For / sound designers
Hyperwave for sound designers.
Build wavetables in a free browser node graph, inspect each frame's waveform, harmonics, and phase, then export a packed WAV for a compatible synth.
Build with a node graph
Connect generators, transforms, and modulators to build a table. Hyperwave runs in the browser for free, and the local workflow does not require an account.
You can change a node, listen to the result, and inspect how the frames changed.
Inspect while you build
Waveform, harmonic, and phase views are available as you edit each frame.
Phase inspection helps you compare frames that have similar harmonic levels but different waveform shapes.
Resolution headroom and batch export
While editing, a table can use 8–8,192 samples per frame and 8–1,024 frames. Single-table and collection exports support 8–16,384 samples per frame and 1–256 frames; collections bundle the WAV files into a zip.
Use collection export to render several saved presets in one pass.
What loads where — and what needs a vendor tool
Hyperwave exports packed mono WAV. It writes IEEE float by default and offers 16-bit PCM for selected hardware targets. The import guides list the settings for each destination.
Hyperwave does not write optional frame-size metadata chunks. Hardware formats such as raw 8-bit files and SysEx packages still require the vendor's tools.
How it compares
The comparison covers Hyperwave, Serum 2, Vital, WaveEdit, Waved Studio, OSS Wavetable Creator, okwt, and Novation Components using the same price, platform, export, hardware, and batch-export fields. Each entry links to product sources and shows its check date.
Alternative shortlists compare options for someone leaving each tool, including reasons to stay.
Judge it like a sound designer: compare it against every other wavetable tool on the same axes, browse the verified import guides, or open the app and start a table.
