What VCV Rack (Wavetable VCO) expects
The bundled Wavetable VCO loads packed WAVs up to 524,288 total samples in 8/16/24/32-bit integer or 32-bit float; frame size is taken from the sample-rate header if it is a power of two (e.g. 1024 for 1,024-sample frames), otherwise set via the module's Wave points menu. WaveEdit banks work.
Step by step
- Export from Hyperwave as a packed mono WAV.
- Right-click the VCV Wavetable VCO and choose Load wavetable.
- If frames slice wrong, set Wave points to the frame length.
If something goes wrong
- The Wavetable VCO refused my file.
- Tables above 524,288 total samples are refused — 2,048 × 256 is exactly at the limit, so keep the export at or below that.
