![]() ![]() ROMplers are basically glorified playback devices. ![]() The distinction between a ROMpler and any synth is that the ROMpler uses the sample as the primary sound - in a recognizable format - the sound is the product. Whether something starts with a sample, a recording (same thing), a single cycle waveform (same thing but smaller), or an oscillator (same thing but usually with specifically fixed harmonic content) is totally irrelevant. These timbres are then evolved over time to create music. The fundamental waveform is then further modulated by other waveforms, filtered, processed, strips, repitched, enveloped, wavefolded, etc, to yield timbres. Whether they are samples, single cycle waveforms, oscillators, granular synthesis, whatever. ![]() Maybe it’s best to step away from whatever it is you’re trying to prove.Īll synthesis is based on fundamental waveforms. I get the sense that you’re emotionally attached to your argument here. That said, i really hope they bring in user waves in a firmware upgrade (pretty sure they will, it’s 2020… think about ableton’s own wavetable, initially they said user tables were not on the roadmap but in fact it was already doable via navigating internal folders…and now its as easy as drag and drop…) The major upgrade here is the ability to decouple the length of the various parameters in wavesequences! this alone opens up wonderful opportunities for odd polymetric stuff that was impossible on the original wavestations ![]() you just have to be creative with modulations, wavesequences, vector envelopes etc. I think the concept behind wavestation and wavestate is great, and the amount of really diverse and intriguing sounds you can generate with bread and butter samples on board is really vast. it is a synthesizer that happens to work with samples instead of oscillators. if you ever played an original wavestation i’m sure you wouldn’t call this a sampler. ![]()
