All in one pack!
You probably want to download one of the all in one pack. It contains all the single cycle wave forms. The wave format work with many samplers and synths and there are some packages containing samples formatted for ones that need a different format. I choose to sample thes waveforms at D2+2 which equals 600 samples. The biggest reason for that was because I was using Fibonacci sequences to build sounds. As the synths, samplers and computers got better at handling single cycle wave forms it made less sense but I kept the standard of 600 samples anyway.
Wave format (all in one) (suitable for many synthesizers and samplers such as Native Instrument Reaktor, Mutable Instruments Shruti, Image lines Sytrus, Image Line Monomachine, Big Tick Rhino, U-he Zebra, Camel Audio Alchemy, Image Line Harmor, Image Line Harmless, Image Line 3xOsc, Elektron Octatrack, Ableton Sampler, Blip Interactive Nanostudio, Single Cell Software Caustic etc.)
Formatted for Camel Audio Alchemy (all in one)
Formatted for U-he Zebra (all in one) (Thanks Piet Wagner)
Formatted for Big Tick Rhino (all in one) (Thanks Tick)
Formatted for MonoMachine (all in one) (Thanks Tyrone)
Formatted for Native Instruments Reaktor (all in one) (Thanks to MaZe 6000)

Acoustic guitar
Single cycle waveforms sampled from acoustic guitars.
Aucostic Guitar – Single cycle waveforms
Alto sax
Waveforms sample from a alto sax.
Alto Sax – Single cycle waveforms
Birds
I sampled some birds.
Birds – Single cycle waveforms
Bitreduced
Waveforms that are bit reduced… Sounds video gamish.
Bitreduced – Single cycle waveforms
Blended
I mixed wave forms in a analogue mixing console to get blended waveforms.
Blended – Single cycle waveforms
Perfect waves
The most perfect waves I could produce.
Perfect waves – Single cycle waveforms
Basic waves
A collection of basic waves but taken from various sources. When I started to sample one cycle waveforms I found that a saw waveform coming out of one machine isn’t like the saw waveform coming out of the next one…
Saw waves with a gap at the zero crossing
c604
Waveforms taken from my beloved Commodore 64
Cello
Waveforms sampled from cellos.
Clarinet
Waveforms sampled from clarinets.
Clavinet
Waveforms sampled from clavinets.
Dbass
Waveforms sampled from double basses.
Distorted
Distortion noise whoooooaaaaaaa!!!
Electric bass guitar
Waveforms sampled from bass guitars.
Electric guitar
Gitaaaaaah!
Electric organ
You got an organ goin’ there no wonder the sound has so much body.
Electric piano
Waveforms sampled from cellos.
Flute
Waveforms sampled from flutes.
FM
Waveforms sampled from FM synthesizers.
Granular
Waveforms created using various granular techniques.
Hand drawn
I made these! Hand drawn… Oyeah!
Human voice
Waveforms sampled from voices.
Linear
Waveforms made by using linear interpolation.
Oboe
Waveforms sampled from oboes.
Oscillator chip
Waveforms sampled from a oscillator with 32 steps.
Overtone
Waveforms made by a very simple additive synthesizer I built. Sounds like an organ.
Piano
Waveforms sampled from pianos.
Pluck algorithm
Waveforms made using a pluck algorithm. The waveforms is taken from different stages of the generated sound.
Raw
RAAAAW!!!
Sinus waves harmonics
Sinus waves and harmonics.
Snippets
Waveforms sampled from really short pieces of anything. Television, the trains going by, the microwave oven, etc.
Stereo
These are stereo waveforms, not many synthesizers can read those…
Stringbox
Waveforms sampled from my favourite string box. It sounds nothing like a string quartet but I love it. The string box is more or less these waveforms + a cheesy chorus.
Symmetric
Symmetric objects are beautiful.
Theremin
Waveforms sampled from Theremins.
Video game
Waveforms sampled from 8-bit and 16-bit video games.
Video game basics
Some basic waveforms from video games.
Violin
Waveforms sampled from violins.
That’s all, happy sound designing!

Great sounds !!
no! wait… here:

Thank you very much!
I have put 3400 of your Waveforms into a Reaktor map to use them in a single Sample Looper module as a Wavetable-Osc.

love the scw’s. work great in the Octatrack. Keep it up
Your Sinus waves link does not work
This is great stuff, just what I’ve been looking for.
Great work!
Pity you don’t have a PayPal button.
By the way, it seems like the graphic page for Stereo lacks most graphic elements:

GREAT !!
may your cycles add color to timbres beyond – cornball i know… – much thanks!
Thank you so much!
