How to import wavetables into Phase Plant

KiloheartsSoftware synthVerified

Phase Plant from Kilohearts imports wavetables like this: loads 256×2,048-sample WAV/FLAC wavetables; other lengths convert in the editor.

This guide gives the exact layout Phase Plant expects, the step-by-step load, the Hyperwave export settings that match, and plain fixes for the import failures the documentation warns about.

What Phase Plant expects

Loads user wavetables from WAV or FLAC files of exactly 256 frames × 2,048 samples (524,288 samples); the built-in wavetable editor converts any other sample into a wavetable. Bit depth is not specified.

Step by step

  1. Export from Hyperwave at exactly 256 frames × 2,048 samples (524,288 total).
  2. Click the wavetable name to open the browser, add the file's folder as a user folder, then load the table.
  3. For other lengths or frame sizes, open the wavetable editor and use the sample conversion — drag the file onto the editor or File → Create from Sample — then save the result.

If something goes wrong

Phase Plant refuses my file on a direct load.
Direct loads require exactly 524,288 samples (256 frames × 2,048). Any other geometry must be rebuilt through the wavetable editor's sample conversion — drag the file onto the editor or use File → Create from Sample.

Export settings for Phase Plant

Phase Plant has no dedicated export preset in Hyperwave — the default preset ("Default — 2048 × 256") writes 2,048 samples per frame, 256 frames, mono 32-bit float, and matches the layout documented above.

Default — 2048 × 256
2,048 samples per frame × 256 frames · 32-bit float · 48 kHz
