The only reason I would ever generate waves in an audio editor would be if I was making kicks.

I think the point is

if you just use a sample, and pitch shift it in a sampler, you get aliasing and other errors from it being one sample manipulated

in the opposite case you have one pure sample for each note, with no manipulation.

ie pure sub !

nice idea

If aliasing only occurs in the very high frequencies then whys that a problem for subs?. Also why not just create your sub with a synth if your that worried?

If your sampler can't transpose a pure sine wave across a couple of octaves without aliasing, you've got a shite sampler.

SAFE!

Synths oscillations aren't as pure as a single eqed frequency band pass with a high Q creating a self oscillating frequency. It's really important to get good full notes that are just sub fundamental.

What on earth are you talking about?

He means synths don't make pure sine waves. Sound Forge does because it uses maths and not oscillators.

safe. really eh. someone should bump up thier pack here to avoid any unnecessary labour.

Yeah this is a good tip Isotone, i did this a while ago as the EXS24 (the sampler I mainly use) is really bad for aliasing, here's the pack I made:

http://download.yousendit.com/1A6C2E9D3A29F02F

Generated the sine waves in Cool Edit, they are 16 bit 44.1khz, all peaking at 0db I think.

If someone has Trilogy and wants to make a 24bit multisample of that minimoog sub patch in return i'd be very grateful...!

Nice 1

Lol.

This thread is hilarious, I love the pseudo science that gets thrown around.

Does anyone truly believe a sine wave created in a synth like massive is actually inferior?

...what?

thanks for posting your pack man!i

Not inferior, just not as pure. All depends on what you want to use it for. There's less harmonics in a self-oscillating resonance. At least I've had better results this way.

808 kick is self oscillation , too, he is right
