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.
This guide gives the exact layout modwave native expects, the step-by-step load, the Hyperwave export settings that match, and plain fixes for the import failures the documentation warns about.
Everything here is verified against Korg's own documentation or source code — sources at the end of the page, checked 2026-08-16.
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
- Export from Hyperwave at 2,048 samples per frame, 64 frames or fewer (float).
- In the modwave native Librarian page, open the main menu and choose Import WAV As Wavetable.
- Save the resulting wavetable to a user bank.
