01Overview

Wavesynth is a Kontakt instrument from Karanyi Sounds built around wavetable synthesis. Its preset library draws on classic hardware such as the Juno 106, Prophet 6 and 8, Voyager and MS20, giving producers a route to familiar analog-style tones within a wavetable engine. The developer describes the instrument as covering basslines, sequences, arps, cinematic textures and drones. It runs in Kontakt on Windows and macOS.

Wavetable Sound Design and Filtering

Wavesynth offers 14 wavetable algorithms, each shaping the waveform in a different way. Amp and wavetable envelopes let you control how sounds evolve over time. Two LFOs are provided: one for wavetable position and one for a Prophet-type low-pass filter. A separate Moog-type low-pass filter adds another filtering option.

The developer notes that the instrument is almost as flexible as an analog synth, with more than 60 parameters that can all be MIDI-learned.

Effects, Mastering Tools and Randomization

Three customizable effects are included: dimension, tape delay and hall reverb. A master section provides EQ, a compressor and a limiter, so a patch can be finished inside the instrument.

ROLL is the built-in intelligent randomizer. It generates new starting points quickly, which can be useful when you want to find unexpected patches or work outside your usual presets.
