts and starts at 88 Hz and goes up to a little bit more than 22 kHz. On the left are the deeper frequencies. In the front are the lower wave numbers. The area is getting higher and darker on stronger frequency bands. # 01 # 02 # 03 # 04 # 05 # 06 # 07 # 08 # 09 # 10 # 11 # 12 # 13 # 14 # 15 # 16 # 17 # 18 # 19 # 20 # 21 # 22 # 23 # 24 # 25 # 26 # 27 # 28 # 29 # 30 # 31 # 32 # 33 # 34 # 35 # 36 # 37 # 38 # 39 # 40 # 41 # 42 # 43 # 44 # 45 # 46 # 47 # 48 # 49 # 50 # 51 # 52 # 53 # 54 # 55 # 56 # 57 # 58 # 59 # 60 # 61 # 62 # 63 # 64 The wavetable names were added into the full sized pics by Bodo Koktanek.

Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave Synthesizer, which no doubt is considered one of the most respected high-end synthesizers of the 80s. Developed by Wolfgang Palm, this instrument is featured on countless records, and it inspired a whole generation of producers, composers and listeners. While back then it was your choice to spent your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, the new PPG Wave 3.V renders this breathtaking sonic character very affordable, comfortably to use for every VST or AU Host. PPG Wave 2 was the very first digital Wavetable synthesizer with analog filters that allowed completely new worlds of sound and endless sonic possibilities. Shortly afterwards, the successor PPG Wave 2.2 came out and was born to make history. With a gigantic arsenal of waveshapes, it could not only reproduce known analog sounds, but also brilliant choirs, bells and whistles. The digital sounds of wavetables had been unheard until then and offered sensational sonic evolutions by smoothly going through 64 waves back and forth.
PPG Wave 3.V runs natively in 32 bit host software. It can be used in 64 bit hosts that come with a so-called 'bit bridge', such as Cubase 6 or Logic 9.
Later versions of the PPG Wave 3.V will run natively in 64 bit hosts, please visit our website regularily for updates. The PPG Wave 3.V has a considerably extended and enhanced feature set compared to its predecessor, the PPG Wave 2.V. The following table highlights the most important new features and improvements. PPG Wave 2.V PPG Wave 3.V Number of Voices per instance 64 256 Number of Wavetables 30 All Wavetables from PPG Wave 2.2. 164 All Wavetables from PPG Wave 2.2 and PPG Wave 2.3 (two Wavetables are slightly different).
