-====== Scythe Synthesizer Wavetable Info ======
-By @espiegel123
-Scythe wavetables contain up to 256 frames (or slices or waveforms).
-Audio to Wavetable Conversion
-Scythe can create wavetables from audio imported from AudioShare. The maximum number of waveforms per wavetable is 256. Scythe uses a proprietary algorithm for analyzing audio and converting the audio to a wavetable. There is not a fixed ratio of audio duration to wavetable frame. The spectral (harmonic) complexity of the sound influences the conversion. I have had 1 second long sound that resulted in a full 256 frame wavetable and another sound whose 2.8 seconds resulted in 254 frames.
-When I imported a 220Hz sine wave, the frames (waveforms) were very close (if not precisely), two cycles wide.
-Jarryd Hall, Scythe's creator, told me:
-Regarding the wavetable generation.
-The engine works with its own file format and audio is processed in a way that works with the synthesis engine, generated specifically for the synthesis algorithms being used. Each wavetable can hold up to 256 (2^8) waves, with each wave containing 1024 (2^10) samples.
-The processing is done using a few combined techniques and mainly focuses on frequency, where low-mid frequency sounds or sounds containing the most frequency changes generate the best wavetables.
-The generated wave is heavily dependent on spectral content. Scythe doesn't work as a sampler/wavescanner.
