Porting the XT Waves to Zebra

via suthnear via this KVR post.

"Since it looks as if Urs has fixed the 16 slot oscillator loading bug I'm now going to convert all the microwave xt wavetables to z2 oscillators. However, I can't just convert the wavetables themselves - they often have more than 16 waves. I'll definitely convert all the individual waveshapes from the xt's wavebank and bang them into z2 tables 16 at a time. There are 100s of them so this will mean many, many new oscillators. This is how I converted the prophet vs waveshapes to z2. However, there is not necessarily a relationship between contiguous waves in the wavebank. Relationships are handled by the wavetables which group individual waveshapes (wavetables are just a set of pointers into the wavebank) . So sweeping z2's table may lead to discontinuities. Also, since there's no way to copy individual waves between oscillators, it'll be tricky to build up your own wavetables using the sounds.

I'll try and create z2 versions of the wavetables themselves - i.e. pick the most characteristic waves in a wavetable and rebuild the wavetable itself as a z2 oscillator (using z2's interpolation where necessary). For the wavetables with 16 waves or fewer this will be trivial. However, for the tables with more than 16 waves, this will be manual and therefore will take some time. Any other suggestions for this?

Also, I don't have any web space - can anyone recommend a decent hassle free hosting service. As noted, I also have the prophet vs waves..."

You can find the waves at the post.
