VS Image to Wavetable

---

*"VS Image to Wavetable" is software bundled with "VS WT Synth".

VS Image to Wavetable is software for converting images (png, jpg, bmp) to wavetables (wav), converting wavetables (wav) back to images, converting waveform images to wav files, and converting wav files to waveform images.
It can be used for various purposes such as mass creation of wavetables from images like photos, converting wavetables to images for editing and then converting them back to wav, and converting hand-drawn waveforms into wav files.
The converted wav file can be used mainly with Kontakt's wavetable synthesizer such as "VS WT Synth".
(*In Serum (released by xfer Records), you can import it by specifying 2048 (window size at creation) in Import → Audio (via fixed frame size) on the wavetable editing screen.)
(*In Vital (released by VITAL AUDIO), you can get a similar waveform by reading it as WAVETABLE and setting BLEND STYLE to NONE (in Vital, it may not be exactly the same waveform))

[Convert Image to Wavetable]
Convert the image to a wavetable. Converts the original image into a waveform one horizontal row at a time, starting from the bottom, and converts the waveform to a maximum of 256 positions. It converts dark colors into negative values and bright colors into positive values to form the audio waveform.
While the original image is adjusted to a suitable form for the wavetable regardless of its size, if you want to strictly control the resulting waveform data, you can reduce data loss during conversion by setting the width to 2048px, height to the required number of positions, and color depth to 16 bits.
The default window size is 2048, but it can also be adjusted to match the pixel width of individual images. The frequency and bit depth of the output wav file can be set within the software. However, if the input image is 8 bits, the output waveform will also be equivalent to 8 bits. If you want to reduce aliasing in the up-conversion of waveforms, please check the "Smoothing" option.
Functions such as normalization, DC offset, smooth loop processing (which smoothly connects the beginning and end of each waveform), and waveform texture (changing the texture by resampling, blurring, etc.) are also available.

[Convert Wavetable to PNG Image]
Convert a wavetable to an image. It converts the wavetable into an image by breaking it into lines based on the window size. It converts positive values into bright colors and negative values into dark colors, arranging them from the bottom up.
The default window size is 2048, but if the conversion source wavetable is other than 2048, you can specify the window size in the range of 256 to 2048.
By default, it outputs in a square shape, with the width and height being the same as the window size in pixels.
If you uncheck the "Reshape to Square" option, the height will be the same as the number of positions.

[Convert Line (Waveform Image) to WAV]
It converts waveform images with white lines on a black background into WAV files. In areas where multiple lines overlap, it prioritizes the higher ones.
Increasing the number of pixels in the vertical height of the image increases the resolution of the waveform depth.
The default window size is 2048, but it can be adjusted to match the pixel width of individual images.

[Convert WAV to Line (Waveform Image)]
It converts WAV files into waveform images. It outputs waveform images with the area below the waveform lines filled in white against a black background.
The default width of the output image is 2048px, but it can be specified within the range of 256 to 2048px. The height is fixed at 2001px.
