Save all single cycle waves in one go

Started by teacue

Hi,
I am a happy new user of Serum thanks to the Rent-to-Own offer :-)

I am aware that it is possible to save a selection of a wavetable.
This way it is possible to save each wave of a wavetable one after another.
But saving each wave from a table with 256 waves is quite tedious.

Is there a way to save all the multiple single cycle waves of a table (or a selection) in one go?
If not, would you consider this?

Best regards and thanks for your great work.

I question why you would want to have 256 individual files to begin with?
Maybe you can find a wav splitter app if you have the desire for a lot of that (wavetable files are just essentially wav files, you can split every 2048 samples).

Thanks for your answer.

I guess it is not a secret that the Serum Wavetable editor is one of the best editor actually available.
With your editor it is possible to create outstanding wavetables.
The single waves can be used alone as shape, or they can be combined in different order and in all kind of ways.
The possibility are endless.
This waves can be re-used in Serum or in other applications.
On my side I definitively have use for a lot of good single cycle waves :-)

May I add that in some kind of way you opened the door for this kind of work as you decided to choose the wav format for Serum wavetables?
I find this was a really great and user friendly decision!
It allows musicians to work creatively without the obstacles often founded with proprietary file format.
I am very glad about this.

I am used to cut short waves at zero point crossing and I do it often.
At the moment I do this with Adobe Audition.
I did not think about the fact that the single cycle waves in Serum have the fixed length of 2048 samples and that it should be indeed possible to find a way to batch splitt a wavetable at this fix length.
I still did not find how to do it in Adobe Audition but I will certainly search further.
In case you know an app that can do this very particular task, suggestions are welcome (Windows).

So thanks for your suggestion.
But should be such a function in Serum not too labor-intensive to create, it would be welcome ;-)

Best regards

You could do it with SoX which is a command-line audio app
sox input.wav output.wav trim 0s 2048s

there might be more 'user friendly' options. I still don't see why you'd want to repeatedly export all tables individually. When I don't understand feature requests I wait for understanding or at least a group consensus, especially when it can be done externally.

Cheers for the nod on using the wav format, was certainly intentional to keep it 'open' for the benefit of the user.

Warm regards,
Steve

Everyone wants certain features added, I feel this is the wrong sort of thing to be doing (thousands of individual wavetables). They are so much more rich and musical used in a group. Both those single-cycle libraries are old. The first thing I did was combine them in to groups and deleted the individual files. Then Galbanum re-released himself for Serum / grouped together.
