Wavetables for ELZ_1 play

The format ELZ_1 play imports

Supports importing Serum-format wavetable files from SD card; up to 32 user wavetables can be registered. Built-in tables are licensed Waldorf/PPG data.

What Hyperwave exports

Every Hyperwave export is one packed wavetable WAV. Check these facts against the ELZ_1 play format above — where the two disagree, the fix is almost always the frame size or a conversion step, not the sound design.

Sample format

32-bit float by default (values between -1 and +1); 16-bit WAV is a direct export option for targets that load integer banks.

Channels

1 (mono). Every frame is one single-cycle waveform.

Header sample rate

48,000 Hz by default. This is a label in the file header — for wavetable import it doesn't stretch or resample your frames. One exception: VCV Rack's Wavetable VCO reads the sample-rate field as the frame length when it's a power of two, and sample players that fall back to one-shot mode use it for pitch.

Frame layout

Frames are packed end-to-end in one data chunk, in wavetable order; the export filename records the shape as name-{samples}x{frames}.wav.

Resolution

The live table runs from 8 to 8,192 samples per frame and 8 to 1,024 frames (defaults 2,048 × 256). Single-table and collection exports can render 8–16,384 samples per frame and 1–256 frames.

Metadata

Hyperwave writes no extra wavetable metadata chunks. Importers use the audio layout, their own defaults, or settings you choose to interpret the frames.

Load a Hyperwave table into ELZ_1 play

1. Export from Hyperwave as a Serum-style packed WAV (2,048-sample frames).
2. Copy the WAV to the included SD card via USB mass storage.
3. Register it as a user wavetable (manual: Using user waveforms with Wavetable / Loading Wavetables from the Card).
