New LFO waveshapes

You can use the spectral waves as an LFO and they sound great, but originally they were meant for the audio oscillators. What if we had some new spectral waves that are specially designed for the LFO. There are many useful waveshapes that can add more fun and liveliness to our music.

Some are based with midi-tempo in mind, some are good for single cycle envelopes, others come from vintage gear and some from nature. They also sound great as oscillators in the audio range. These are just suggestions, of course, I bet Access could come up with a whole bunch of exciting wave shapes.

Below is a list of the currant spectral waves available for the LFOs.

[UPDATE] added waveform 51.

I didn't make the spectral waveform chart, some dude named Wolfgang did, if you google "Virus Oscillator Waveshapes" you'll find the original.

As far as where waveform 51 is, I heard a rumor it was confiscated and is being held at Area 51!

Let's keep in mind that spectral waveshapes are different from wavetable oscillators, spectral being single cycle sample loops and wavetables that have a list of waves that can scanned through in real time.

I'll see if I can get waveform 51 posted soon, maybe I'll do some sound demos of the suggested wave shapes.

[UPDATE]

Here's Waveform 51, it sounds like it has bass piano harmonics.

[quote='Ruari',index.php?page=Thread&postID=15498#post15498]Your thread got me thinking, so I started checking out a few different synths to see how much variation if any, could be seen between different synths from different manufacturers. I had a look at the simple sawtooth wave & four different manufacturers (2 hardware, 2 software) give four different results, filters fully open & resonance set to 0

What waveforms go with what synth? I would love to know.

By the way, if anyone is interested in building a guide with me about the different existing waveforms characteristics, just PM me.
I got lost each time in the wavetables, and go back to the same all the time that I know. A guide could be a great experiment support ;).

I'd be willing to help out, I'm a graphic artist and I get lost in the many waveshapes that are available. It would be a challange to descibe the waves and what they're best suited for. By the way, batman, you disabled the ability for you to recieve private messages.
