Picture-based wavetables #7526

Open lunafreya opened 6 months ago

lunafreya commented 6 months ago

One of the features that made Serum (from Xfer Audio) one of the finest EDM synthesizers is the usage of pictures as wavetables. I believe that this feature on Serum is the most user-friendly way of using pictures as wavetables - if not the ONLY way right now. Why not imagine that for Surge? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU2OgcY9SHI

ha ha ha what a bonkers trick.

we've thought a lot about, and invested very little in, wavetable editing and creation in surge. But I'll tag this issue to think about it.

For now, you can do all that in serum, export the wave table, and surge will load serum wavetables.

Some good info on how to best prepare an image for importing it like that into Serum:
