WaveEdit alternatives

The ranked shortlist

Ordered for someone leaving WaveEdit. Hyperwave is this site's free browser generator and ranks #2 here.

1. OSS Wavetable Creator

   Ocean Swift's compatibility list names the E352/E370 and Piston Honda MK3, plus Waldorf and Novation hardware. Check its output settings for the bank format your module needs.

   At €40 it is paid and desktop-only, but it adds crossfade, morph, and blend modes plus batch random generation that WaveEdit's page does not document.

2. Hyperwave

   This site's tool

   Hyperwave uses a free browser node graph with waveform, harmonic, and phase views on each frame. WaveEdit uses a bank editor and waterfall view.

   It writes the 16-bit, 256-sample module bank WAVs directly, while WaveEdit stays the official tool for assembling a full 64-table bank and writing the card.

3. Waved Studio

   Waved Studio is a free browser draw-and-morph editor with FM operators, motion curves, and a 3D topology view. It is installable as a progressive web app.

   Its WAV and AIFF export guide covers software synths and generic sampler or hardware audio, but documents no E352 or E370 bank layout.

4. okwt

   From the terminal, okwt converts audio, images, or arbitrary files into universal-format wavetables. It is free and MIT-licensed, writing packed float32 WAV up to 256 frames of 2,048 samples.

   Resize and frame-size flags can target other layouts, but there is no graphical interface and the README documents no hardware bank layouts.
