Wavetables for Avenger

The format Avenger imports

Two documented WAV routes: a one-cycle WAV converts to an OSC shape, and a multi-frame WAV dropped on a Resampler/Wavetable OSC's wavetable view is sliced into a wavetable using user-set Root (128–4,096 samples per waveform) and Increment spacing — 2–256 waveforms per table, then exportable. No automatic packed-WAV or frame-metadata detection is documented.

What Hyperwave exports

Every Hyperwave export is one packed wavetable WAV. Check these facts against the Avenger format above — where the two disagree, the fix is almost always the frame size or a conversion step, not the sound design.

Sample format

32-bit float by default (values between -1 and +1); 16-bit WAV is a direct export option for targets that load integer banks.

Channels

1 (mono). Every frame is one single-cycle waveform.

Header sample rate

48,000 Hz by default. This is a label in the file header — for wavetable import it doesn't stretch or resample your frames. One exception: VCV Rack's Wavetable VCO reads the sample-rate field as the frame length when it's a power of two, and sample players that fall back to one-shot mode use it for pitch.

Frame layout

Frames are packed end-to-end in one data chunk, in wavetable order; the export filename records the shape as name-{samples}x{frames}.wav.

Resolution

The live table runs from 8 to 8,192 samples per frame and 8 to 1,024 frames (defaults 2,048 × 256).

Metadata

No extra metadata chunks are written — targets that read frame size from metadata have to infer it from the file itself.

Load a Hyperwave table into Avenger

1. Export from Hyperwave as a packed mono WAV with frames of 128–4,096 samples (2,048 default).
2. Select a Resampler OSC in Avenger and drag the WAV onto the wavetable view.
3. Set Root to the frame length in samples (2,048) and Increments to x1 so frames follow end-to-end.
4. Optionally press Export to bake the result into a wavetable.

Common issues

• Avenger does not auto-detect frame size — Root and Increments must match the export (Root 2,048, Increment x1) or frames slice at the wrong length.
• Frame sizes above 4,096 samples (Hyperwave's 8,192 option) and more than 256 frames are out of the manual's documented wavetable range.
