Individual folder downloads of the AKWF pack

All the single cycle wave forms from the AKWF pack but broken down so you can download each folder separately. If you want them all you will probably want to download one of the all in one pack that you find here.

Blended

I mixed wave forms in a analogue mixing console to get blended waveforms.

Perfect waves

The most perfect waves I could produce.

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…

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.

  • Hi! This is so amazing!

    Do you have a place to download the wavetables as a “full sweep”? I guess I mean instead of single cycles, a wave file that cycles through all the waveforms in a wavetable? I want to experiment with an Elektron Model:Samples, but so far I can only find the single cycles to loop. I’d love to automate or use an LFO on the sample start time, giving me different waveshapes.

    Hopefully this makes sense!

    Hi ,
    I’d love to see if these are wave tables are comparable with the U.D.O audio super 6 ..
    Here are the requirements from their website .

    The alternative waveform format for DDS 1 is as follows:

    16-bit signed integer format samples
    Normalised, single-cycle waveform with 4096 points (8192 bytes)
    Bandlimited at sampling frequency/8 (Nyquist/4), i.e. frequency content above 512 Hz in your 4096 point waveform should be removed
    Binary file containing no header data and file extension .ws6

    Would any of your waveforms fir this criteria ..?
    I’m more than willing to donate if this is the case..

    Thanks

    Hi
    My name is Sam and I have just started using Caustic 3.2. I downloaded the Free AKWF single cycle waveform folder that os supposed to go in Subsynth. The problem I’m having is I don’t understand what to do with the large grouping of files in each folder. I’m pretty new to the sound synthesis game having done no more than change the FX loop direction on my guitar’s BOSS Gt-10. I’m primarily a guitarist ( played ~20years) but this sound synthesis thing is awesome to me and I want to get started. Thank you so much for all the work this AKWF package must have taken!

    • Hi Sam! Sorry for the late reply… I am working on sequenced waveforms but in the pack here it is basically one offs. I haven’t used Caustics unfortunately. I use them in many ways. Some synthesizers I have can morph between waveforms or just transition between them. That’s how I mainly use them kinda like regular oscillator shapes. People have done all sort of things with them though. Good luck!

  • Armando says:

    Thank you 🙂

  • Subjekt_9 says:

    This is EXACTLY what I was needing for use in iZotope’s Iris 2!!! Thank you so freakin’ much!

  • derrtiblu says:

    this is amazing sound quality!! using such sounds in either caustic or g-stomper i just gotta figure out how if u know. give heads up how two input such sounds please thank you. my donation will come later. no space for such downloads of samples as of right now.

  • Troy says:

    Hi there, these .wav waveforms are really cool. I would like to get them into a straight text file, something I could import into Excel. do you know the easiest way to do that?

    Adventure Kid waveforms resampled to C and with octaves spread across slices so each wave file contains C0-C7. Made for Octatrack but adaptable for gear that can set start end end points of samples. Should save space and directory browsing.

    Otherwise just use the direct waveforms I posted below.

    The friendly folks at Elektronauts took this single cycle waveforms and repitched them to C so they play correct chromatically.
