How to import wavetables into modwave native

KorgSoftware synthVerified

modwave native from Korg imports wavetables like this: imports WAV as wavetable straight from the Librarian page — same formats as the hardware.

The documented import path was checked against the linked sources on 2026-08-16. Test the resulting table in modwave native before using it in a project.

What modwave native expects

Same two import formats as the hardware modwave: 32-bit float with exactly 2,048-sample waves (Serum-style, up to 64 waves end-to-end) or 16-bit with exactly 256-sample waves — also capped at 64 waves per file.

Step by step

  1. Export from Hyperwave at 2,048 samples per frame, 64 frames or fewer (float).
  2. In the modwave native Librarian page, open the main menu and choose Import WAV As Wavetable.
  3. Save the resulting wavetable to a user bank.
