IMO the 500 or so included oscillators are absolutely more than enough, just don't think it's going to help installing 1000s more. Would try to stick to the basic waveforms and explore what's possible with these (combined with the mod matrix, plus some FX etc), especially if you are just dipping your toes into all this. It's mind boggling what possible now, especially when you start incorporating wavetables and of course 'normal' sample layers.

We're on the same page. I think a random oscillator/wavetable generator would be great tho.

I saw it and said I won't buy a scratch ticket this week and help out.. :-D ill be honesbim gonna need a full day just to figure out how how to get the most out the oscillators ... times so precious and days get short when we have regular lives sad story ..

Now, “User Single Cycles” appears correctly in my MPC.



Got it all working. Thanks for the info! I'm set now. This is more than enough to work with for me.

I picked them up they would be useful definitely worth it.

Hey, that's me! Thanks for mentioning my MPC Wavetables here, Certified Beatz! I appreciate it! I'll definitely be doing follow-up videos about MPC. A huge amount of my content on YouTube (I am @kcrosley there as well) is about wavetables and wavetable synthesis, so potentially of interest to anyone browsing this particular thread. Cheers!

The wavetables in my KRC MPC Wavetables collection are about 1.25% of my complete KRC Mathwaves collection. I’ve been designing and computing new types of waveforms and wavetables for several years now.

There are many unique and interesting things that wavetables can do and the world of sound is incredibly vast.

That being said, my products are designed for experimental, sophisticated, and sexy synthesists and sound designers. So I realize that they are not for everyone. ;)
