Partikl Tone Generator Unit: Wavetable

Tip: You can use an audio junction unit to add together sounds from multiple tone generators to make even richer sounds!

Overview

Select this unit to play notes using the current wavetable sound for with this synth line.

By default, the sound used will be the one for the bank/patch defined by MIDI Program Change commands emitted by the underlying Noatikl or MIDI file that is driving this synth channel.

By default, the unit will use sounds built-in to Partikl's built-in Genreal MIDI wavetable

Advanced Users: advanced users can configure Partikl to use custom wavetable sounds, using the DLS and Audio Samples Dialogs!

The main controls in this unit are:

Default MIDI checkbox: If checked, the sound used will be that already set up in the part. If unchecked, then you can override the sound with the Overide Pitch List / Overide Bank List below.

Overide Pitch List / Overide Bank List: This patch/bank will by default be used the determine the sound to use within the default MIDI wavetable; which may of course be overridden using the sample dialog (where you can set-up alternative wavetables).

However, you can use the bank/patch slider in the Tone:Wavetable unit to override the underlying MIDI Program Change commands, and instead force the wavetable unit to use a specific sound specified by that patch/bank. Whether or not you override the patch/bank, you can shift the pitch of the generated sound away from the notes that would otherwise be played, using the octave/semi/offset controls.

Ove: This allows you to specify the the octave offset from the voice's pitch.

Semi: This allows you to select the semitone offset from the voice's pitch (taking into account the octave offset above).

Micro: This allows you to specify the microtonal offset in order to 'detune' the tone. -100 is the equivalent to a semitone down, and +100 is a semitone up.
