WAVE

A wavetable oscillator. Unlike the VCO its timbre is a continuous axis — pos sweeps through a row of waveforms and it takes a CABLE, so timbre can be modulated by an LFO or an envelope like anything else. table can also point at a sample bank slot, making any recording a wavetable.

The WAVE card as vimsynth draws it: its title bar, 6 knobs, 3 inputs down the left edge and 1 outputs down the right
WAVE on an empty rack — 32×19 cells, knobs at their defaults. Press a in the app and pick WAVE to get this card.

inputs

Down the left edge of the card, top to bottom.

v/octpitch
Pitch. 1.0 = one octave up.
pos cvcv
Sweeps the position in the wavetable. THIS is what the VCO cannot do: modulate the timbre itself.
fmcv
Frequency modulation, scaled by fm amt.

outputs

Down the right edge, in the same order.

outaudio
The sound.

knobs

Left to right across the face — the dials in the picture.

tablebuilt-in · slot 0 · slot 1 · slot 2 · slot 3= built-in
Which table. built-in is a row of shapes from sine to something with teeth. A bank slot makes any recording into a wavetable.
frame256 · 512 · 1024 · 2048= 2048
Samples per cycle when reading a bank slot.
pos0 … 1= 0
WHERE in the table. This is the module: a timbre you can sweep, and modulate with a cable.
tune-24 … 24 st= 0 st
Pitch offset in semitones.
fm amt0 … 1= 0
How far the fm input moves the pitch.
level0 … 1= 0.7
Output level.
