How To Extract & Use Waveforms In Rayblaster - Tone2 Rayblaster Reference Manual

8. How to extract & use waveforms in Rayblaster
A lot of instruments can be emulated by extracting a waveform from the original source,
e.g., brass, woodwind and string instruments. Rayblaster is very good in modeling these
instruments especially if the original waveform is used as its building block.
The following step-by-step describes how to do this:
1. Play a very low note on the instrument you want to extract a sample of
2. Sample the instruments
3. Extract/edit a single-cycle waveform from your sample, note that there should be a
zero-crossing at the start & end of the single-cycle.
The maximum amount of energy (largest amplitude) should be as far to the start of
as possible.
4. Save your single-cycle wav and import it into one of Rayblaster's oscillators
Note that the File menu in Rayblaster offers two Quick import options, these will guide you
through importing your sample/drumloop and configure Rayblaster to use the imported file.
