MCL / WAV Designer

WAV Designer

WAV Designer creates short single-cycle WAV samples for the Machinedrum UW. It has three oscillator pages and one oscillator mixer page.

Open it with:

[Bank Group] + [Trig 10]

Workflow

Shape oscillators on OSC1, OSC2 and OSC3.
Balance them on the MIXER page.
Use TRANSFER from the menu to render WAVE.wav.
Choose the destination Machinedrum sample slot in the Sample Manager slot picker.

WAV Designer renders a mono WAV, detects loop points, normalizes the audio level, writes the loop metadata, and sends the file with MIDI SDS.

Hold [Global] to open the WAV Designer menu.

Entry	Function
`EDIT`	Switch between `OSC1`, `OSC2`, `OSC3` and `MIXER`.
`WAV`	Select the oscillator waveform on oscillator pages.
`TRANSFER`	Render and send the mixed waveform from the mixer page.

TRANSFER is available from the mixer page.

Oscillator Pages

Each oscillator has its own pitch, fine tune, shape width and waveform-specific editor.

Control	Function
`Encoder 1`	Pitch in note steps.
`Encoder 2`	Fine tune in cents.
`Encoder 3`	Width for triangle, pulse and saw waveforms.
`Encoder 4`	Edit sine overtones or user waveform points while trig keys are held.
[No] / panel Save/No	Toggle note display and frequency display.
MD [Trig] keys	Select sine overtones or user-waveform points for `Encoder 4` editing.

The oscillator's displayed note/frequency determines its rendered pitch. The final render uses the lowest active oscillator as the fundamental so the combined waveform loops cleanly.

Waveforms

Waveform	Function
`--`	Oscillator off.
`SIN`	Sine with editable overtone levels. Hold trig keys and turn `Encoder 4` to set overtone levels.
`TRI`	Triangle with width control.
`PUL`	Pulse/square with width control.
`SAW`	Saw with width control.
`USR`	Sixteen-point user waveform. Hold trig keys and turn `Encoder 4` to edit points.

Mixer Page

Control	Function
`Encoder 1`	Oscillator 1 level.
`Encoder 2`	Oscillator 2 level.
`Encoder 3`	Oscillator 3 level.
`Encoder 4`	Reserved for transfer/slot state.
Hold [Global]	Open the menu with `TRANSFER`.

The mixer levels do not need to be conservative. The rendered file is normalized before transfer.

Output File

WAV Designer writes its render to the logical path:

/Samples/WAV/WAVE.wav

If your SD card uses an /MCL folder, the file is stored at /MCL/Samples/WAV/WAVE.wav.

The generated WAV includes loop metadata. If the file already exists, the render path overwrites the temporary WavDesigner output before transfer.
