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!

Thank you very much for this amazing collection – really useful and high quality. I’ve used your wavesahpes for creating a reaktor instrument – an interesting wavetable synthesizer named “Aurora”. You can find it at the reaktor user library on the NI website(Synthesizers/Wavetable/Aurora). Your credit is there offcourse. You can also get it by contacting me.
Thanks again!!

Thanks a lot! These waveforms will be the basis for our wavetable support in the Overtone project.

I feel this is among the most significant information for me. And i am happy reading your article. However should remark on some common things, The web site taste is perfect, the articles is truly excellent : D. Excellent process, cheers

thank you so much!!

Put “Kristoffer Ekstrand / Adventure Kid” as the credit and if there is space a adventurekid.se link would be nice. I love that these gets used! Show me what you did with it! Take care!

Permission to redistribute with credit?
I’m hoping to redistribute your amazing incredible work as part of a sound synthesis package for the Racket language. How would you like me to credit your work?

Chad: Oh good! =)

My previous post (Below) I downloaded each wavepack one by one and then after posting about the sinus waves (downloading problem) realized that you made a link @ the top of the page for all downloads @ once in various formats…the sinus waves were in the All in one pack! [.wav format] =Problem Solved
October 29th, 2011 at 7:14 am
Sinus Waves in the Basic Waveforms Collection are missing…everything else was there

Hi, thanks for posting this incredible set of waveforms! In order to make them easier to load into my Monomachine SFX-60+ I took the full sample pack and re-organized it into folders containing a maximum of 64 samples, if you were interested in hosting this formatted pack on your site I can send you an updated .zip file with the new folder structure, just flick me an email. Thanks again for posting these! cheers, Tyrone

WoW, this is terrific. I’m looking for the Korg DW 8000 waves, are any of these based on those? I think the MS2000 has them, but I’m not sure if that synth lets you load/change waves in order to extract the ones I want.
This is a super contribution to music you have done here.
(that was a terrible sentence. . .)
July 19th, 2011 at 2:23 am
incredible. thank you so much, dear sir!
June 2nd, 2011 at 9:24 pm
I’m using your samples for pure fun on a Akai S2000.
You made this one the “Ueber”-Synth with your samples. Congrats and very very++ thanks….

I will use the waveforms in several software I’m developing. (NoizeKamStudio)
Thank you very much for this nice job.

March 29th, 2011 at 2:26 am
WOW! As a longtime FL Studio user migrating to Ableton Live and a Mac, I decided since all the free synths I loved are Windows only, I’d use some waveforms in Simpler until I decide which commercial synth I’ll buy. This completely exceeded my expectations!
(of the Mac-compatible FL Studio synths, I’m leaning towards Toxic Biohazard)
Thank you so much!

Through: Thanks, I’ll change that. Have fun with the samples!
El-tron: Have fun!
Ray: Thanks have fun!
Nam-ron: I have used them with a monomachine but I didn’t get them on there myself so all I know is that you can get them on it somehow.
February 27th, 2011 at 2:49 am
Thank you so much, these are the best! I’ll never need any other samples now besides drums…
By the way, on this page under “Electric Piano” it says “Waveforms sampled from cellos.” You might want to change that lol
January 28th, 2011 at 8:24 am
WOW! Thanks a mill, man! This is great stuff. Awesome work!
January 16th, 2011 at 6:06 am
As a lover of vintage 8-bit sound and chipmusic, i’ve been looking for a collection like this for a long time. Excellent collection.
January 11th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Hi,
I have one problem, everytime when i try to upload one sample to my monomachine mk2 i get the message “error: incorrect length” ..
i use the c6 tool. any help?
December 12th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Hi Ronin, the library is to big for all versions but the latest version of Alchemy. It’s just a guess but you might need to update it.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
I’m having a problem when trying to insert the Alchemy flavoured ones into the waveform and lfo libraries directories – it crashes the host program completely. Have tried in Reaper and FlStudio. It seems to work if you have only one directory at a time.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for the work anyhoo!

OFFLINE BROWSING WAVEFORM CHARTS
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9600561/AKWFWaveformChart.zip
Wgot Madah’s waveform charts for offline browsing if anybody’s interested. Unzips nicely into sample folder allowing an image beside every waveform!
Thanks a million for this excellent and generous resource it’s amazing!

Hi Adventure Kid, thanks a lot for the AKWF wavetables, I use it in Zebra2.5, very nice!!!
October 11th, 2010 at 6:18 am
Hi Adventure Kind, did you know of any program that can assist in drawing/generating single waveforms on Mac Computer? A real Great collection you have here!
October 7th, 2010 at 10:58 am
Outstanding, thanks alot!
October 5th, 2010 at 6:46 am
These should work well with alphakanal’s automat plugin as well. Thanks!
